Care and cleaning
It is extremely important to keep the flue clean from creosote and deposits as soot is the major cause of
chimney fires. The top of the fan is hinged and can be opened to ensure easy cleaning of the fan.
Cleaning intervals depend on the use of the fireplace. The more the appliance is used, the more often the
chimney flue must be cleaned.
If a fireplace is used regularly (2-3 times a week), a semi-annual cleaning of the chimney and the fan may
be required. If used on a daily basis shorter intervals may apply.
Commercial use of wood-fired pizza ovens may require chimney cleaning every 2-3 months.
No matter how often the fan is used, the fan must be inspected and cleaned at least once a year – for
instance when the chimney is inspected and cleaned by your chimney sweep. The chimney should always
be cleaned by a trained professional chimney sweep.
Note!
The motor in the fan has ball bearings that are sealed, lifetime lubricated and maintenance-free.
Should replacement of the bearings be required, this should be carried out by properly qualified personnel
only.
WARNING! Do not open the motor housing unless
the power to the chimney fan has been disconnected!
Cleaning procedure
Step Action
1
Use the isolation switch to switch off the power to
the fan and make sure the fan doesn’t rotate.

To open the fan:
• Remove the lower nut and turn the handles.
• Remove the locking pin from the back of the fan.
• To secure the fan in open position place the lock
pinin the bracket again.
• The nut must be refitted when the fan is closed.
Can be omitted if local laws allow this.
3
Using a scraper or brush, carefully clean the axial
vane/impeller.
4
Check the path taken by the smoke through the top
and bottom sections of the fan for soot deposits,
and clean where necessary with a scraper or brush.

While the fan is open, it is also possible for the
chimney sweep to sweep the chimney.
6
Make sure that no weights on the centrifugal
impeller are removed as this could impair the
balance of the impeller.
