2-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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 ecient functioning of the heater and, if large build-ups accumulate, can catch re. The ue 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/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
outow into the atmosphere must be
beyond the reux zone created by the
shape of the roof or any obstacles near
the outlet (see Figures 2-3-4-5-6).
