2 - INSTALLATION
EXTERNAL AIR INLET
It is mandatory to provide an adequate external air intake that supplies the combustion air required for the product to work properly. The
ow of air between the outside and the installation room may be direct, through an inlet in an external wall of the room; or indirect, via
air intake from adjoining rooms and connecting permanently with the installation room (see Figure 9 b). Adjoining areas may not include
sleeping areas, garages or general areas with a re hazard. During installation one must check the minimum clearances required for air
intake from outside. Take into account the presence of doors and windows that could interfere with the proper ow of air to the stove (see
diagram below).
The air inlet must have a minimum net total area of 80 cm2: the surface must be increased accordingly if there are other active generators
(for example: electric fan for stale air extraction, hood, other stoves, etc.), which could cause a depression in the room. Make sure that,
with all appliances on, the pressure drop between the room and the outside does not exceed 4 Pa (also for sealed appliances if the
combustion air has not been suitably ducted outside). If necessary increase the intake section of the air inlet, which must be made at oor
level and always protected with a bird-proof outer protection grid and in such a way that it cannot be obstructed by any object.
