might state different fresh air demands and/or might demand certain fresh
air inlet openings to the room. Whatever is the most stringent will prevail.
install the stove horizontally by changing the height of the adjustable feet. use a
spirit level. make sure the stove is stable at all times- all adjustable feet must make
good contact with the floor.
this stove is provided with a top flue gas outlet with a 12 cm diameter (see picture 2).
B.1 thE FLuE/chImnEY
the heater can only function safely and efficiently when it is connected to a pro-
fessional installed, good functioning chimney/flue. the chimney/flue system must
always be installed following local legislation (law/directives/standards) and/or fol-
lowing insurance company prescription and/or instructions given in this manual.
Whatever is the most stringent will prevail.
the stove may not be used to support the flue/chimney.
the flue/chimney must be kept clean at all times as soot deposits or not burnt resi-
dues may reduce its opening. culmination of soot deposits or residues might even
catch fire leading to dangerous situations. have the chimney cleaned and swept
following the local legislation and/or your insurance company prescription. if no
local legislation and/or insurance company prescription: make sure that at least
twice per year at the beginning of the heating season your entire stove system
-including chimney- is checked and maintained by an authorized specialist. When
intensively using the heater the chimney must be cleaned more frequently.
the stove needs a chimney/flue draught of 12 pa. (plus or minus 2 pa.). this draught
to be measured when the stove and chimney are warm.
When the draught is more than 12 pa. the efficiency is lowered and the resulting
higher temperatures will shorten the lifetime of the stove.
When the draught is less than 12 Pa. the proper combustion is hindered, and exces-
sive carbon deposits and smoke will be produced.
not enough draught might lead to dangerous situations as the flue gasses
might enter the room. always make sure there is sufficient draught.
G
install a chimney damper, this will allow you to control the draught and to
totally shut off the chimney.
make sure the flue pipe connection to the combustion gasses outlet of the stove is
air tight. seal the joint carefully.
use the correct connection pipe diameter 120 mm. make sure there are no nar-
rowings.
only use dedicated flue gas (chimney) pipe suitable for the occurring temperatu-
