regulator (buttery valve) on the exhaust pipe or in the chimney, according to the regulations in force.

For correct appliance operation, it is essential that sufcient air for combustion is introduced into the place of installation (see paragraph

AIR FLOW IN THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION DURING COMBUSTION).

6.3. CONNECTING A FIREPLACE OR OPEN HEARTH TO THE FLUE

The ue gas channel is the stretch of piping which connects the thermo-product to the ue. In the connection, these simple but extremely

important principles must be respected:

• under no circumstances use a ue gas channel with a diameter less than that of the exhaust clamp with which the thermo-product is

including the intake into the ue.

If the user wishes to use the ue as a replace or open hearth, it is necessary to seal the hood below the entrance point of the ue gas

channel pos. A Picture 6 at page 79.

If the ue is then too big (e.g. 30x40cm or 40x50cm), it is necessary to intubate it with a stainless steel tube with a diameter of at least

200mm, pos. B, taking care to close the remaining spaces between the pipe and the ue immediately under the chimney pot pos. C.

7. AIR FLOW IN THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION DURING COMBUSTION

As the product draw their combustion air from the place of installation, it is MANDATORY that in the place itself, a sufcient quantity of air

is introduced. If windows and doors are airtight (e.g. built according to energy saving criteria), it is possible that the fresh air intake is no

longer guaranteed and this jeopardises the draught of the appliance and your health and safety. It is therefore necessary to guarantee a

supply of fresh air through an external air inlet placed near the appliance or by placing piping for combustion air which leads outside or to

that in environments in which products are operated with a natural chimney draught, as much air as is necessary for combustion is

introduced, i.e. up to 25 (>11kW) m³/hour. The natural recirculation of air must be guaranteed by some xed openings to the outside. Their

size is established by regulations regarding the subject. Ask for information from a chimneys weep. The openings must be protected with

grills and must never be blocked up. An extractor hood (suction) installed in the same room or in a neighbouring one causes a depression in

the environment. This causes the leakage of burnt gas (dense smoke, smell); it is therefore necessary to ensure a greater ow of fresh air.

The depression of an extractor hood can, in the worst case scenario, transform the ue of the product into an external air inlet,

re sucking the ue gases into the environment with very serious consequences for persons.

8. ALLOWED / NOT ALLOWED FUELS

Allowed fuels are logs. Use exclusively dry logs (max. content of water 20%). Maximum 3 logs should be loaded. The pieces of wood

should have a length of ca. 20-30 cm and a maximum circumference of 30-35 cm.

Fresh wood contains about 60% of H

O, therefore it is not suitable to be burnt.

It is necessary to place this wood in a dry and ventilated place (for example under a roong) for at least two years before using it.

Besides others, it is not possible to burn: carbon, cuttings, waste of bark and panels, humid wood or wood treated with paints,

plastic materials; in this case, the warranty on the device becomes void.

Paper and cardboard must be used only to light the re.

The combustion of waste is FORBIDDEN and would even damage the appliance and the ue, causing health damages and claims by

the neighborhood owing to the bad smell.

The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as consequence the heating all over the night is not possible.
