6. General recommendations
• Do not place flammable materials in the immediate vicinity of the fireplace.
• Insulating materials: preferably use heat-resistant materials

and water are the biggest enemies of the Chamotflex in the appliance, which can cause them to burst after lighting the fire.
6.1 Maintenance
• In addition to regularly keeping the window clean, you must have your chimney swept at least once a year for the VENUS to
function properly. (Not only is this legal, but it is also for your safety.)
• A refractory brick (Chamotte) can still work perfectly if it is cracked. But if parts of a brick are missing, that brick must be re-
placed to eectively protect the combustion chamber
• Remove the surplus ash in time with the ash clearer.
Please note: Never remove all the ashes, because a fire burns even better on its own ashes. Also empty the ash pan in time (ash
pan full prevents air supply for combustion)
