REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLACE OF INSTALLATION
Positioning
The initial phase for best stove installation is to determine its optimal location; the following elements need to
be considered:
− The possibility of including an external air vent;
− The possibility of creating a straight flue, preferably coaxial to the stove outlet;
− The possibility of connecting the stove to a power socket;
− Ease of access for cleaning the stove, the flue gas exhaust pipes and the flue.
The stove must be installed on a floor with suitable load-bearing capacity. If the existing building does not
fulfil this requirement, appropriate measures (e.g. load distribution plate) must be taken.
Once the best location for installing the device has been determined, position the stove according to the
indications provided below.
The minimum safety distance from flammable materials must be at least 200 mm from the sides and
back of the stove.
Spaces around and above the stove
The figure below indicates the minimum measurements to be observed when positioning the stove in relation
to the walls.
REAR WALL
10 cm
50 cm
50 cm
Any shelves or false ceilings mounted above the stove must be at least 80 cm away from the latter's upper
part.
External air vent
During operation, the stove takes in air from the environment in which it is installed; It is therefore essential
that this air is replaced through an external air vent.
If the wall behind the stove is on the outside, make a 15 cm diameter hole 20 cm from the ground (see Fig.
A).
Furniture and movable objects must be positioned at least 20 cm from the stove's side walls; these objects
must be moved when performing maintenance on the stove.
It is forbidden to hang shelves or build false ceilings above the stove less than 50 cm above the stove itself.
Protect all structures that can catch fire from heat radiation.
The hole must be protected externally with a fixed grid. Periodically check that the grid is not obstructed
by leaves or similar, as this may block the passage of air.
If it is not possible to include an air vent in the wall behind the stove, make a hole in a perimeter wall in the
room where the stove is installed.
