4.2.4 Distance of fume exhaust system from flammable walls
4.3 Flooring protection
In the event of flooring that is sensitive to heat or flammable, a floor protection must be used (e.g., sheet
steel, marble or tile slabs).
Whichever type of protection selected, it must protrude at least 300 mm from the front, at least 150 mm
from the sides of the stove, must withstand the weight of the stove and have a thickness of at least 2 mm
(Fig. 5 and 6).

4.4 Minimum distances for positioning air intake vents (Non-hermetic
installation)
Pellet stove combustion air intake vents cannot be connected to an air distribution system or
directly to a wall-mounted air intake vent.
Correct and safe positioning of the air intake vent must comply with the measures and requirements
described in paragraph 1.3.
There are distances to be respected in order to avoid that combustion air be removed by another
source; for example, a window opening can suck the air outside, making it miss the stove.
