MAINTENANCE
The ue must be kept clean, since the deposit of soot or unburned oils reduces the cross-section reducing the draft and thus compromising
the ecient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch re. The ue and chimney must be cleaned and
checked by a qualied chimney sweep at least once a year. Once the maintenance has been performed, request a written declaration that
the device is safe.
Failure to clean the system jeopardises the 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/ue 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
outow into the atmosphere must be
beyond the reux zone created by the
shape of the roof or any obstacles near
the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).
