In all our heater models there is a port for the connecting flue duct on top of and behind 
the heater. Close the unused port with the cap provided. With the heater there is also a 200 
mm connecting flue duct, which can be used for rear-mounted flue ducts. Do not push the 
connecting flue duct too far into the chimney – this will block air flow. The gap between the 
masonry chimney and connecting flue duct must be insulated with, for example, mineral 
wool.

The masonry connector is bricked into a hole made in the chimney at the correct height for 
connection to the flue duct port. The flue duct is connected to the heater, which is removed 
when the flue duct is inserted into the masonry connector. The optional flue duct feed-
through collar is used to give a finishing touch over the masonry work around the flue duct. 
The feed-through collar is made of noble metal.

Heater installation

There are two ways to connect the connecting flue duct to the chimney. If the connecting 
flue duct is run from the top of the heater, the port in the back of the heater must be closed 
tightly with the cap provided (remove the cap on the top port).

During installation ensure that the heater is fastened securely on its base, and that all the 
minimum safety distances listed in this manual are correct.
