2- Secondary air register (Figure 1)
Under the door of the hearth (on the right) there is a secondary air register.
This valve must be opened (and therefore shifted to the right), in detail, for the combustion of wood, so
that unburnt carbon can be subject to a post-combustion, increasing the yield and assuring the cleaning
of the glass (see CHAP. 13).
It is possible to get the air directly from outside through a flexible tube (fireproof) (See Figure 2 Ref C).
3. REGULATIONS FOR INSTALLATION
Your usual local chimney sweeper has to be informed of the installation of this equipment, in order to verify
the correct connection of the same to the stack.
Before the installation perform the following checks:
•
Make sure that the floor can support the weight of the device and provide for a proper insulation in
case it is built using flammable material.
•
Make sure that in the room where it will be installed there is a proper ventilation (presence of air
intake)
•
Avoid the installation in rooms with presence of common ventilation ducts, hoods with or without
extractor, gas devices of type B, heat pumps or the presence of devices whose simultaneous
operation can cause depression in the room (Ref. Standard UNI 10683/98)
•
Make sure that the flue and the pipes to which the device will be connected are suitable for the
operation of the same.
•
Always leave at least 10cm of air pocket between the appliance and the
.
is recommended that you have your local usual chimney sweeper check both the connection to the stack
and the sufficient air inflow for the combustion in the installation room.
4. FIRE-FIGHTING SAFETY MEASURES
Nell’installazione dell’apparecchio devono venire osservate le seguenti misure di sicurezza:
a) In front of the hearth there must not be any flammable object or construction material sensitive to
heat within a distance of 80 cm;
b) Should the device be installed on a floor made of not completely refractory material, it is necessary
to foresee a fire-resistant foundation, for example a steel footboard (dimensions according to the
local regulations.) (Figure 3).
Warn children that the device becomes very hot and that it must not be touched.
The fireplace must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
