It is important not to burn fuels that have a moisture content greater than 20 percent as eventually the vapour and moisture mixed with soot particles will damage the motor, its lifespan will be shortened and unfortunately, we cannot cover the guarantee.

It should not be fitted to an unlined chimney shaft as it will not create enough suction to overcome the lack of draught.
