
Due to the self closing door, you have to be extra careful when you are filling the fireplace.

It is forbidden to use the fireplace as a waste incinerator.

Don’t use burned or used wood as fuel.

Remove the ash only after it has completely cooled off.

Ash should be placed outdoors or be disposed in a place where there is no risk of ignition.

Immediately inform your specialized local supplier if you find any malfunction.

Don’t use chemicals or liquids as fire starters.

Do not use ANY fuel other than the recommended.
5.5. Flue safety instructions
Prior to installing the fireplace ARTE® the chimney sweep or a
qualified technician should check the condition and operation
of your chimney in accordance with the standards
EN13384-1 &
EN13384-2.
By this way, you ensure the best conditions for heating without
issues.
- Basic requirements for proper flue operation

The internal section of the flue must preferably be circular. In a
case of square or rectangular flue, the internal corners should
have a radius of at least 20mm. In case of rectangular flue, the
ratio of the sides should be at maximum 1: 1.5.

The flue must be properly insulated and waterproof and
constructed of materials with thermal resistance and resistance
to combustion products and any deposits.

The flue must have no constrictions, it must have a vertical path and it should not change in direction that exceeds
45
o
C (Pic. 5.5.1).

In case of an existing flue the construction material should be checked. Materials such as cement with lime,
galvanized steel and rough or porous materials are contraindicated as they create issues in the correct operation of
the fireplace. Also, a proper study for the flue size must be conducted because often old flues have quite large
diameters. This means that the amount of air draft is not proportional to the heat generated by the fireplace and by
extension means that you consume more wood than necessary and will spend more time on maintenance. The
solution proposed in these cases is the connection of an inner tube inside the flue. This tube should extend over the
whole length of the flue and at no point should exceed in diameter the outlet flue of the fireplace. If the existing flue
has the desired diameter a proper cleaning by qualified personnel should be done.

In case of placement of the flue, along outer wall, a careful research must be done in order the thermal loses to be
prevented. However, this solution is not appropriate as the placement of the flue inside the house, heats up more
spaces, as the whole heat of the flue.

The usage of gravitational damper is recommended, for flue ≥ 6 m, in order steady and efficient burning to be insured.
- Chimney placement
The placement of the chimney on the roof is a particularly decisive factor in the convection of the fireplace.
An incorrectly fitted chimney may generate reimbursement of exhaust into the heating space due to down flow of the
air.
Follow the instructions below to ensure proper dissipation of smoke (Pic. 5.5.2).
Pic. 5.5.1
Follow the operating instructions supplied with the product to help prevent fire and
protect the environment.
