The stove must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The
appliance must never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for
linoleum, gasoline etc.). Do not deposit flammable materials close to the same.
During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplace
glass, the handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact of
these parts without gloves or the relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove.
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a chimney
fire.

FIRST-AID MEASURES

Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a) Close the feeding door and the ash drawer door.
b) Close the registers of combustion air
c) Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting means (CO
Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
d)
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS
When the fire has been extinguished, let the flue check by an expert to find possible cracks and permeable
points.

FLUE

Essential requirements for a correct operation of the device:
the internal section must be preferably circular;
be thermally insulated and water-proof and produced with materials suitable to resist to
heat,
combustion products and possible condensates;
not be throttled and show a vertical arrangement with deviations not greater than 45°;
if already used, it must be clean;
observe the technical data of the instructions manual;
Should the flues have a square or rectangular section,
internal edges must be rounded with a radius not lower
than 20 mm. For the rectangular section, the maximum
ratio between the sides must be ≤ 1.5.
A too small section causes a decrease of the draught.
It is suggested a minimum height of 4 m.
The following features are forbidden and therefore they
endanger the good operation of the device:
asbestos cement, galvanized steel, rough and porous internal
surfaces. Picture 4 gives some examples of execution.
The minimum section must be 4 dm
cm) for devices whose duct diameter is lower than 200 mm
or 6.25 dm
(for example 25 x 25 cm) for devices with
2
diameter greater than 200 mm.
The draught created by the flue must be sufficient, but not
excessive.
A too big flue section can feature a too big volume to be heated
and consequently cause difficulties in the operation of the device;
to avoid this, tube the flue along its whole height. A too small
section causes a decrease of the draught.
The flue must be properly spaced from any flammable
materials or fuels through a proper insulation or an air
cavity.

AISI 316 steel flue with double
chamber insulated with material resistant
to 400°C. Efficiency 100% excellent.

excellent.
(3) Traditional clay flue square section
with cavities. Efficiency 80% excellent.
(4) Avoid flues with rectangular internal
section whose ratio differs from the
drawing. Efficiency 40% poor.
