Many problems with inset fires are caused by badly working chimneys. Therefore some suggestions:
•
A round channel is preferred (minimum friction)
•
The diameter of the chimney may not be smaller at any point than that of the appliance
•
The mouth of the chimney should be unobstructed
•
The chimney should be as close as possible to vertical with as few curves as possible.
•
The chimney must not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers and cleaning hatches in the cellar or
on the roof!
•
The chimney may not have too many connections - that reduces the upwards pressure. Consult your
chimney specialist!
•
Flue connections to different stoves and fireplaces may not be located opposite each other at the same
height, in order to prevent the chance that combustion gases will not be drawn out. Two flue connections
must be at separated vertically by at least 30 cm.
•
For the chimney opening, you will need to comply with your national legislation.
For details on chimneys we refer you to the relevant regulations with which the chimney needs to comply.

Connection of the stove to the chimney
The stove can be connected directly to the chimney.
ATTENTION!
It's important that all parts of the chimney are fitted airtight.
The diameter of the chimney should match the diameter of the flue outlet of the appliance., Please note the
following regarding the diameter of the chimney:
•
The diameter of the chimney may not be reduced. Also, the flue outlet must fit the chimney perfectly.
•
If there is too much chimney draught, then a damper must be incorporated.
•
The chimney may not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers and cleaning hatches in the cellar or
on the roof!
•
The flue outlet must be securely attached to the connector pipe.

What must I do in the event of a chimney fire?
We recommend that you take the following steps in the event of a chimney fire
1. Close off the air supply.
2. Call the fire brigade.
3. Clear access routes to the cleaning openings (e.g. cellar and attic).
4. Move all inflammable objects away from the chimney.
5. When the appliance is put back into service, the chimney and the stove should be checked over by a
specialist.
6. This specialist should also investigate the cause of the chimney fire after and take any corrective
measures.
