Possible cause of Flue fire

Flue fires are primarily due to poor maintenance and the lack of a
rigid cleaning schedule. Most flue fires can be prevented by
implementing a regular and thorough maintenance schedule as
outlined in the Maintenance section of the Installation and
Operation Manual.
The illustration below outlines the possible cause of a flue
fire and highlights the most vulnerable area which
requires regular cleaning and maintenance.
Although all Spray Filters supplied from July 2010 are
designed to prevent the spread of fire past the
cyclonic filter, this should not be assumed to be a
fire blocking mechanism. Fire prevention by
regular maintenance and cleaning is always best
practise.
2. The fire, fuelled by a residual build up
of grease, fat and creosote, is drawn
into the Spray filter.
REGULAR DUCT MAINTENANCE IS
ESSENTIAL. WE RECOMMEND A 3
