Operating area
For proper functioning and a good temperature
distribution, the stove shoul be positioned in a location
where it is able to take in the air necessary for combustion
of the pellet (about 40 m
down in the standard governing the installation and in
accordance with local national standards. The volume of
the room must not be less than 30 m
The air must come in through permanent openings made
in walls (in proximity to the stove) which give onto the
outside, with a minimum cross-section area of 100 cm
These openings must be made in such a way that it is not
possible for then to be obstructed in any way.
Alternatively, the air can be taken from rooms adjacent
to the one which needs ventilating, as long as they are
provided with an air intake from the outside, and are not
used as bedrooms or bathrooms, and provided there
is no fi re risk such as there is for example in garages,
woodsheds, and storerooms, with particular reference to
what is laid down in current standards.
It is not permissible to install the stove in
bedrooms, bathrooms, or in a room where
another heating appliance is installed
(fi replace, stove etc.) which does not have its own
independent air intake.
Locating the stove in a room with an explosive
atmosphere is prohibited.
The fl oor of the room where the stove is to be
installed must be strong enough to take its weight. If
walls are fl ammable, maintain a minimum distance
of 10 cm at the rear (A), of 30 cm at the side (B) and
100 cm at the front.
If the room contains objects which are believed to
be particularly delicate, such as drapes, sofas and
other furniture, their distance from the stove should
be considerably increased. The two side walls of
the stove must be accessible for maintenance by
authorized technicians.
Connection to the external air intake
It is essential that at least as much air must be able to fl ow
into the room where the stove is installed as is required for
proper combustion in the appliance and for the ventilation
of the room.
This can be effected by means of permanent openings in
the walls of the room to be ventilated, which give onto the
outside, or by single or collective ventilation ducts.
For this purpose, on the external wall near the stove, a
hole must be made with a minimum free cross-section of
100 cm
. (equivalent to a round hole of 12 cm diameter or

a square hole 10x10 cm) protected by a grille on the inside
and the outside.
The air intake must also:
•
communicate directly with the room where the stove
is installed
•
be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable guard,
as long as this does not reduce the area below the
minimum
•
be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to
obstruct
It is not compulsory to connect the air
intake directly with the stove (so that it
draws air directly from outside), but it is
essential at all events to ensure an airfl ow of 40
cubic metres per hour by the use of a hole of the
dimensions given. See standard UNI 10683.
