to use room air, you don't need to make any
modification
to
the
standard. If you use an external air intake for the
combustion, the connection to the appliance can be
made through one of both sockets: underneath the
machine or on the rear. The connection has a
diameter
of
80mm,
connector is supplied with the equipment. In this
case, you must use the front air inlet sealing piece
(Fig. 1) and apply it to the air inlet regulator (Fig. 2).

sealing piece, supplied
with the equipment.
If the installation place does not allow direct
admission of air from the outside to the appliance,
the room must be equipped with an outside air inlet
grille that has a minimum area of 50 cm2 (Ø 80mm),
in an unobstructed area. If the house has VMC
(controlled mechanical ventilation), the air inlet grille
must be at least 90 cm2 (Ø 110mm).
If it is installed in a room where there is other
burning equipment, an additional air intake must be
considered to ensure the proper functioning of both
equipment.
It is not recommended to install this equipment in a
bedroom or bathroom, as well as in a food
preparation
area
extractor/hood.
2.2. CHIMNEY AND SMOKE PIPE
Before the installation of your appliance,
the future need for cleaning the duct and
maintenance must be considered. It is essential
that the existing chimney or the one to be installed
complies with the regulations and thus guarantees
the proper functioning of the appliance.
Direct connection of the stove's smoke outlet to a
duct made of aluminium, fibre cement or other
unsuitable material is prohibited. We recommend
the use of stainless steel or double-walled stainless-
steel duct that is thick enough to guarantee good
resistance to temperature and corrosion. The duct,
along its entire length up to the chimney, must be at

comes
combustible materials along its entire length or, if
this is not possible, it must be properly insulated.
The duct cannot have deviations of more than 45 º
in relation to the vertical, and each curve requires
an increase of 50 cm in length.
The chimney length must be adequate to
guarantee a minimum draft of 12 Pa.
The smoke duct must maintain the same diameter
from the stove outlet to the chimney top, and its
weight must not be supported by the stove. The duct
must be independent and exclusive to a single
equipment; must be completely clear and clean
before installing the stove.
The masonry chimney or other equivalent material
should preferably be circular, about 20cm in
diameter, or alternatively, it should be 20x20 cm. If
the existing duct is oversized, it must be fully
intubated. When there is a too large section, the
draft is reduced, causes rapid cooling of the fumes,
and consequently: condensation and tar formation.
If the duct is too narrow, it will prevent sufficient
evacuation of the smoke and can lead to its return
to the air inlets of the stove (and possible smoke exit
into the room).
The chimney must be smoke-tight (pay attention to
the joining of materials), impermeable to the
weather to prevent water from entering the
chimney, and resistant to mechanical shocks.
The shape of the roof outlet must promote the
escape of smoke, even in the event of wind. The
chimney must have an outlet corresponding to at
least twice the diameter of the duct. In cases of
backflow problems, where all the conditions
necessary for the chimney to work properly have
been observed, an anti-wind device must be
installed. You must make sure that the chimney
prevents the entry of rain.
The chimney should be 1 meter above the highest
point on the roof or other buildings and obstacles
within a radius of 8 to 10 meters. If the chimney is
close to others, they must have a difference in
height of about 50 cm between them, being
arranged in the form of a ladder.
It is not allowed to install the appliance in a
shared chimney.
