3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
3.1 POSITIONING
Considered a mechanical draft system, there are much
different code requirements than for a gravity venting system
or grease ducts used with gas or solid fuel applications. As
a general rule, the mechancal draft system must be installed
min. 3 feet away from any forced air inlet located within
10 feet, and min. 4 feet away from anydoor or window.
For complete information, consult ENERVEX or your local
building codes.
3.2 INSTALLATION ON STEEL DUCT
• Insert the steel chimney adapter into the chimney where
the long collar engagement ensures safeanchoring (see
Fig. 2). If necessary, the adapter can be secured by means
of long self-tapping stainless steel screws into the side of
collar through the chimney wall. Do not obstruct the flow.
• Turn the fan upside-down and lay a bead of hi-temp silicon
on the base close to the outer edge (not shown).
• Remove the transport securing device (if present) holding
the motor shaft and impeller in place.
• Place the fan on the adapter with the fan inlet centered
over the chimney outlet.
• Open the fan and secure the fan onto the adapter, through
the pre-drilled holes in the bottom, with lag bolts or self-
tapping sheet metal screws, one at each corner.
• Seal around the fan base to make sure it is watertight and
no water can slip in between the fan and the adapter. Do
not block the 4 drain holes.

3.3 INSTALLATION ON ROOF CURB
If the fan is installed on a roof curb, the curb will do the same
as the adapter. Follow the instructions under 3.2.
3.4 INSTALLATION ON SIDE WALL
• Make sure the vent terminates flush with the wall. Insert
the steel chimney adapter and secure it safely to the wall.
Seal around the edges of the adapter flange.
• Mark the locations of the wall anchors and predrill holes
for them.
• Turn the fan upside-down and lay a bead of hi-temp
silicone on the base close to the outer edge (not shown).
• Open the fan and secure the fan onto the adapter with
wall anchors, through the pre drilled holes in the bottom.
Make sure the conduit is located on one of the sides.
Never on the upside or downside.
• Seal around the fan base to make sure it is watertight and
no water can slip in between the fan and the adapter. Do
not block the 4 drain holes.
3.5 HIGH TEMPERATURE APPLICATIONS
• If the fan is used for applications that exceed its
temperature rating, dilution bolts must be used.
• Install the dilution bolts in the outer holes of the fan base.
• Adjust the height of the dilution gap by adjusting the
dilution bolts, so the temperature of the exhaust going
through the fan does not exceed the fan’s temperature
rating.
• Be aware the dilution bolts will have a negative impact on
the fan’s actual capacity and a stronger fan model may
be required. For more information, please refer to the
installation manual accompanying the dilution bolts.

5. STARTUP AND CONFIGURATION
5.1 SYSTEM TESTING
• Check the line voltage with the motor nameplate rating.
• Determine if the axial vane or impeller is running free
and has not been subject to misalignment in shipping or
installation.
• Turn the grease fan ON and make sure that it is operating.
Adjust the fan speed control to make sure it is operating
properly.
DANGER
Prior to using a cooking appliance,
make sure that sufficient air needed for
proper combustion and exhausting of
gases from oil/gas-fired appliances, like
water heaters, furnaces and boilers, is
provided.
• With the fan ON, check that other heating appliances
(furnace, water heater, etc.) are operating safely without
spillage (spillage is the escape of flue gases from the relief
opening of the draft hood of an atmospheric appliance.)
On start-up, a little spillage is normal, but it must stop
after a couple of minutes.
• Spillage can be detected by introducing smoke into the
flue products ahead of the draft hood or by observing if
the flame of a match goes out when it is held at the edge
of the draft relief opening (see Fig. 5).
5.2 TESTING PIZZA OVEN OPERATION
Most pizza ovens consist of a dome with a front opening
that can be closed with a cast iron door. Above the opening,
a hood connected to the flue assures smoke and odors are
collected and removed safely (see Fig. 6).
Place a few logs in the back of the dome and set the fan at
high/full speed. Light the fire. Turn on all exhaust fans (range
hoods, etc.) and make sure that there is no spillage from the
hood into the room. When the fire has caught on, reduce the
speed of the grease fan to a point where it still removes the
flue gases safely. Mark this setting on the fan speed control
cover, as this will be the operating position/speed of the
grease fan.
5.3 ADJUSTING FAN SPEED
Start all heating appliances connected to the chimney fan
installed. Set the fan speed control to the speed where no
spillage is experienced anywhere in the system.

5.4 OPERATION OF PIZZA OVENS
!
Prior to starting a fire, set the fan at high/full speed and start
the fire following the oven manufacturer’s instructions or, in
the absence of such instructions, follow normal instructions
on burning a fire in a fireplace or stove.
After the fire catches on, after 3-5 minutes, reduce the speed
of the grease fan to a level where it safely removes the flue
gases and a perfect flame can be maintained.
When adding wood to the fire, it may be necessary to
increase the fan speed for a short period of time.
Do not over-fire the pizza oven. Small deposits
of creosote could be ignited and start a small
chimney fire which could cause the chimney
flue to reach a hazardous temperature.

6. MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
6.1 CARE AND CLEANING
The ENERVEX Grease Fan is designed for prolonged use.
The fan should be inspected at least once a year when the
chimney is inspected. Deposits should be removed from
the fan blades or the impeller and the bottom of the motor
housing. The top of the fan is hinged and can be opened in
order to ease the cleaning. See Fig. 7.
WARNING
Do not open the motor housing unless power
to the chimney fan has been disconnected.
6.2 CHIMNEY CLEANING INTERVALS
The need for chimney and chimney fan maintenance
depends on how the cooking appliance is operated.
Pizza ovens and BBQs need a great deal of chimney and
chimney fan maintenance. These appliances produce dense
smoke consisting of creosote and grease if it is loaded for
long durations or overnight fires.
6.3 CREOSOTE FORMATION AND NEED FOR
REMOVAL
When wood is burned slowly, it produces tar and other
organic vapors, which combine with expelled moisture to
form creosote. The creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool chimney flue of a slow-burning fire. As a result, creosote
residue accumulates on the flue lining. When ignited, this
creosote makes an extremely hot fire.
Creosote causes many problems. Some are visible, while
others are not.It can make trouble if:
1.) It runs down outside the pipe to damage the finish on the
metal.
2.) It drips out of joints, damaging floors or furnishings.
3.) It plugs up the chimney causing poor combustion,
smoking, soiling walls and indoor pollution.
4.) It catches fire in the chimney to cause possible chimney
damage and damage to the building.
Fig 7
12
!
!
6.4 INSPECTION SCHEDULE
The chimney and the chimney fan should be inspected
at least every 2 weeks for the first couple of months to
determine at what rate the creosote builds up. If creosote has
accumulated, it should be removed to reduce the risk of a
chimney fire.
Evaluation of chimney systems installed in
commercial restaurants serving a wood-fired
cooking appliance indicates a build-up of 1/8"
- 1/4" of creosote for every 4 cords of wood
burned. This can be used as a guideline, but
each application is different.
As a guideline, a chimney and grease fan serving a
commercial wood-fired cooking appliance should be cleaned
at least once a month, unless the use has proven this to be
more than adequate.
Most chimney manufacturers require, if you see deposits
more than 1/16" thick, clean all chimney parts mechanically.
This means using brushes, scraping or equivalent.
3001361 08.17
Don’t start a chimney fire as a means to
clean the chimney!
With only slight deposits, try a hot fire to see if the black
deposits fall down the chimney. You can hear the sound of
falling deposits when the temperature conditions are right.
Afterwards, reinspect the chimney and the inside of the oven
for deposits.
Do not use chemical cleaners, they may corrode the inside
of the chimney. They may or may not prevent or remove the
creosote. When they are used together with a hot fire, it is
probably the fire that is doing the work.
Depending on the rate of build-up, as you learn what is going
on in the chimney, you can adjust your cleaning schedule.
If you have doubts about your ability to clean
the chimney, or if the deposits are very heavy
and hard to remove, do not tryt to burn them
off. Call a professional, certified chimney
sweep. The National Chimney Sweep Guild
can refer you to the nearest certified chimney
sweep. The Guild’s phone number is
(301) 963-5600.
It does not matter how careful you are loading fuel, selecting
wood or controlling draft, you should always observe the
above precautions with any solid-fuel burning cooking
appliance.
13
3001361 08.17
6.5 CHIMNEY FIRES AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT
THEM
No chimney or chimney fan is intended or designed for use
as a combustion or fire chamber. It is very easy to overfire
a wood burning oven with kindling, scrap, lumber, brush
or any fast burning fuel. This can produce flames and high
temperatures all the way up the chimney and may cause
chimney fan damage.
The creosote may be burning inside the chimney. If you can
see flames coming out of the top, you are either over firing or
there is a chimney fire.
If the fire in your cooking appliance/chimney has gotten out of
control, or if you suspect a chimney fire for any reason, follow
these steps:
1.) Immediately close all dampers and/or air entrance
openings to the cooking appliance. This includes doors.
2.) Alert your patrons to the possible dangers.
3.) Inspect your cooking appliance and chimney
surroundings for possible fire. If in doubt, alert your fire
department.
4.) Do not continue to use your cooking appliance until
it and your grease fan have been thoroughly inspected.
Overheating can cause metal parts to expand, buckle
and crack. If you are not certain, have a certified
chimney professional disassemble all parts so they can be
inspected and replaced, if necessary.
5.) Do not use salt or water on the fire in the cooking
appliance. Salt is corrosive and water will cause a
dangerous steam explosion. You might be able to control
the fire by using ashes, sand or baking soda, since baking
soda is an ingredient used for dry chemical fire
extinguishers.
6.) After a chimney fire, when it is safe to do so, check
internal locations such as an attic and under the roof
and keep watching for two or three hours. There may be
delayed smoldering and subsequent ignition, even if the
fire inside the chimney has been controlled.
