Technical data

The ue’s diameter should be the same throughout its whole length. Wider, or especially

narrower segments will disrupt the smoke ow and are best avoided. The same is true

for a cover plate or exhaust hood on top of the chimney. The exhaust hood must not nar

row the chimney’s outlet and should be designed in a way that wind will not hinder, but

promote the smoke ow.

Especially if the ue runs through unheated rooms or outside the house, further insula-

tion is necessary. Metal chimneys, or parts of the chimney outside heated rooms should

always have double-walled, insulated ues. The part of the chimney outside the roof

should always be insulated.

The chimney should be high enough (at least four metres) and should end in a zone that is

clear of nearby buildings, trees or other obstacles. The rule of thumb here is: 60 cm above

the ridge of the roof. If the distance between the ridge and the chimney measures more

than three metres, see the dimensions stipulated in the illustration below. Depending on

the presence of nearby buildings or trees, the chimney should be higher.

Ventilation

The burning of wood, charcoal or gas involves oxygen consumption. It is of the utmost impor-

tance that the room in which the stove is installed should be sufciently ventilated.

Insufcient ventilation may disrupt the combustion process and cause the smoke ow through

the chimney to be interrupted, which may lead to smoke emissions into the room.

If necessary, you can install a ventilation grille to provide a constant ow of fresh air in the

room. This precaution is particularly necessary in well-insulated rooms with mechanical ven

tilation.

Ensure not to use other air-consuming appliances, such as heaters, cooking hoods, bathroom

ventilators, in the same room or in the house while the stove is burning; or make sure to have

an extra ventilation grille installed for these appliances.

If your appliance is provided with a connection kit (available as an option) for supplying the

combustion air from outside the room, you do not need to provide your appliance with any

extra air intake.

Ensure that there is sufcient ventilation in the area from which you draw the air.
