CHIMNEY AND FLUE INFORMATION
The successful operation of the cooking appliance relies on the adequate
performance of the chimney to which it is connected. The following chimney
guidelines must be followed:
•If a flue liner is used, it should be 150mm (6’’) diameter and be made of
suitable material for burning wood. A Flue with a diameter of 150mm (6’’),
is required to connect to the cooker.
•Voids in the chimney should be avoided, as these will prevent a steady flue
draught. The appliance flue pipe should pass beyond the narrowing of the
chimney.
•The flue needs to be a minimum of 4.6m in height and terminate in
accordance with AS/NZS2918
•If the appliance is installed as a freestanding appliance, it should not
support any part of the chimney.
•Be free from cracks, severe bends, voids, and obstructions.
•Be connected to this one appliance only.
•New chimneys must be in accordance with local regulations.
•The chimney must be capped to prevent ingress of rain.
•A flue/chimney access point is required so that the state of the chimney
can be checked and any fallen soot removed.
•External flues must be insulated to prevent heat loss.
•Do not fit an extractor fan in the same room as the appliance.
Note: The chimney/flue to which this appliance is being connected must be swept
and examined for soundness prior to installation. Remedial action should be taken if
required, seeking expert advice if necessary. Where the chimney is believed to have
served an open fire installation it is possible that a higher flue gas temperature from
a closed appliance may loosen deposits that were firmly adhered, with the
consequent risk of flue blockage. It is therefore recommended that the chimney be
swept a second time within a month of regular use after installation.
