When a flue pipe passes through a wall or a ceiling, special installation methods must be applied (protection, thermal insulation,
distances from heat-sensitive materials, etc.) See the paragraph “CONNECTING TO A CONVENTIONAL CHIMNEY”.
• It is also recommended that all elements made of combustible or inflammable material, such as beams, wooden furniture, curtaining, flammable
liquids, etc. be kept outside the heat radiation range of the stove and at a distance of at least 80 cm from the heating block.
• For other information, see the paragraph “
MINIMUM SAFETY DISTANCES
” and “
CONNECTING TO A CONVENTIONAL CHIMNEY
”.
• The flue pipe, chimney stack, chimney and fresh air intake must always be free of obstructions, clean and checked periodically, that is, at least
twice during the seasonal period from the lighting of the stove and during its use. When the stove has not been used for some time it is advisable
to carry out the checks mentioned above. For further information, consult a chimneysweep.
• Only use recommended fuels (See section “
