duals do not obstruct the grill • Verify that the
grill is not inserted correctly (the flat part is up)
• Verify that the place in which the cooker is
situated is well aired and that aspiring hoods
or other devices are not working • Verify the
correct dimensioning of the chimney and of the

ney is not obstructed and that it was cleaned
recently • Verify that there are no losses in the
exhaust-pipe and in the conjunctions • Verify
that no other devices are connected to the flue
• Verify that the chimney suites the position in
which it is situated, in windy places you could
have to install an anti-wind chimney • Verify
that the combustible is right, dry and of good
quality • Verify that the chimney does not go on
under the wood fired cooker
• Allow the flow of air in the room • Open
slightly the ash door when you start the cooker

Verify that the cooker had the time to dry and

Verify the activation temperature of the circula-

If big hot water accumulation tanks are present,
we suggest to install a valve or anti-condensation
system.
