• The fi replace can be connected to a chimney and fl ue
pipe approved for solid fuel fi red appliances with fl ue gas
temperatures specifi ed in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
fl ue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel fi red appliances can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is suffi cient.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in accordance
with the installation instructions from the supplier of the
chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fi replace should
be test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position of
the fi replace and the hole in the chimney. See fi g. 1
for minimum dimensions.
• Ensure that the fl ue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a fl ue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it to
be swept.
Be aware of the fact that it is particularly important that
connections have a certain fl exibility in order to prevent
movement in the installation leading to cracks.
N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very important for
the proper functioning of the product.
Chimney draught; See «2.0 Technical data». If the draught
is too strong you can install and operate a fl ue damper to
