Fireplace flue gas
Avoid contact with combustible materials (example:
wooden beams) and in any case provide for their insulation
with flame retardant material. In case of pipe penetrations
through roofs or walls is recommended to use special
kits crossing, certificates, are available commercially. In
the event of a chimney fire, turn off the stove, disconnect
from the network and never open the door. Then call the
authorities.
The chimney cap
The chimney cap must respect the following requirements:
• It must have the equivalent diameter and internal form
of the flue.
• It must have a useful outlet diameter of not less than
double that of the flue.
• The chimney cap on the roof or that remains in contact
with the outside (for example, in case of open lofts or
attics), must be covered with elements in brick or tile
and must, in any case, be well insulated.
• It must be constructed to prevent rain, snow, and
extraneous bodies from entering the flue and so that
the discharge of the products of combustion is not
inhibited by wind from any quarter or strength (wind-
proof chimney cap).
• The chimney cap must be positioned in such a way as
to guarantee the adequate dispersion and dilution of the
products of combustion and in any case, must be out of
the reflux zone. This zone has different dimensions and
forms according to the angle of inclination of the roof so
it is necessary to adopt minimum heights (Fig. 2).
• The chimney cap must be a wind-proof type and must
be above the ridge.
• Eventual structures or other obstacles that are higher
than the chimney cap must not be too close to the
chimney cap itself.

REMARKS:
- the appliance must be installed by a qualified technician in
possession of the technical and professional requirements
according to the DM37/2008 that, under its responsibility,
to ensure compliance with the rules of good technique.
- the thermostove must be connected to a heating system
and/or to a network of production of sanitary hot water,
consistent with its performance and its power
- you need to keep in mind all laws and national, regional,
provincial and municipal laws of the country in which you
installed the device
- check that the floor is not flammable: if necessary use a
suitable platform
- in the room where the generator must be installed to
heat must not pre-exist or be installed with an extractor
hood or ventilation ducts of the collective type.
Should these devices be located in adjacent rooms
communicating with the installation, and ‘prohibited the
simultaneous use of the heat generator, where there is a
risk that one of the two rooms being placed in depression
than the other
- it is not permissible to install in bedrooms or bathrooms
- for hydraulic connections (see next chapter) it is advisable
to use where possible of hoses
Distance to objects
The thermostove should be inspected on all sides, so you
have to keep a distance of at least 40 cm at the back and
sides. It is also recommended to keep the pellets and all
flammable materials at a suitable distance
40 cm
