The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney.
The higher the temperature within the chimney, the greater the draft. It is crucial, therefore, that
the chimney is warmed up properly before closing the damper and limiting the combustion in the
stove (a brick chimney takes longer to warm up than a steel chimney). On days where the wea-
ther and wind conditions create insufficient draught inside the chimney, it is even more important
to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to quickly get some flames going.
Split the wood into extra fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe
is not blocked.
t is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first
check the applicable rules.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct
and the smoke chamber above the baffle plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If
the chimney is too tall to be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire, close all dampers and call the firefighters. Before any further use,
have the chimney checked by the chimney sweeper.
The type badge and the serial number (Drawing C)
On WIKING Luma 1/Luma 2 the type badge and serial number are glued onto an extension plate
located in the left side next to the locking hook. Lift off the front plate (1) as shown in the drawing
and pull the little handle gently (2).
On WIKING Luma 3/Luma 4/Luma 5/Luma 6 the type badge and the serial number are placed
on the inside of the door below the combustion chamber.
