3.3 OPERATING AREA

For proper functioning, the appliance should be positioned in a
location where it is able to take in the air necessary for combustion of
the pellets (about 40 m3/h must be available), as laid down in the
standard governing the installation and in accordance with local
national standards. All louvres on the external casing of the boiler
must be un-obstructed at all times as these allow air for comubustion
and for cooling to enter the appliance enclosure. Heavy snowfall can
also obstruct the air in-take louvres and cause the appliance to not
burn clean. Smoke emanating from the flue is a symptom of this.
Snow must be cleared from around the appliance at the earliest
opportunity.

Where the appliance is to be installed indoors it is not
permissible to install the appliance where another
heating appliance is installed (fireplace, stove etc.)
which does not have its own independent air intake.
Locating the appliance in a room with an explosive
atmosphere, e.g workshop or tool shed, is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the appliance is to be
installed must be strong enough to take its weight.

If the walls are not flammable, position the appliance with a clearance
to the rear of at least 45 cm.
For flammable walls, keep a minimum distance of 45 cm at the rear,
30 cm on the sides and 150 cm at the front.

If the flooring is made of wood, provide a floor
protection

surface

in

compliance

with

current

national standards.
