Italian term or phrase: giro fumi
I'm translating the troubleshooting section for an instruction manual for a pellet-fired stove where one of the alarms indicates "manutenzione ordinaria non eseguita correttamente: il crogiuolo non pulito o non posizionato correttamente, o il giro fumi non correttamente puliti ecc." I know that "giro fumi" can be translated as "flue gas pass" (or similar), but the reference here is to something physical that can be cleaned. Any ideas how to render the idea? Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
In pellet stoves, although "il giro dei fumi" or "giro fumi" can mean simply "the way the smoke flows", "giro fumi" can also be short for "camera giro fumi" or simply "camera fumi", i.e., "quella zona nascosta dove vengono incanalati i fumi, dovuti alla combustione, ed espulsi dalla canna fumaria."

Here is a manual in Italian, with section 9.6 being "Pulizia camera fumi": https://www.evacalor.com/profiles/evacalor/images/file/19102...

Here is the same manual in English, with section 9.6 being "Smoke chamber cleaning": https://www.evacalor.com/profiles/evacalor/images/file/20747...
