The opening is too small for the air supply
requirements of the appliance and fi replace – the
latter must have its own air supply (contact the
fi replace's manufacturer).

INDIRECT AERATION
If the room cannot be aerated directly, an indirect ventilation system can be used in which
air is introduced from an adjacent room through an appropriately sized opening on the lower
section of the door. However, this solution is only feasible when:
• the adjacent room has an appropriate direct ventilation system such as that used for direct
ventilation;
• the adjacent room is not used as a bedroom;
• the adjacent room is not a common room of the building and is not subject to the risk of fi re
(e.g. fuel depot, garage, etc.).
The adjacent room has proper direct aeration and air can fl ow freely between the rooms.

Net additional cross-sectional size for air fl ow in cm
The adjacent room lacks suffi cient aeration
for ensuring adequate aeration in the room
containing the appliance, due to – for example
– the presence of a fi replace (see same situation
under direct aeration).
