AIR INTAKE
The standard installation of the wood fired ther-
mal cooker considers that the comburent air is
taken from the room where the cooker is installed
through the air intake of the cooker located inside
the boiler vain. In this case, in the room must be al-
ways ensured the recycle of fresh air, in particular
if the room is small and window and door frames
are hermetic. The correct flow of air in the room
must be ensured also in presence of other com-
bustion based devices, aspiring hoods, chimneys
and vent-holes. The air intake in the room must
have a minimum surface of 80 cm2.
On demand, Rizzoli can give specific valves which
can allow the automatic opening of the air intake
only when it is necessary for the correct working of
Picture 11 – Installation with air intake in the room and installation with external air intake connected directly
to the thermal wood fired cooker.
Picture 12 – Different connections of the air intake of the wood fired thermal cooker.
To make the connection easier we suggest to make
the external air intake on the floor in correspond-
ence with the internal part of the plinth, or on the
wall through the rear part of the thermal cooker
the wood fired cooker, in order to warrant a maxi-
mum depression of 4 Pa in the place of installation.
STP range wood fired cookers can also be con-
nected so that the comburent air comes directly
from outside. In this way, for the wood fired cook-
er it is not necessary another air intake in the room
of installation. To make this it is necessary to pre-
pare a conduct connected directly with the exter-
nal part of the house and make a direct connection
with the air intake of the cooker. The air intake of
the cooker is located inside the boiler vain. For the
connection, we suggest to use a flexible pipe and
to prepare a device for the eventual closure of the
conduct.
(see pictures 13-14). Are also possible other solu-
tions for the connection but they must be decided
together with Rizzoli.
