FLUES

Flues should be vertical wherever possible and
where a bend is necessary, it should not make an
angle of more than 45
flue runs should be avoided except in the case of a
back outlet connection where the length of the hori-
zontal section should not exceed 150mm.

CHIMNEY

The Aoife is a radiant room heater and must be con-
nected to a chimney of the proper size and type. The
chimney must have a diameter of at least 150mm.
Never connect to a smaller size chimney. Do not
connect to a chimney serving another appliance.
Minimum chimney height 4.5 meters from floor on
which stove is installed. The stove is supplied with a
5" flue spigot, the flue installation will require a 5" to
6" increaser which must be fitted within 1 meter of
flue outlet.
A flue that has proved to be unsatisfactory, particu-
larly with regard to down draught should not be used
for venting this appliance until it has been examined
and any faults corrected. An existing masonry chim-
ney should be inspected and if necessary repaired
by a competent mason or relined using an approved
lining system. The stove must be connected to a
chimney with a minimum continuous draught of 0.06
w.g. Poor draught conditions will result in poor per-
formance.
All register plates, restricter plates, damper etc.,
which could obstruct the flue at a future date should
be removed before connecting this appliance.
