External combustion air source
In conventional designed homes, natural ventilation is enough
to operate the wood stove efficiently.
In Novoclimat homes, stoves might not work properly. When
some appliances are in motion, such as tumble dryer, kitchen
hood or bathroom fan, the smoke might come in the house
because of the depressurization which they would cause. In
this case, you must install a combustion air intake system.
If there is no air intake system, we recommend you to open
slightly a window of the room where the stove is situated in
order to avoid a negative air pressure when an appliance
mentioned above is working.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS APPLIANCE IN MOBILE
HOME.
A mobile home on a foundation is considered as a
conventional house.
Air Inlet Obstruction
If the stove extinguishes after closing the door, it’s possible that
the air inlet is obstructed by something.
After a long unused period, insects or animals can build a nest
inside the air inlet. In winter, snow can accumulate over the air
inlet and obstruct it especially after a storm.
Before warming season, always inspect air inlet pipe to make
sure nothing obstructs the outside air inlet.
