Combustion air intakes and pipes must not be obstructed or closed unless special
safety devices are fitted to ensure that the stove can only be operated when the
closing system is open. The cross-section must
not
be narrowed by a fastening or a
grille. This measure is not necessary with air/exhaust chimneys. If the combustion air
pipe has to be routed out of the building, a shut-off device must be fitted. The position
of the shut-off device must be identifiable from outside. In the case of an external
connection the pipe should be insulated, as condensate may form. Also, when fitting
the pipe it should be ensured that no water or other substances can enter the stove
and that any condensate can drain away outside.
According to the relevant provisions, combustion air lines that bridge firewalls in
buildings with more than two full storeys must be constructed such that
fire and smoke cannot spread to other storeys or fire lobbies. Country-specific and
local fire safety regulations must be observed!
Special instructions for the ambiente a1 and a2
With a combustion air connection with SQC (Spartherm Quick Coupling), the stove is
to be connected as follows.
The stove installation site must be fitted with a supply channel / bore as per the
technical instructions. When mounted directly on the wall, the combustion air and
flue gas connection must be level. The stove is supplied with the mounted SQC and
turned out feet. In this state, the nozzle is in the air and not in contact with the floor.
As such, the stove can be transported with the usual aids (e.g., hand truck).
