must be independent and exclusive to a single
equipment; must be completely clear and clean
before installing the stove.
The masonry chimney or other equivalent material
should preferably be circular, about 20cm in
diameter, or alternatively, it should be 20x20 cm. If
the existing duct is oversized, it must be fully
intubated. When there is a too large section, the
draft is reduced, causes rapid cooling of the fumes,
and consequently: condensation and tar formation.
If the duct is too narrow, it will prevent sufficient
evacuation of the smoke and can lead to its return
to the air inlets of the stove (and possible smoke exit
into the room).
The chimney must be smoke-tight (pay attention to
the joining of materials), impermeable to the
weather to prevent water from entering the
chimney, and resistant to mechanical shocks.
The shape of the roof outlet must promote the
escape of smoke, even in the event of wind. The
chimney must have an outlet corresponding to at
least twice the diameter of the duct. In cases of
backflow problems, where all the conditions
necessary for the chimney to work properly have
been observed, an anti-wind device must be
installed. You must make sure that the chimney
prevents the entry of rain. The chimney should be 1
meter above the highest point on the roof or
other buildings and obstacles within a radius of 8 to
10 meters. If the chimney is close to others, they
must have a difference in height of about 50 cm
between them, being arranged in the form of a
ladder. It is not allowed to install the appliance
in a shared chimney.

3.1. FUELS - FIREWOOD
Your Flamebox equipment is not an
incinerator
and
operation, you should only use dry wood with a
humidity level of less than 20%. To obtain this level
of humidity/drying, the wood must be cut and split,

stored in an airy shelter, for a minimum period of 6
to 12 months for soft wood and 12 to 24 months. for
hardwoods. It is important to mention that in
Portugal we use the term "dry firewood" to identify
non-green firewood and firewood with low humidity.
They are distinct characteristics, green firewood
comes from trees that have been cut recently and
therefore is unsuitable for burning; in turn, low-
moisture firewood is firewood from trees that have
been cut for several months (or years) and that,
after splitting, have been subjected to a natural
drying period (as described above) and kept from
the weather. It is this firewood that you should use
in your equipment, although on the market you will
hardly find firewood with a moisture content of less
than 30%. Therefore, we recommend that you
purchase the firewood a few months in advance and
allow it to dry in an airy place without being in direct
contact with the ground.
Green or damp wood produces a much higher
amount of residue in the chimney and releases
water vapor that promotes corrosion of the metal
components of the stove. Damage caused by using
green and/or damp wood is not covered by the
warranty (see Chapter 5 - Warranty).
We recommend the use of hard wood (beech, ash,
cork oak, oak, holm oak), and for lighting you may
use
soft
wood
recommended size of firewood is that shown in
Chapter 2, in the "Technical Characteristics", and
the maximum authorized size is 40 cm, 45cm and
50cm, for CUBEBOX 7 NEO, 8 NEO and 10 NEO,
respectively. The maximum diameter allowed for
firewood is 15cm.
You should not use treated, varnished, or painted
wood, or wood agglomerates, even in small
quantities, since the result of burning these is very
polluting and produces residues. The use of
resinous wood (pine) is also not recommended, but
if there is no alternative, we advise you to mix it with
hard wood.
The use or adaptation of the equipment to
burn other fuels (eg liquid firelighter, oil,
pellets, plastics or charcoal) other than firewood is
not authorized and violates the warranty conditions.
In case of chimney fire, remove the
embers from the equipment, close the air
baffle and call the fire department.
