Installation requirements
Ventilation of the area
For good combustion, the appliance needs air
(oxygen). That air is supplied via adjustable air inlets
from the area where the appliance is installed.
The combustion will be incomplete in case of
insufficient ventilation, which results in toxic
gases being produced and spread through the
area.
As a rule of thumb, the air supply should be
5.5 cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:
The appliance is in an area that is well insulated.
There is mechanical ventilation, for example a
central extraction system or an extraction hood in
an open kitchen.
You can provide extra ventilation by having a
ventilation louvre installed in the outside wall.
Make sure that other air consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heating appliances or a bath
room fan) have their own supply of outside air, or are
switched off when you use the appliance.
You can also connect the appliance to a supply
of outside air. For this purpose, a connecting
kit has been included. Extra ventilation is not
needed in that case.
Floor and walls
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient load bearing capacity. For the appliance
weight: see the appendix "Technical Data".
Protect a flammable floor from heat radiation
by means of a fireproof protective plate. See
the appendix "Distance from combustible
material".
Keep enough distance between the appliance
and combustible materials such as wooden
walls and furniture.
The connecting tube radiates heat too. Ensure
that there is sufficient distance or a shield
between the connecting tube and combustible
material.
The rule of thumb for a single-walled tube is a
distance of 3x the diameter. If a lining shell is
fitted around the tube, a distance of 1x the
diameter is permissible.
Carpets and rugs must be at least 80 cm away
from the fire.
Protect a flammable floor from possible falling
ash in front of the fire with the aid of a fireproof
protective plate. The protective plate must
comply with national standards.
For further requirements with respect to fire
safety, see the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".
