To work properly, this appliance needs air:
- For wood combustion (combustion air);
- To heat the home (convection air);
- To prevent overheating of the appliance and cladding (decompression air).
To allow air to circulate properly and perform its function, air inlets and outlets must be of
sufficient size and placed in the right places.
1.1.
Combustion air.
In a wood-burning stove, combustion requires a certain amount of air. This unit is designed
to draw combustion air from outside the building [airtight installation] or from inside.
Where possible, we recommend connection of the air intake to the outside of the home, in
accordance with the instructions below.
Outside air intake (tight)
When the door is closed, the stove is airtight. When in operation, it does not consume air
from the room, but from outside the home through a duct between the outside and one of
the two air inlets of the appliance.
