The mass ow and exhaust temperature of the stove
The mass ow and exhaust temperature of the stove are shown in chapter 13;
Technical Data. These values are important to consider when assessing the
dimensions of the ue to which the stove is to be connected.
Cleaning the chimney/ue
Make sure your chimney/ue is cleaned at least once a year by a recognized
chimney sweep.
If the chimney has a chimney valve, the free opening in the chimney valve ap
must measure at least 12% of the surface.
3.3. AERATION / VENTILATION
A stove generates: - heating air
- combustion air
Heating air (convection air) is devoted to the convection of heat from the
appliance to the room. The source of heat is in the room and stays there.
Combustion air is needed to keep the combustion going by drawing in air from
the room, or directly from outside, due to the natural draught of the chimney.
• Combustion air from the living-room:
The air inlet opening; Ø125 mm, is found at the rear of the appliance. When
using the appliance, please ensure there is a sufcient supply of fresh air:
minimum 150 cm
2
(Ø125 mm) opening in the room where the re is placed.
Make sure that the ventilation supply is open; this is particularly important
with today’s airtight dwellings.
If the dwelling has mechanical ventilation that creates under pressure in the
room where the appliance is located, it is necessary to t a ue gas fan.
The type of ue gas fan is dependent on the capacity of the mechanical
ventilation system. Always consult your tter about this.
In dwellings with an operating extractor hood, this should be turned to the
lowest setting or turned off altogether.
If the extractor hood remains in use, additional ventilation must be provided in
compensation.
