To guarantee combustion without problems, pellets must be kept in a dry place. Poor quality
pellets or others that do not comply with that specified previously compromises the operation
of your product and can therefore render the warranty and product liability null and void.
5.2. Room selection / operating environment
The product must be installed in a suitable place for regularly operation and routine
maintenance. The site must be:
Compliant for proper operation.
Equipped with an adequate smoke expulsion system. The product must be connected to
a chimney or an internal/external vertical duct that complies with the regulations in force.
The product must be positioned in such a way that the electrical socket is accessible.
Equipped with ventilation intake from outside.
Equipped with 230V 50 Hz power supply with an EC compliant earth system.

for Vega 24
without the protective grille. In the case of ducting, up to 3.5 linear meters, increase the
cross-section by about 5%, whereas for longer ducts, increase it by 15%. These openings
(air inlets) must be made in such a way that it is impossible for them to be obstructed in
any way. The opening must be positioned in the lower part of an outer wall, preferably
opposite to that in which the smoke evacuation duct is located.
Air can also be drawn from adjacent rooms to the one that is to be ventilated, provided
they have an external air inlet and are not used as a bedroom or bathroom or where there
is a fire hazard, such as: garages, timber storerooms, warehouses of flammable
materials, observing under all circumstances the the provisions of all the applicable
standards in force.
