2.3. Proper conduct in case of a fire in the chimney!
• If employing improper or wet fuel, a fire can be produced in the chimney due to the accretions in the
chimney.
Proper conduct:
• Shut all the air orifices of the stove immediately.
• Inform the fire brigade and the chimneysweep.
• Provide access to cleaning orifices.
• Once the fire is over, have the chimney inspected by an expert in fissures and leaks.
• Ascertain the reason of the fire in the chimney.
3. Chimney
3.1. Weather conditions
For safe operation of the fire box, it is always necessary to secure that the chimney may have a sufficient draft.
In particular, this issue must be taken in consideration in transition seasons (e.g. in the spring, in the autumn
etc.).
3.2. The draft of the chimney at nominal heating output of the stove
min. draft of the
chimney (from type):
11-12 Pa
If the minimum draft of the chimney is not achieved, a proper operation of
the stove is not possible.
Note
At a low draft of the chimney, we recommend to connect the chimney by
a vertical tube, 1 m long at least.
max. draft of the
chimney:
20 Pa
If surpassing the maximum admissible draft of the chimney, there in-
creases the consumption of fuel, the temperature in the combustion
space and consequently, the heating output.
Note
There arises the danger of overheating, and consequently, excessive
load on construction parts.
In case of excessive draft of the chimney, we recommend to install a
draft controller or a draft limiter.
WARNING
Prior to the installation, it is always necessary to calculate the chimney according to the standard.
3.3. Connection to the chimney
• The tube of the smoke flue must be mounted on the neck of the discharge of combustion products.
