Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The appliance must
never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for linoleum, gasoline etc.). Do
not deposit flammable materials close to the same.
During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplace glass, the
handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact of these parts without
gloves or the relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove.
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a chimney fire.
NON-flammable material
Protection of the floor with
incombustible material.
Flooring in combustible material.
A = Side limit of the protected area (A=H+20 cm=> 40 cm)
B = Front limit of the protected area.(B=H+30 cm=> 60 cm)
H = Height of the hearth surface from the ground

FIRST-AID MEASURES
Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a)
Close the feeding door and the ash drawer door.
b)
Close the registers of combustion air
c)
Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting means (CO
d)
Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS
When the fire has been extinguished, let the flue check by an expert to find possible cracks and permeable points.

FLUE
Essential requirements for a correct operation of the device:
•
the internal section must be preferably circular;
•
be thermally insulated and water-proof and produced with materials suitable to resist to heat,
combustion products and possible condensates;
•
not be throttled and show a vertical arrangement with deviations not greater than 45° ;
•
if already used, it must be clean;
•
observe the technical data of the instructions manual; Should the flues have a square or rectangular section,
internal edges must be rounded with a radius not lower than 20 mm. For the rectangular section, the
maximum ratio between the sides must be ≤ 1.5.
•
A too small section causes a decrease of the draught.
It is suggested a minimum height of 4 m.
The following features are forbidden and therefore they endanger the good operation of the device:
asbestos cement, galvanized steel, rough and porous internal surfaces. Picture 3 gives some examples of execution.
The minimum section must be 4 dm
200 mm or 6.25 dm
(for example 25 x 25 cm) for devices with diameter greater than 200 mm.

The draught created by the flue must be sufficient, but not excessive.

(for example 20 x 20 cm) for devices whose duct diameter is lower than
