Ventilation
For good combustion in the stove, it is necessary to provide the room in which the
stove is located with good ventilation. Poor combustion can be caused by poor
ventilation in the house. Especially in modern, airtight houses this can happen. Also
in rooms where (electric) ventilation is present, bad combustion can occur more
easily. By applying/installing the right ventilation, these problems can be prevented.
Good ventilation at the stove is compulsory.
The air inlet must have a total net surface area of 100 cm². This area must be
increased if there is an (electrical) extractor or other heating systems in the same
room (e.g. extractor hood or wood-burning stove).
It is possible to connect an external air intake on all Duroflame pellet stoves. With the
use of this external air intake the pellet stove uses outside air for combustion. The
combustion of the stove will then no longer be influenced by the room ventilation. Ask
your dealer about the possibilities.
The air inlets listed above must guarantee a minimum capacity of 50m³/hour.
The air supply may not be blocked under any circumstances.
Starting a pellet stove
4.2.1 Starting for the first time
Attention ! When using the stove for the first time, please observe the following
advice:

The curing process of the lacquers is only completed after a few fires. During
this curing process, vapours and odours may be released, which will not be
released later.

Operate the stove at medium power for the first few times so that all the
mechanical parts can settle and the varnishes can harden. This will increase
the service life of the stove.

Keep children away from the stove, the fumes released may be harmful to
their health. Adults should also be careful with these fumes and avoid
inhalation as far as possible.
