Flue - Alfa Network QUICK User Manual

- Wood-fired models must be connected to a smoke evacuation system, the exhaust
must be leak-proof.
- As a rule, the chimney must serve only one oven; connecting more than one to a
single chimney could jeopardise the smooth escape of fumes.
- A well-designed chimney must not contain too many joints; elbows with an angle
greater than 45° are to be avoided at all costs in order to ensure that the flue gases
escape correctly.
- In case of excessive draught in the oven, provide a draught regulating valve (ALFA
accessory).
- The valve is not supplied with the oven, for more information visit www.alfaforni.

- The valve can be used to accelerate the heating of the oven and to maintain a
constant temperature inside the combustion chamber.
- Do not close the door completely with the valve closed, this could overheat the oven
beyond the permitted limit and cause irreparable damage to the product.
- WARNING: the surface of the valve can become very hot.
- WARNING: wear a glove when opening and closing the valve as the knob can reach
high temperatures.
- Incorrect or inappropriate use of the valve may result in damage to the oven and/or
personal injury and property. Alfa shall not be liable for damage caused by incorrect
use of the valve.
- The valve made of stainless steel 304 can change its colour when subjected to high
temperatures, this is an inherent characteristic of the material.
