Chimney and ue
The chimney is the most important part of your wood-burning hearth.
When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane
or create bad combustion. Before starting the installation of the stove, your installer or a quali ed chimney
sweep must check whether the chimney ue has a diameter of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length,
and whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.
Chimney with a proper draught
!
Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of every chimney. It helps when the wind near the
chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.
Fall wind may give the opposite e ect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy
air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long ue pipe with a rough inside and many
bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor your installer can give you information about
using a ventilator for your ue tube.
What to do in case of chimney re
!
In case of chimney re, immediately close the shut-o valve in the chimney and all air supply ducts.
Call the re department. After the re is extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be inspected
again by your installer.
Maintenance
Small maintenance
•
It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three centimetres. It will protect the re plate.
•
Remove the cooled-down ash from the ash bucked two or three times a week.
•
Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give o
cleansing agents or abrasives.
•
Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass
with your ngers. Finger marks burn into the glass.
•
Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.
!
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove.
When the stove is not used
•
Close all doors and air inlets in summer season
•
Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a humid space.
Yearly maintenance
•
Have your chimney properly cleaned by a quali ed chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons
and any re insurance.
•
Have the ue gas outlet and the combustion air supply of the double-walled ue tube system checked for
air-tightness every year.
•
Have the complete tube system checked every year; this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just
outside the wall.
•
Have the valves and/or aps checked for their functioning.
•
Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for wear and tear.
