HOW TO MEASURE THE DRAW OF A CHIMNEY FLUE
In order to measure the draw of a chimney flue, follow the procedure
where a testo 510 instrument will be used (Figure 1):
• Remove the side panel from the stove so that it is possible to
access the exhaust outlet (Figure 2). Disconnect the silicone
tube from the pressure switch.
• Connect the instrument as indicated in Figure 3. Position it in a
way so that it maintains a firm vertical position during the meas-
uring phase.
• Keep the front door of the combustion chamber of the stove and
the pellet tank door closed and press the on button of the instru-
ment, reset it before measuring the draw.
