INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLATION AND USE - INTERRA - WOOD
3. GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS
The appliance must be connected to the flue pipe and tested before the material is
cemented in. In order to ensure that the appliance functions optimally, one must
insulate the hot air ducts completely, comply with the minimum of the diameter
measurements for the hot air ducts and hot air vents and the chimney must be ad
-
justed. Do not put any inflammable materials in the immediate vicinity of the stove.
Note: If you leave the door open, little burning pieces of wood may be projected
onto the floor.
Insulating materials: it is preferable to use “high temperature” materials.
It is strongly advisable to position the chimney and to connect the stove in such a
way that no humidity or water can enter the stove. Humidity and water are the gre
-
atest enemies of the Chamotflex in the appliance because it can swell and burst after
the fire has been lit.
3.1 MAINTENANCE
• Besides regularly cleaning the window, you must have your chimney swept at
least once a year for optimal functioning of the INTERRA. (Not only is this a legal
requirement, but it is also meant for your own safety.)
• A fire brick (Chamotte) can still work perfectly, even if it is cracked, but if pieces
are missing the brick must be replaced to effectively protect the combustion cham
-
ber.
• Remove the remainder of the ash in time, and remove a great part of the ashes
from the INTERRA with the ashpan. Note: Never remove all the ashes because a fire
always burns better with its own ashes.
Cleaning the window:
• Open the window (pic. 10)
• We advise you to use M-design’s “Bio-Clean” to clean the window, which is avai
-
lable from your supplier. It is one of the few products that do not harm the lacquer
(pic.11).
