CHIMNEY POT
The chimney pot must have a total exit section double than the same exit on the
flue to make easier the outlet of the fumes. The chimney pot must be enough tall
to lean out over the reflow zone generated by the roof: if you are not sure about
this contact experienced technicians. If you are in a windy place, it might be neces-
sary to install windproof devices.
2.6
CONJUNCTION
The conjunction of the stove to the flue must be as short as possible and must not
have horizontal or not much inclined parts. The counterslope parts are forbidden
and must be absolutely avoided.
Near the conjunction, inflammable materials must not be present. The conjunc-
tion must not go inside the flue. To increase the safety of the conjunction, we sug-
gest to install a washer on the wall being sure that the connection between the
washer and the chimney is walled and well sealed. Also the connection between
the stove and the conjunction must be fixed and sealed.

AIR OUTLETS
In the room in which the stove is placed the air exchange must be insured, spe-
cially if the room is small or the doors are hermetical. The correct air flow in the
stove must be insured also in presence of other combusting devices or aspiring
hoods, chimneys or vent-holes. Extracting fans, when used in the same room of
the device, may cause problems to working of the thermal stove. The air outlet
must have a minimum surface of 80cm
