Space and distances
It is essential to check the space where the stove will operate for an optimal operation.
-
The volume of the house or the working space mustn’t be smaller than 40m³.
-
There has to be a permanent opening of airflow to the outside of the place of the installation,
minimum 800 cm², not obstruable and protected with a permanent grill, or the stove has to be
connected to the outside by an air intake tube (as shown below), do not exceed 80 cm in length
with 2 curves maximum.
-
The air can be taken by the rooms contiguous to the room where the stove has been installed on
condition that there are air intakes,
not located in the bedroom,
bathroom or where there are
flammable materials.
-
If the stove is installed in a room with
wooden or flammable floor, you
must protect the floor by using (in
addition to the anti-vibration feet
provided) also an insulating slab,
protruding at least 20 cm on the side and 40 cm on the front.
-
In the space, where the stove is placed, it is compulsory the presence of a suitable fumes evacuation
system.
-
It is not compulsory to connect the air intake tube of the stove directly outside (see picture) but it is
recommended for a better efficiency (energy-saving). In any case, it is necessary to guarantee at
least 50 m³/h of air. Grill 800 cm².
-
The electrical system must be in accordance with the law; in particular, check the efficiency of the
earthing circuit. The supply line must be of an appropriate section to the power of the device.
-
When you place the stove in a room you must
check that the walls are not flammable and that
flammable materials such as curtains, wallpaper,
etc. have not been applied on the walls. You
must place the stove at a distance not less than
20 cm laterally and not less than 10 cm at the
back. If there is an internal flue it’s advisable to
keep a distance of 10 cm between the flue and
the wall.
-
Do not place flammable materials at a distance
less than 1 meter from the stove.
-
