MAINTENANCE
•
The chimney flue must be cleaned, since the soot and unburnt oil deposits reduce its section so blocking
the draught. In great quantities they can flare up.
•
The fumes extraction pipes (fumes c chimney flue + chimney pot) must always be cleaned,
scrubbed and checked by an expert stove-repairer, in compliance with current regulations, with the
instructions of the stove-manufacturer and the directives of your insurance company.

•
Have your chimney flue and chimney pot checked and cleaned by an expert chimney sweep at least
once a week. The chimney sweep has to release a written declaration about the security of the system.
