These two air inlets are plugged on delivery. Only one of them must be tightly connected to
the outside air duct.
This connection is made using a 125-mm diameter flue collar supplied with the appliance,
which must be fixed to the appliance using the 4 M6 screws (10mm socket) used to fix the
plug.
The air supply duct, connected to the collar, must have the following characteristics:
- 125-mm diameter
- Maximum length of 10 m, counting 1m per bend at 90° (e.g. max. 6m and 4 bends).
It is recommended to use a smooth pipe inside, and to avoid the use of flexible spiral ducts.
The duct can be made of PVC or metal.
If a PVC duct is used, direct contact between PVC and heating element must be avoided.
It is preferable to insulate the outside air duct in all areas of the heated volume of the
dwelling to avoid condensation on the outer surfaces of the duct.
On the outside, the duct ends in an air intake grate with the following characteristics:
- Grate preventing the duct from being squeezed and which can be cleaned;
- located at min 50cm from the ground (excluding snow);
- Net clear cross-section of min 120 cm².
If the grate has 60% clear cross-section, the grate must therefore measure 200cm² (e.g.
10cm by 20cm).
[Caution] Avoid taking air in a low-pressure area!
Inside air intake
In this case, the stove in operation consumes the air in the room.
For the appliance to take in air from the room, both plugs must be left on the rear air inlets,
and the closing plate of the air box must be removed.
To remove this plate, first make sure that the motor of the air box is in its closed position. To
do so, switch off the power supply for 20 seconds, and then switch on the power supply
again. When starting, the engine is switched to the closed position (towards you).
Then open the ash pan, remove the two M5 fastening screws (8mm socket), and remove the
plate by pivoting the lower part towards you.
This plate, once removed, allows the air from the room to enter the device.

This air, which will be consumed and evacuated through the chimney, must be able to enter
the room where the appliance is installed. It is therefore necessary to ensure that there is
sufficient air supply through a door, window, or an opening created on purpose.
