In the event of valuable flooring or flooring that is sensitive to heat, moisture or is flammable, a floor protection must be
used (i.e. sheet steel, marble or tile slabs).
Whichever type of protection selected, it must protrude at least 300 mm from the front, at least 150 mm from the sides
of the stove, must withstand the weight of the stove and have a thickness of at least 2 mm (Fig. 6 and 7).

4.4 Minimum distances for positioning air intake vents
Pellet stove combustion air intake vents cannot be connected to an air distribution system or directly
to a wall-mounted air intake vent.
Correct and safe positioning of the air intake vent must comply with the measures and requirements described
in paragraph 1.3.
There are distances to be respected in order to avoid that combustion air be removed by another source; for
example, a window opening can suck the air outside, making it miss the stove.
The air intake vent must be located at least:
1.5 m
Under
Doors, windows, fume
exhaust outlets, air gaps,
etc.
1.5 m
Horizontally away
0.3 m
