AIR INTAKE
The standard installation of the wood fired cooker
considers that the comburent air is taken from the
room where the cooker is installed through the air
intake of the cooker located in the plinth. In this
case, in the room must be always ensured the re-
cycle of fresh air, in particular if the room is small
and window and door frames are hermetic.
The correct flow of air in the room must be en-
sured also in presence of other combustion based
devices, aspiring hoods, chimneys and vent-holes.
The air intake in the room must have a minimum
surface of 80 cm2. On demand, Rizzoli can give
specific valves which can allow the automatic
opening of the air intake only when it is necessary
for the correct working of the wood fired cooker,
in order to warrant a maximum depression of 4 Pa
in the place of installation.
The wood fired cookers can also be connected so
that the comburent air comes directly from out-
side. In this way, for the wood fired cooker it is not
necessary another air intake in the room of instal-
lation.
To make this it is necessary to prepare a conduct
connected directly with the external part of the
house and make a direct connection with the air
intake of the cooker. The air intake of the cooker is
located inside the woodbox in correspondence of
the combustion chamber. For the connection, we
suggest to use a flexible pipe.
Picture 12 - Installation with air intake in the room of installation and installation with air intake directly con-
nected to the wood fired cooker.
To make the connection easier we suggest to make
the external air intake on the floor in correspond-
ence with the internal part of the plinth, or on the
wall through the rear part of the cooker according
to specifies depending on the model (see table 4
and picture 14). Are also possible other solutions
for the connection but they must be decided to-
gether with Rizzoli.
