• a) 1300 mm (at the front in the radiation area)
• b) 200 mm (at the sides in the radiation area)
• c) 200 mm (rear)
7.2
Combustion air
An adequate supply of combustion air must be provided during operation. With a modern very thick
building shell it can happen that the combustion air supply is not guaranteed for balanced flue opera-
tion or that the draft behavior is impaired. In this case an adequate supply of combustion air must be
provided. Your Austroflamm specialist dealer will be happy to advise you.
TIP
Ensure that combustion air openings are not closed!
7.3
Chimney requirements
When connecting the flue pipes to the chimney, national and/or local safety regulations must be com-
plied with. Your Austroflamm stove is fitted at the factory with a flue outlet at the top (diameter 130
mm). The connection can, as described in these instructions, be rearranged to the bottom. When con-
necting with other pipe diameters the approval of your responsible chimney sweep is required. The
flue pipe connection and flue pipe transitions must be sealed accordingly. Your Austroflamm specialist
dealer knows the guidelines and will be happy to advise you. For your own safety the connection of
the flue pipe must be carried out by a technically competent person.
7.4
Floor load-bearing capacity
Before installing, verify whether the load-bearing capacity of the substructure can withstand the weight
of your Austroflamm stove.
With regards to loading capacity, for floors with underfloor heating we refer you to your structural en-
gineer responsible for statical calculations, builder, etc.
7.5
Floor condition
Austroflamm stoves can be placed directly on the floor.
The fire protection regulations for operating a wood-burning or pellet stove vary depending upon the
location and appliance. We recommend you obtain this information from your chimney sweep or the
specialist dealer in your area.
