Combustion always requires air (oxygen). Stoves therefore remove air from the room they are
installed in and this must be replaced.
Bad combustion can be caused by poor air circulation in the house and this is often the case
in modern homes, which have sealed windows and doors. On the other hand, there are also
problems when there are draughts in the room (caused for example by kitchen or bathroom
ventilators). To prevent this type of problem, we suggest
a permanent ventilation grill to be
fitted in a window or near the stove. Alternatively, the air can be taken directly from the
exterior or from another sufficiently aerated room (a cellar, for example) by means of a steel
pipe with a diameter of 48 mm.
3.1 External air intake pipe assembly
a) Measure and make a hole with a minimum diameter of 5 cm. in the wall for the intake
pipe (see drawing here below).
b) Connect the stove with the exterior by means of a steel pipe.
ATTENTION!
• Only use steel pipes.
• Pipes in synthetic materials or aluminium must not be used.
•To ensure sufficient air intake, the pipe must not be longer than 2 m. and must not have
too many bends.
• If the pipe leads outdoors, it must end with a 90º downward bend and be protected
against the wind (see Fig. Here below).
