Ventilation
If the stove has been room sealed then no further ventilation is
needed and the below can be disregarded.
Houses built before 2008 do not require an air vent for this stove
unless draught proofing has reduced the air flow. A problem with air
flow can be assessed by carrying out a smoke test. Houses built from
2008 onwards will need free flowing air of at least 2750mm².

Room sealing your stove
An open chimney sucks all the warm air from your room once every
hour, every hour of the day, this is replaced by cold air creeping
around windows and doors, chilling your entire house. The Icarus 5
has been designed to be easily room sealed which means the air for
combustion is drawn directly from outside, therefore more of the heat
generated by your stove will stay in your home. It is recommended to
room seal your stove if possible but is not essential.
I5SEALKIT is for sealing through a wall behind the stove
I5ANGLEKIT is for sealing through an adjacent wall
