FLUE CONNECTION or DUCT: duct or connection element between the unit and flue for evacuation of fumes.
DUCT technical requirements: - it must not cross rooms in which the installation of combustion units is not allowed;
- flexible metal tubes or fibre cement pipes are prohibited;
- the use of counter-sloping elements is prohibited;
- horizontal sections must have an upward slope of at least 3°;
- the length of the horizontal section must be minimal and not more than 3 m;
- there must not be more than 3 changes of direction, without the T union;
- with change of direction > 90° a max. of 2 bends can be used with length in horizontal projection not exceeding 2 m.
- the fume duct must have a constant section and allow the recovery of soot.
CHIMNEY CAP : a device placed on the top of the flue to facilitate the dispersion of fumes into the atmosphere.
CHIMNEY CAP technical requirements : it must have a section equivalent to that of the flue;
- it must have a useful section not less than double the internal section of the flue;
- it must prevent the entry of rain and foreign bodies and ensure the discharge of fumes in any
atmospheric condition;
- it must ensure an adequate dilution of fumes and be positioned outside the backflow area;
- it must be without mechanical means of suction.
The direct discharge of fumes must take place on the roof and not towards closed spaces
( even open air ).
2.5 Brazier and baffle position check
Before lighting the stove make sure the brazier is in the correct position, i.e. fitted in the special slots. Also make
sure the top smoke baffle is properly fitted. A wrongly positioned baffle can result in malfunctioning and excessive
blackening of the glass.
At every stove lighting, check the correct position of the brazier on the brazier holder.
2.6 Electrical connection
Connect one end of the power cable the wall socket.
The voltage supplied by the system must match that specified on the stove dataplate and in the technical data
section of this manual.
Plug the device power cord must be connected only AFTER the end of the installation and assembly of the device
and must remain accessible.
During stove idle periods it is advisable to remove the power cable.
- Make sure the electrical system is equipped with an earth and differential switch in accordance with the
current Regulations.
- The power cable must never touch the stove exhaust pipe.

2.8 Emergency
Suitable fire-prevention devices should be arranged for any eventuality.
In case of a fire, proceed as follows:
- Immediately disconnect the plug.
- Extinguish the fire using suitable fire-extinguishers.
- Call the fire department immediately.
- Do not use jets of waters to extinguish the fire.
3 STOVE SAFETY
3.1 Safety distance from flammable materials
To prevent the risk of fire, stove positioning must respect a minimum distance from flammable materials, according
to that given in the technical table of the manual and on the dataplate.
Pay attention to the type of floor: for delicate and flammable materials it is advisable to use plates in steel or
toughened glass as a support base (see section 2 - Transport and Installation). In case of particularly fragile objects
such as furniture, curtains or sofas, increase the stove distance considerably.
