- Certified pipes and connections with adequate seals guaranteeing their tightness must be used.
- In case of fire, shut down the stove, promptly call the fire department, and avoid continual attempts
to extinguish it.
- Clean the flue and respective connection at least once a year.
2.4.1Types of installation
Listed below are definitions and requirements for correct installation of an exhaust flue in accordance with Italian
Standard UNI10683:
FLUE : a vertical duct for collecting and expelling, at an appropriate height
from ground, the fumes coming from a single unit and, where permitted,
more than than one.
FLUE technical requirements : it must be fumetight, isolated and insulated
depending on its use;
- it must have a mainly vertical path with axis deviation < 45°;
- it must be at a suitable distance from flammable materials with insulation
or air gap;
- it must preferably have a constant, free and independent round internal
section;
- it is advisable for the flue to have an inspectionable chamber for the
collection of solid materials
- and any condensate, placed under the beginning of the fume duct.
FLUE CONNECTION or DUCT: duct or connection element between the
unit and flue for evacuation of fumes.
DUCT technical requirements: - it must not cross rooms in which the
installation of combustion units is not allowed;
- flexible metal tubes or fibre cement pipes are prohibited;
- the use of counter-sloping elements is prohibited;
- horizontal sections must have an upward slope of at least 3°;
- the length of the horizontal section must be minimal and not more than 3 m;
- there must not be more than 3 changes of direction, without the T union;
- with change of direction > 90° a max. of 2 bends can be used with length in horizontal projection not exceeding 2 m.
- the fume duct must have a constant section and allow the recovery of soot.
CHIMNEY CAP : a device placed on the top of the flue to facilitate the dispersion of fumes into the atmosphere.
CHIMNEY CAP technical requirements : it must have a section equivalent to that of the flue;
- it must have a useful section not less than double the internal section of the flue;
- it must prevent the entry of rain and foreign bodies and ensure the discharge of fumes in any
atmospheric condition;
- it must ensure an adequate dilution of fumes and be positioned outside the backflow area;
- it must be without mechanical means of suction.
The direct discharge of fumes must take place on the roof and not towards closed spaces
( even open air ).
2.5 Brazier and baffle position check
Before lighting the stove make sure the brazier is in the correct position, i.e. fitted in the special slots. Also make
sure the top smoke baffle is properly fitted. A wrongly positioned baffle can result in malfunctioning and excessive
blackening of the glass.
At every stove lighting, check the correct position of the brazier on the brazier holder.
2.6 Electrical connection
Connect one end of the power cable to the rear socket of the stove, and the other to the wall socket.
The voltage supplied by the system must match that specified on the stove dataplate and in the technical data
section of this manual.
During stove idle periods it is advisable to remove the power cable.
- Make sure the electrical system is equipped with an earth and differential switch in accordance with the
current Regulations.
- The power cable must never touch the stove exhaust pipe.
