2.3. OPERATING AREA
For proper functioning and a good temperature distribution, the stove
should be positioned in a location where it is able to take in the air
necessary for combustion of the pellets (about 40 m
3
/h must be
available), as laid down in the standard governing the installation and
in accordance with local national standards.
The volume of the room must not be less than 30 m
3.
The air must come in through permanent openings made in walls (in
proximity to the stove) which give onto the outside, with a minimum
cross-section area of 100 cm
2
. These openings must be made in such a
way that it is not possible for them to be obstructed in any way.
Alternatively, the air can be taken from rooms adjacent to the one
which needs ventilating, as long as they are provided with an air intake
from the outside, and are not used as bedrooms or bathrooms, and
provided there is no fire risk such as there is for example in garages,
woodsheds, and storerooms, with particular reference to what is laid
down in current standards.
It is not permissible to install the stove in bedrooms,
bathrooms, or in a room where another heating
appliance is installed (fireplace, stove etc.) which
does not have its own independent air intake.
Locating the stove in a room with an explosive
atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the stove is to be
installed must be strong enough to take its weight.
2.3.1. Safe distances
If the room contains objects which are believed to be particularly
delicate, such as drapes, sofas and other furniture, their distance from
the stove should be considerably increased.
If the floor is wooden, we recommend the use of a
floor guard in compliance with the applicable
standards in force in the country of installation.
