Failure to comply with these requirements may prevent the correct operation of
the unit, resulting in warranty void. Be sure to follow all the instructions on the
diagrams.
Free Standing Fires operate with the combustion chamber in draught, which is
why it is absolutely necessary that they include a fume exhaust duct to adequately
extract combustion gases.
Fume duct material:
The tubing must consist of 0.5mm thick rigid stainless steel,
with fitting bindings to attach the different sections and accessories.
Insulation : The fume ducts must be double-walled and insulated to make sure the
fumes do not cool down going outwards, which could cause an inadequate circulation
and condensation that may damage the unit.
Output “T - tube”: Always attach to the output of the unit a "T -tube" with a damper.
Chimney Crown: A wind shield termination must be installed to avoid fume back flow.
Chimney draught : The Figures below show three standard diagrams, specifying
adequate lengths and diameters. Any other type of installation must guarantee a
draught of 12 Pa (0.12 mbars) measured when hot and at the maximum power.
Ventilation: To get the optimum operation from the unit it is necessary that the
installation location has an air inlet with a minimum section of 100 cm 2 ,
preferably near the back panel of the unit .
If the house is equipped with an air exhaust system (e.g. kitchen extractor
fan), a top ventilation section must be installed, suitable to accommodate the
different air exhaust systems existing in the household. The installation of the
unit on locations near kitchen exhaust fans or fume extractors may prevent
the unit from operating properly. It is recommended that the unit is
disconnected when these extractors are working.
