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
must be available, as laid 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
in through permanent openings made in walls (in
proximity to the stove) which give onto the outside,
with a minimum cross-section area of 150 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 fire 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 (fireplace,
stove etc.) which does not have its own
independent air intake.
Locating the stove in a room with an
explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the stove is
to be installed must be strong enough to
take its weight. If walls are flammable,
maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm
at the rear (A), of 30 cm at the side (B)
and 150 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.
Connection to the external air intake
It is essential that at least as much air must be able
to flow 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

round hole of 15 cm diameter or a square hole

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.
• positioned in such a way as to be impossible to
obstruct.
In the presence of wood floors,
install a floor protection surface in
compliance with the rules in force
in the country
Connection to the combustion air inlet tube
The output of the combustion air must be
necessarily connected with the outside of the
dwelling.
Is necessary to connect the stove
to the outside air intake pipes
and fittings that guarantee the
tightness to meet the requirements
of the sealed stove.
