Cleaning

The stove, flue outlets and smoke pipes should be cleaned and inspected for deposits every year – if necessary more
often, e.g. after the cleaning of the chimney. The chimney also has to be cleaned regularly by the chimneysweeper. Your
chimneysweeper will inform you of the necessary inspection intervals. An expert should inspect the stove annually.

SPECIAL FEATURES SLIM 2.0


Operation with external air supply


The German institute for constructional engineering (DIBT) has given the Slim 2.0 the general technical approval for
operation with external air supply. If the combustion air is being supplied directly to the furnace by an air-tight pipe
including closing mechanism from the outside, then the stove may be used in residential property with mechanical
ventilation.

If the stove in being used like that, a multiple stove installation on the same chimney is forbidden.

This stove has been approved by the German DIBT
