Operating area
For proper functioning and a good temperature
distribution, the stove shoul be positioned
in a location where it is able to take in the air
necessary for combustion of the pellet (about
40 m
3
/h must be available), as laid down in
the standard governing the installation and in
accordance with local national standards.
The volume of the room must not be less than
30 m
3
.
The air must come in through permanent
openings made in walls (in proximity to the stove)
which give onto the outside, with a minimum
cross-section area of 100 cm
2
.
These openings must be made in such a way
that it is not possible for then to be obstructed
in any way. Alternatively, the air can be taken
from rooms adjacent to the one which needs
ventilating, as long as they are provided with
an air intake from the outside, and are not used
as bedrooms or bathrooms, and provided there
is no fire risk such as there is for example in
garages, woodsheds, and storerooms, with
particular reference to what is laid down in
current standards.
It is not permissible to install the
thermostove in bedrooms, bath-
rooms, or in a room where another
heating appliance is installed (fireplace,
stove etc.) which does not have its own in-
dependent air intake.
Locating the thermostove in a room with
an explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the thermo-
stove is to be installed must be strong
enough to take its weight. If walls are flam-
mable, maintain a minimum distance of 10
cm at the rear (A), of 20 cm at the side (B)
and 100 cm at the front.
If the room contains objects which are be-
lieved to be particularly delicate, such as
drapes, sofas and other furniture, their
distance from the thermostove should be
considerably increased.
It is not compulsory to connect the
air intake directly with the stove
(so that it draws air directly from
outside), but it is essential at all
events to ensure an airflow of 50 cubic
metres per hour by the use of a hole of
the dimensions given. See standard UNI
10683.
In the presence of wood floors,
install a floor protection surface in
compliance with the rules in force
in the country

Connection to the external air intake
It is essential that at least as much air must be
able to flow into the room where the thermostove
is installed as is required for proper combustion
in the appliance and for the ventilation of
the room. This can be effected by means of
permanent openings in the walls of the room to
be ventilated, which give onto the outside, or by
single or collective ventilation ducts.
For this purpose, on the external wall near
the thermostove, a hole must be made with
a minimum free cross-section of 100 cm
2
.
(equivalent to a round hole of 12 cm diameter or
a square hole 10x10 cm) protected by a grille on
the inside and the outside.
The air intake must also: communicate directly
with the room where the thermostove is installed
be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable
guard, as long as this does not reduce the area
below the minimum. Be positioned in such a
way as to be impossible to obstruct.
