The stove must NOT be installed into a chimney that serves any other appliance
and is suitable for intermittent burning.
There must be a suitable air supply into the room where the stove is installed and
care should be taken so it is not possible to block the front or back air inlets to
the stove.

cause fumes to be emitted into the room.

recommended spare parts.
