9.3 Soot build-up on the HE smoke sliding
deflector
(Drawing 26):
During the chimney
cleaning, be sure to remove any creosote or soot
build-up over the HE smoke deflector. The build-
up of soot on the deflector can prevent the flow of
smoke.
In addition, the sooth accumulation
over the HE plate reduces the efficiency of the
secondary combustion because ash insulates
and lowers the temperature of the secondary
combustion chamber
; the HE plate could
overheat and damage over time.
10.1 Firescreen:
The optional firescreen is
simply put in place in the front of the insert. Just
tilt it a little and slip it into the opening.
Integrated clips will keep it in place.
11.1 Anti-smoke flap installation (optional)::
See details on
Drawing 27.
12.1 Excessive humidity and condensation:
In
winter, high humidity levels inside the house can
cause chimney problems such as condensation,
and ice build-up eventually dripping into the
fireplace. In extreme cases, the condensation
water can even infiltrate the chimney insulation.
To avoid these problems, it is necessary to
maintain a 30-35% humidity level inside the
house.

Cleaning of the HE smoke deflector
DRAWING 26
To prevent soot build-up the
smoke deflector must be
cleaned at regular intervals
Cleaning sequence
Unscrew the rod that control
the sliding damper. Access the nut
from inside the fireplace.
Unscrew the 4 bolts that
hold the smoke deflector.
Take out the deflector. Tilt it down
