In accordance with the provisions of the EU Machinery Directive*, a chimney fan must always have an isolation switch fitted. The isolation switch must comply with national wiring standards. The isolation switch must be ordered separately, as it is not part of the standard Exodraft chimney fan delivery.
Turn the chimney fan ON and make sure that it is turning. Increase and decrease the speed of the fan by adjusting the speed control to make sure the fan is operating properly. After system testing, Exodraft recommends igniting your fireplace or stove. Follow the guide below for correct lighting and use of the chimney fan.
Prior to the test, the required speed of the fan must be determined and adjusted according to fireplace manufacturer instruction and appropriate Exodraft fan control installation guides. To set the PDS, open the fan cover.
3112008_RHGC_UK Maintenance and troubleshooting Care and cleaning It is extremely important to keep the flue clean from creosote and deposits as soot is the major cause of chimney fires. The top of the fan is hinged and can be opened to ensure easy cleaning of the fan. Cleaning intervals depend on the use of the fireplace.
