IMPORTANT: It is important to take into consideration the fact that the heatable volume is greatly influenced by the insulation of the house (energy class of the building)  and by the position of the appliance in the planimetry of the house, therefore the indicated values may vary, even significantly.
ATTENTION: The indicated values were obtained using beechwood logs (2 logs) with thermal value less than 15,429 kJ/kg and moisture content less than 15%. The use  of poorer quality firewood than that specified results in lower yield and lower efficiency, and produces more ash. Moreover the glass on the feed door will become dirtier  sooner.
*** It is strictly prohibited to load a greater quantity of fuel than that specified in the table. The warranty will not cover damages caused by the prolonged exposure of the appliance to temperatures that are too high.

DIMENSIONS

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

3.1 THE FUEL
The fuel for this appliance is ordinary wood billets with a moisture content between 10% and 20% and with a thermal value of 10,400 to 16,400 kJ/kg. We recommend using  beech or common hornbeam. If using wood with a lower moisture content or with a higher thermal value the heat produced by the stove will be greater.
The awareness and use of the right fuel are important aspects to be observed in order to ensure correct operation and long service life of the appliance. To this end we  recommend using only dry, well-seasoned wood. We recommend against using wet wood or wood that has been seasoned for less than 18/20 months, as this could be the  cause of malfunctions and the formation of tarry deposits that could permanently blacken the walls of the combustion chamber.
We recommend using logs of max 330 mm long (max recommended section Ø 80 mm) and loading a maximum of 2-3 logs.

MAXIMUM PERMITTED FUEL FEED:
– 1.7 kg KLARETTA EVO and VIOLETTA EVO.
– 2.4 Kg KLARA EVO, VIOLA EVO, MARGOT EVO and MARGHERITA EVO.
THE FUEL FEED INTERVALS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 1 HR.

LOADING A LARGER QUANTITY OF FUEL OR LOADING SEVERAL TIMES IN AN HOUR EXPOSES THE COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE TO  VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS REASON, THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF  THE APPLIANCE TO THESE TEMPERATURES.

The use of fuel that does not comply with the above specifications or the use of different substances or fuels will immediately void the appliance warranty. The appliance  must not be used as an incinerator, and it is prohibited to use any liquid or gas fuel. Do not overload the stove with excessive quantities of fuel; adhere strictly to the maximum declared consumption.

It is strictly prohibited to use the under-oven compartment or the tool storage compartment for storing combustible or flammable material. The temperature inside can reach very high levels.

It is used to regulate the primary air inflow. The primary air passes through the grate of the firebox and fuels the combustion to determine its power and speed. Rotate the  control counterclockwise to reduce the air flow. On the contrary, rotate the control clockwise to increase the air flow.
ATTENTION: When the appliance is operating the temperature of the primary air control is very high, so take care not to touch it. The glove provided must be worn when handling it.

It is used to regulate the secondary air inflow. As the secondary air passes through the holes in the back wall of the combustion chamber, it preheats and contributes to the  second combustion as well as having the function of keeping the glass clean. Shift one of the two levers to the left to reduce the air flow. Whereas to increase the inflow air  shift it to the right.
ATTENTION: The temperature of the secondary air levers is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch them. The glove provided must be worn  when handling them.

B – Starter
This device creates a direct bypass for the flue gases which facilitates both the lighting and refuelling operations. The glove provided must be worn when activating it and only when lighting or stoking the fire.

IT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED TO LEAVE THE STARTER OPEN DURING NORMAL OPERATION.
Leaving the starter open during normal operation results in higher fuel consumption than the declared quantity, a considerable drop in efficiency and exposure of the  appliance to extremely high temperatures. For this reason the warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damages caused by prolonged exposure of the appliance to these temperatures. ATTENTION: The temperature of the starter is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch it. The glove provided must be worn when handling it.
Turning the starter towards the word START activates the direct bypass for the flue gases, whereas turning it towards the word WORK activates the normal flue gas path.

INSTALLATION

4.1 APPLIANCE LOCATION
**** Follow the general guidelines set out in paragraph 1.1 to the letter. Be aware that the flooring of the installation site must be capable of withstanding the weight of the appliance. If this requirement is not met, it is obligatory to adopt counter measures (for example, load distribution plate …)

ATTENTION: The room where the appliance is installed must be well-ventilated and free from humidity and salty air. A high level of humidity or saltiness in the room can  lead to the onset of rust or corrosion which will not be covered by warranty. The appliance must be positioned at a minimum safe distance from walls and furnishings. If  inflammable materials are located in the vicinity of the appliance (e.g.: matchboarding, furniture, curtains, pictures and paintings, sofas) it is mandatory to comply with the  minimum distances illustrated on the side.

If the flooring is made of wood or any other combustible material, it is mandatory to install a fireproof floor protector plate between the appliance and the floor. Installation  in the vicinity of heat-sensitive materials is only permitted if suitable insulating and fireproof protection is placed between the object and the appliance (ref. Uni 10683).  Failure to observe this instruction will immediately invalidate the warranty.

The installer must issue a certificate of conformity for the installation which includes the design plans and the following documents:
a) Report containing the type of materials utilised.
b) Project as defined in Article 5 of Ministerial Decree n° 37 22 January 2008.
d) References to existing partial or previous declarations of conformity (e.g., flue outlet).
e) Copy of the certificate of recognition of the professional technical qualifications.

These documents must, by law, be kept together with the installation, use and maintenance manual. The customer is responsible for verifying, directly or indirectly, that the  installation has been carried out to perfection in accordance with relevant regulations in force. Do not install the appliance in unsuitable rooms such as bedrooms, bathrooms, garages and/or lock-ups. It is forbidden to place the appliance in environments with an explosive atmosphere.

ATTENTION, the appliance is not simply a household appliance: if the instructions set out in this manual are not followed and/or if installation of the appliance is not  executed perfectly and/or the provisions in force are not strictly complied with, dangerous conditions could arise for both objects and persons. It is the user’s responsibility to verify the presence, in the room, of a vent necessary for supplying oxygen to the appliance. It is strictly prohibited to install the appliance as inset or next to furniture.

UNPACKING THE APPLIANCE

The appliance is supplied packaged on a pallet; always use trolleys to move the appliance and the appliance must always be in a vertical position. Before positioning and  installing it dismantle the appliance from the pallet as described:
– Remove the cover and side panels from the pallet.
– Remove the feet fasteners.
– Remove the appliance from the pallet with the aid of a trolley. Slip the bottom of the trolley under the back part of the appliance and tip the trolley back onto its wheels.  Given the weight of the appliance we recommend that this operation be carried out by two people. Take care when lifting the appliance as the centre of gravity of the weight is concentrated at the front.
– Check that all the mobile parts are in place; remove the labels and stickers from the glass.

REMOVE PROTECTIVE FILM FROM THE COOKTOP.

IMPORTANT: HANDLE THE APPLIANCE WITH CARE AS DAMAGE CAUSED DURING THE UNPACKING OPERATION WILL NOT BE COVERED BY THE WARRANTY.

ASSEMBLING THE COMPONENTS

5.1 MOUNTING THE FRONT HANDRAIL
To mount the front handrail proceed as follows:

  1. Fix the two supports (AO) to the handrail (AN) using the 2 screws (AK), see Figure 1.
  2. Insert the handrail complete with supports under the cooktop frame as shown in Figure 2.
  3. Tighten the 2 nuts (AP) onto screws (AQ) as shown in Figure 3.
  4. Insert the screws with nuts (AQ) into the handrail complete with supports and tighten until the handrail is firmly secured to the appliance. See Figure 4.

5.2 MOUNTING THE SIDE RAIL (OPTIONAL)
To mount the side handrail, follow the same procedures described in the paragraph: 5.1 MOUNTING THE FRONT HANDRAIL.

5.3 MOUNTING THE SMOKE OUTLET COLLAR
A smoke outlet collar is supplied with the product. The smoke outlet collar can be fixed to the back of the appliance for a rear smoke outlet, otherwise it can be fixed to the top of the appliance for a vertical smoke outlet.

REAR SMOKE OUTLET:
If opting for the rear smoke outlet then you must remove the pre-cut flange indicated in the figure on the side.
Remove the cover (AG) by undoing the screws (AE) and fix the collar (AD) with the screws (AE). Then close the top smoke outlet with the cover (AG) removed from the  back and secure with the screws (AE). There must be no narrowing of the pipes that connect the appliance to the flue outlet. The joints must be completely airtight.

TOP SMOKE OUTLET:
If opting for the top smoke outlet fix the collar (AD) with the screws (AE). There must be no narrowing of the pipes that connect the appliance to the flue outlet. The joints  must be completely airtight.

5.4 CASINGS
The appliance is supplied with pre-mounted casings.
The VIOLETTA EVO, VIOLA EVO and MARGHERITA EVO models have majolica casings:

ATTENTION: The majolica tiles are handcrafted so they could contain subtle surface imperfections, crazing or shade variations. The layer of glaze has an expansion factor  that is different to that of the majolica tiles which is what causes the hairline cracks. This phenomenon is a natural process and is not a defect. We recommend cleaning the majolica tiles with a dry microfibre cloth. Using moist or wet cleaning cloths would show up the natural crazing even more; use only dry, non-abrasive cloths and when the appliance is cold.
The KLARETTA EVO, KLARA EVO and MARGOT EVO models have metal and cast iron casings:
ATTENTION: We recommend cleaning the metal and cast iron only with a dry or slightly moist microfibre cloth. Use only non-abrasive cloths on a cold appliance.

USE OF THE APPLIANCE

The appliance, when operating, is hot to the touch, particularly the door of the combustion chamber: consequently, take care not to touch any surface. Your appliance has  obtained the CE marking. The product must not be used by children, by persons with physical or mental impairments, by persons who are not familiar with the instructions  for use and maintenance of the product (the instructions are found in this installation, use and maintenance manual). During the heating and cooling stages, the appliance is  exposed to considerable thermal expansions that can cause light expansion sounds. This is a normal process and is not a defect of the product.

ATTENTION: the door must always remain shut tight when the appliance is operating. While the appliance is in operation the smoke exhaust pipes can reach extremely  high temperatures: do not touch them! It is strictly forbidden to use any type of liquid or gaseous fuel to light the appliance. Do not place non-heat resistant or inflammable  or combustible objects in the vicinity of the appliance: keep them at a suitable distance. Do not place wet clothing to dry on the appliance. When using a clothes horse, keep  at a suitable distance. During the first lighting the paint on the product and the protective oil on the cooktop may give off a slight smell as they complete their drying. This is  quite normal. It is recommended to ventilate the room until the paint has completely dried.

6.1 LIGHTING
To startup the stove proceed as follows:

  1. Turn the starter towards the word Start (see paragraph 3.2).

  2. Rotate the primary air control clockwise as far as it will go (see Figure 1).

  3. Move the secondary air levers all the way to the right (see Figure 1).
    ATTENTION: BEFORE LIGHTING THE APPLIANCE MAKE SURE THAT THE GRATE IN THE FIREBOX IS CLEAN, THAT IS THAT THERE IS NO ASH OR COMBUSTION RESIDUES.

  4. Open the firebox door, place some kindling in the firebox and light it with paper or any other tinder available on the market, then close the firebox door (figure 2).
    IT IS PROHIBITED TO USE ANY LIQUIDS OR GASES SUCH AS ALCOHOL, PETROL ETC. TO LIGHT OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.

  5. Do not leave the appliance unsupervised while the lighting process is still in progress (roughly 30 minutes to complete the process) or whenever there are abundant burning embers present.

  6. Once the lighting sequence is completed close the starter using the supplied glove by rotating it towards the word WORK.

ATTENTION: THE DOOR OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND OF THE ASH PAN MUST ONLY BE OPENED FOR THE LIGHTING OPERATIONS,  FOR STOKING AND FOR REMOVING RESIDUAL MATERIAL. DURING NORMAL OPERATION THE FIREBOX DOOR MUST REMAIN FIRMLY CLOSED AND THE STARTER MUST BE
Leaving the starter open during normal operation results in higher fuel consumption than the declared quantity, a considerable drop in efficiency and exposure of the  appliance to extremely high temperatures. For this reason the warranty does not cover any direct or indirect damages caused by prolonged exposure of the appliance to these temperatures. ATTENTION: The temperature of the starter is very hot while the appliance is operating, so take care not to touch it. The glove provided must be worn when handling it.
ATTENTION: IT IS NORMAL FOR THE COOKTOP, AFTER THE FIRST LIGHTING, TO ACQUIRE AND RETAIN A BLUISH AND/OR YELLOWISH HUE.

6.2 REFUELLING
The stove is an intermittent combustion appliance so it requires refuelling. Once combustion is achieved inside the combustion chamber and consequently there are embers  present, proceed with the first fuel feed:

  1. Rotate the starter towards the word Start.

  2. Wait a few seconds and open the firebox door slowly to minimise the risk of smoke escaping and use the riddling tool to spread the embers.
    N.B. It is prohibited to light or reload the fuel with a bed of embers higher than 3 cm as this does not guarantee correct use of the appliance.

  3. Take two logs, each of which must not exceed the weight specified in the technical data table, and lay them parallel in the centre of the grate in the combustion chamber,  as illustrated in the figures below.

  4.  Slowly close the door of the firebox, close the starter using the supplied glove by rotating it towards the word WORK.

  5. Rotate the primary air control almost all the way to the end and move the secondary air levers all the way to the left.

To rekindle the fire clear the ash from the air passage slots to promote better combustion. Do not add additional fuel until the previous load has burnt or is reduced to  embers, then open the firebox door slowly and place the logs in an orderly manner on the bed of embers. Complete the operation by slowly closing the door and return the  air control and levers to the positions described above.

6.3 PANEPIZZA® DEVICE
(ONLY ON MARGOT EVO and MARGHERITA EVO)
On the Margot Evo and Margherita Evo models, when you want to bake foods that require high temperatures, such as bread or pizza, simply shift the smoke deviator flap to  the right to raise the temperature in the top oven. In this case the majority of the heat generated by the appliance is directed to the top oven, and the amount of heat in the  bottom oven is limited. On the other hand when you want to heat both ovens simply shift the Panepizza® device to the left.

6.4 THERMOMETERS
The KLARETTA EVO, VIOLETTA EVO, KLARA EVO and VIOLA EVO models are supplied with a thermometer on the glass oven door, whereas the MARGOT EVO and MARGHERITA EVO models are supplied with two thermometers each.

THE THERMOMETER GIVES AN APPROXIMATE, NOT PERFECTLY RELIABLE, READING OF THE OVEN TEMPERATURE. THE OVEN  TEMPERATURE IS STRICTLY RELATED TO THE QUALITY OF THE FUEL, THE FLUE OUTLET DRAUGHT AND OTHER FACTORS, AND MAY  EXPERIENCE SUDDEN VARIATIONS. THEREFORE ALWAYS VISUALLY CHECK THE FOOD FOR DONENESS.

6.5 PRESCRIPTIONS FOR CORRECT OPERATION
– Respect the maximum declared consumption, do not over- load the stove with excessive quantities of fuel as this could cause damage.

MAXIMUM PERMITTED FUEL FEED:
– 2.2 kg KLARETTA EVO and VIOLETTA EVO.
– 3 Kg KLARA EVO, VIOLA EVO, MARGOT EVO and MARGHERITA EVO.
THE FUEL FEED INTERVALS MUST NOT BE LESS THAN 1 HR.

LOADING A LARGER QUANTITY OF FUEL OR LOADING SEVERAL TIMES IN AN HOUR EXPOSES THE COMPONENTS OF THE APPLIANCE TO  VERY HIGH TEMPERATURES. FOR THIS REASON, THE WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY PROLONGED EXPOSURE OF  THE APPLIANCE TO THESE TEMPERATURES.

DO NOT THROW THE WOOD INTO THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, PLACE IT IN GENTLY. THROWING THE WOOD COULD END UP BREAKING  PARTS. DAMAGE CAUSED IN THIS WAY IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

– The appliance must not be used as an incinerator, the use of liquid or gaseous fuels is prohibited.
– Adhere strictly to the operating instructions set out in this manual.
– Always verify that the fuel loaded into the combustion chamber lights correctly. Make sure that this always occurs to avoid any buildup of combustible gases. The buildup of a high quantity of combustible gases could exceed the mechanical resistance of the glass and other components of the stove. For these reasons, the manufacturer disclaims all  responsibility.
– In adverse weather conditions, such as for example low pressure, windy or rainy days or days with high outside temperatures, the effect could be a drop in draught or reverse draught. In these situations, the flue gases may not be completely exhausted.
Consequently, in these cases it is necessary to increase the primary air and load the smallest amount of fuel in order to reactivate the draught of the flue outlet. If you notice  the smell of smoke in the room or stagnation of gases inside the combustion chamber avoid using the appliance.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

7.1 FOREWORD
To guarantee correct operation and optimal performance of the appliance at all times carry out the operations described below. Observe the recommended frequency.
If the product is unused for a prolonged period of time before starting up it is mandatory to inspect the smoke channel and outlet to ensure that there are no obstructions. It  is important to carefully follow the instructions set out below:
failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the appliance.
Attention: do not wet or touch the appliance with wet hands. Never vacuum hot ash: this could damage the vacuum device. All the cleaning operations described in this manual must be carried out when the appliance is cold.
The user must periodically clean the appliance, or have an authorised service centre clean it, as described in this manual.
Moreover, once a year it is advisable to have an inspection carried out of the functionality of the flue outlet.

7.2 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
EVERY TIME YOU REFUEL:
– Agitate the riddling lever back and forth several times so that the ash drops through the slots in the grate. If necessary, thoroughly clean the grate of the combustion  chamber by de-ashing the grate through the slots. The air passage through the firebox grate must always be kept free from obstructions. Use the supplied riddling tool for this operation.

EVERY TWO DAYS or WHENEVER NECESSARY:
• Empty the ash pan. We recommend emptying the ash pan regularly before it fills up completely.

EVERY WEEK:
– Use an ash vacuum device to clean the combustion chamber.
EVERY 6 MONTHS:
– Lift and remove the cooktop to clean the flue path with a flue brush and ash vacuum device. To remove the cooktop, you must:

  1. Remove the Starter by pulling it upwards.
  2. Remove all the rings from the cooktop with the riddling tool.
  3. Lift the cooktop and vacuum the flue path thoroughly.

EVERY 6 MONTHS:
– Vacuum the under-oven compartment. To clean the under-oven compartment, you must:
FOR THE KLARETTA EVO, VIOLETTA EVO, KLARA EVO AND VIOLA EVO MODELS:

  1. Undo the two screws indicated in the figure using a Phillips screwdriver.
  2. Remove the oven bottom and clean thoroughly.

FOR THE MARGOT EVO AND MARGHERITA EVO MODELS:

  1. Remove the upper soapstone shelf and clean thoroughly.
  2. Remove the lower soapstone shelf and clean thoroughly.

AT LEAST ONCE A YEAR:
– Clean the flue outlet. If there are any horizontal sections, inspect them and clean out any ash and soot deposits before they block the passage of the flue gases.

7.3 CLEANING THE COOKTOP AND GLASS ELEMENTS
Clean the cooktop with normal, mild detergents. After cleaning protect the plate by applying a thin layer of oil to it to keep it clean and shiny. Alternatively, apply a thin layer  of protective chrome paste readily available at hardware stores. Take care when applying the oil to avoid indelibly soiling the side edges. If any rust appears remove with a  slightly abrasive scourer then apply a thin layer of protective oil or chrome paste.
The glass and all the steel parts must only be cleaned when the appliance is cool, with water and mild detergents.

SMOKE EXHAUST TUBE

8.1 FOREWORD
**** Due to the frequent accidents caused by poor functioning of flue outlets installed in private dwellings, we have prepared the following paragraph to assist the installer in his  inspection of the parts concerned with eliminating the gases produced by combustion.

The exhaust pipe must be installed in compliance with regulations UNI7129, UNI 10683, and with the stated reference values. In particular, the outlet must comply with fire  prevention regulations.
It is important to carefully follow the instructions set out below: failure to observe these instructions could cause serious damage to the product, to the system, to objects and to persons using the appliance.

8.2 ROOM VENTILATION
ATTENTION: The presence of extraction fans or similar appliances, if operating in the same room or space in which the product is installed, could cause problems for the correct operation of the product.
ATTENTION: do not obstruct the vents or the air inlets on the appliance.

The room where the appliance is installed must have a good air flow to guarantee air for the appliance for the combustion process and for ventilation of the room. The  natural air flow must take place directly through permanent openings on the outer walls or through single or multiple ventilation ducting.
The ventilation air intake must be located away from pollution sources.
The openings in the walls must comply with the following conditions:

  • have an unobstructed section of at least 6cm² for each Kw of installed thermal power, with a minimum limit of 100cm²;
  • be made in such a way that the vent openings, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;
  • be protected with grills or similar systems that do not reduce the opening section indicated above;
  • be situated at a height near floor level and they must not obstruct the correct operation of the combustion product discharge devices; if this position is not possible the section of the ventilation openings must be enlarged by at least 50%.

The following chapter is not intended to replace UNI 7129, UNI 10683 and EN12815 standards. The qualified installer must in any case be fully aware of this standard and its amending versions.

8.3 SMOKE OUTLET
**** The smoke channel, the exhaust pipe, chimney and flue outlet (defined as the system for the evacuation of combustion products), are parts of the heating system and they  must comply with the legislative requirements of the Ministerial Decree D.M. 37/08 (ex Italian Law 46/90) and to the applicable specific installation regulations, according to  the type of fuel. Fireplaces, stoves and barbecues must not be installed in locations where gas appliances type A and type B are present and operating (for the classification see UNI 10642 and UNI 7129). The connection between the appliance and the flue outlet must only receive exhaust from one heat generator.
The installer must provide one or more access points on the flue outlet to check the emissions once the appliance has been installed; these access points must be made in  such a way as to be air-tight sealable to prevent exhaust gas leaks.
It is recommended to provide insulation and to ensure the optimal sizing of the flue outlet in order to avoid the possible risk of condensation forming in the flue outlet.

8.3.1 CHIMNEY TYPES
The following types of chimneys, constructed as described, are possible:

  • System: chimney installed using a combination of compatible components (flue liner, insulation, outer casing, etc…), manufactured or specified by a single manufacturer  and EC certified in accordance with the applicable standard;
  • Composite chimney: chimney installed and built on site using a combination of compatible components such as flue liner (wall in direct contact with the flue gases),  possibly also insulation and outer casing (wall) that may be supplied by different manufacturers or by the same manufacturer.
  • Relining: operation involving the installation of a specific pipe in an existing shaft (even if newly constructed) made of noncombustible materials, free from obstructions and for single use.

Every chimney must have minimum number of components as laid down by standard UNI EN 1443 which are also indicated in the figure on the side.

ATTENTION: Wall outlets, that is outlets installed on the outer front wall without the use of a chimney/flue outlet /flue pipe to convey the combustion products to the roof, are strictly prohibited.

8.3.3 CONTROLS PRIOR TO INSTALLING THE APPLIANCE
The user must possess a certificate of conformance for the flue outlet (Ministerial Decree 22 January 2008, no. 37).
The flue outlet must be built in compliance with UNI 10683.
The smoke exhaust illustrated in the figure on the side is the best solution required to ensure that the flue gases are discharged. If you prefer to exhaust the smoke from the  roof insert a union tee with inspection cap, connecting brackets suitable for the height of the flue outlet, flashing that crosses the roof and chimney cap to protect against bad  weather conditions.
If you decide to use the classic masonry exhaust provide a union tee with inspection cap and suitable supporting brackets. If the flue outlet is too big it is necessary to insert a  stainless steel or porcelain-coated steel tube with suitable diameter.
Seal area where the inlet and outlet part of the smoke exhaust meets the wall. It is strictly forbidden to apply mesh to the end of the outlet tube, as it could cause the appliance to malfunction.
If the smoke tube is installed in a fixed position, it is advisable to provide inspection openings for clean-out purposes especially in the horizontal sections.
See the diagram. These openings are essential to allow for the removal of ash and unburned products which tend to accumulate along the discharge path. Seal the fittings with red silicone (resistant to 350°C).
The outer casing of the tube must be made with insulating material (mineral wool, ceramic fiber) or use pre-insulated tubing.

THE FLUE OUTLET MUST BE USED ONLY FOR THE APPLIANCE.
It must be possible to inspect and remove all the smoke tube sections for clean-out purposes.
ATTENTION: if the flue outlet is not sufficiently insulated and /or if it is too long it could generate condensation. It is advisable to provide a condensation drain near the  smoke outlet of the appliance. The appliance must always and only be installed in a single flue outlet system dedicated exclusively to the appliance.
If the generator is connected to a non-compliant flue system the appliance could rapidly deteriorate due to an abnormal, continuous overheating: in this case the damaged parts will not be covered by warranty.
IF THE CHIMNEY CATCHES FIRE CLOSE THE PRIMARY AND SECONDARY AIR LEVERS IMMEDIATELY AND CALL THE FIRE BRIGADE.
