What must I do in the event of a chimney fire?
We recommend that you take the following steps in the event of a chimney fire
1. Close off the air supply.
2. Call the fire brigade.
3. Clear access routes to the cleaning openings (e.g. cellar and attic).
4. Move all inflammable objects away from the chimney.
5. When the appliance is put back into service, the chimney and the inset fire should be checked over by a specialist.
6. This specialist should also investigate the cause of the chimney fire after and take any corrective measures.
SUGGESTION
Connection of the inset fire to the chimney
The inset fire can be connected directly to the chimney. It's important that all parts of the chimney are fitted airtight.
The diameter of the chimney should be the same as the diameter of the flue outlet of the appliance.
Please note the following regarding the diameter of the chimney:

The diameter of the chimney may not be reduced. Also, the flue outlet must fit the chimney perfectly.

If there is too much chimney draught, then a damper must be incorporated.

The chimney may not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers and cleaning hatches in the cellar or on the
roof!

The flue outlet must be securely attached to the connector pipe.
Combustion air
The required oxygen for the fire is supplied through the space under the fire door.
An optimal combustion requires sufficient fresh air. A lack of oxygen may result in incomplete combustion and
reversing flue gases. Additional combustion air can be supplied by placing an air inlet grill as close as possible to the
appliance. Air inlet grills must be positioned so that they are not liable to blockage
NOTE
If there is still a backdraught of flue gases 15 minutes after lighting because of the weather conditions (strong wind or
fog, for example) the fire should be extinguished until the weather improves.
ATTENTION!
If you let the fire burn for 10 minutes each day at maximum power, this allows combustion
products to be burnt off. This reduces the risk of any chimney fire and also helps keep the
window cleaner.
Extractor fans when operating in the same room or space as the appliance may cause
problems.
Under no circumstances should air be drawn from rooms or cellars containing volatile or
flammable substances.
