2.5. Chimney connector
-
The connection to flue must be carried out
according to local building regulations.
-
The appliance must be installed as close as possible
to the chimney.
-
The connector pipe must be approved for installation
with combustion products (either 24 ga. Black painted
or blued steel or 316 grade 20 ga. Stainless steel or 1
mm vitreous enamelled steel).
-
Pipe diameter must not be less than the appliance
spigot diameter. If there is no other solution, the
reduction can not be more than one diameter lower
than the flue spigot and be situated as distant as
possible from the flue connection of the appliance.
-
The connection can be either vertical or horizontal. For
horizontal connections, avoid right angle bends.
-
The join between the connection pipe and the
stovepipe, and the flue, must be leak tight.
-
For the premises equipped with a mechanical
controlled ventilation, the airtightness has to prevent
the exhauster drawing out the smokes from the
exhaust gas pipe.
-
The connection pipe and any draught stabiliser must
have access for cleaning.
-
The spigot should be connected to a minimum of 125
mm flue system and in that case the appliance is
capable of burning untreated wood and recommended
solid fuels.
2.6. Pre-utilisation check
Check the condition of the filler seals, that the door
closes correctly, that the window is not damaged, that
the smoke passages are not obstructed by pieces of
packaging or removable parts. All removable parts, fuel
retainer, oscillating grate, baffle, must be correctly
installed.
Note :
if it acts of a ceramics braid, it is consumable and
thus brought to be changed by the user.

2.8. Maintenance of the Chimney
Very important :
In order to avoid any incident
(chimney fire, etc...), maintenance tasks must be
carried out regularly. If the appliance is regularly used,
the chimney should be swept several times per year,
together with the stovepipe connection section.
If the chimney catches fire, you must cut off the flue
draught, close the doors and windows, hatches and
keys,
remove the embers from the stove
