5. TIPS, CHIMNEY SWEEPING AND SECURITY REGULATIONS
-
Periodically the chimney conduct and hood should be swept, and the device itself together with the
connections should be cleaned. All should be maintained clean and in a good state, as creosote build-up
in the chimney could cause fires.
-
Keeping the chimney conduct clean is of vital importance. The chimney should be cleaned periodically,
depending on the frequency of use and the type and humidity of the fuel used.
-
The maintenance of the appliance and the sweeping of the chimney should be done by a qualified
professional.
-
After a prolonged period of not using the device, the chimney should be checked to make sure it is not
blocked.
-
In case of chimney fire, immediately close the air inlets and use an extinguisher or call the fire
department.
-
The stove will become very hot when you light it. Don't touch the stove without protection during firing
and for two hours after.
-
Warn children of the danger of burns.
-
Children or the infirm are not allowed to use the stove.
-
Do not modify the appliance without authorisation and use only original spare parts.
-
There should be adequate supply of air to the space where the stove is installed, both for combustion and
convection air. The air grates should never be blocked.
-
Don't smother the fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out, consuming the wood load.
-
The appliance must be installed on floors with sufficient bearing capacity.
-
Remove cooled ashes from the stove when the fire is out. Using an ash bucket is recommended as there
may be burning embers in the ashes.
-
Observe the minimum safety distances from nearby combustible materials:
60
-
Do not use flammable liquids for lighting, maintain them far from the chimney.
-
Flammable materials cannot be used in the installation: not touching the stove, nor in the interior of the
chimney chamber.
-
On days with adverse draught conditions (very low atmospheric pressure, heavy frosts), or when the flue
is very cold, or in chimneys with a poor draught, you can help the draught to start before lighting the fire
by heating the flue:
1. Prepare the wood for lighting inside the wood burner.
2. Place a firelighter or a sheet of newspaper on the deflector at the start of the flue and set fire to it.
3. After a few seconds, when the chimney draught starts, light the wood as instructed.
