2-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE
The flue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising
the efficient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch fire. The flue and chimney must be cleaned and
checked by a skilled chimney sweep at least once a year. Once the check/maintenance has been performed, request a signed report stating
that the system is safe.
Failure to clean the system jeopardises its safety.
CHIMNEY
The chimney is a crucial element for the heating appliance to work properly: we recommend a wind proof chimney (A), see Figure 7.
The area of the opening for smoke extraction must be at least double the cross-section of the smoke duct/flue system, and arranged so
that smoke extraction is ensured even
in strong wind. The chimney must
prevent rain, snow or animals from
entering the chimney. The height of
outflow into the atmosphere must be
beyond the reflux zone created by the
shape of the roof or any obstacles near
the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).
