1.3 External air intake vent (Non-hermetic installation)
•
The stove must have the air necessary to ensure smooth combustion operation and good
environmental well-being.
•
Make sure that the room where the stove is installed offers sufficient ventilation and install an air
supply duct from the outside with the recommended minimum section of 15 in².
•
The air intake vent must communicate directly with the installation room of the stove, positioned
so as to prevent it from being blocked and protected with a permanent non-lockable grid or other
suitable protection provided that it does not reduce the minimum section.
•
Air flow can also be obtained from a room adjacent to the installation room, provided that this flow
can be carried out freely through permanent, non-closable openings communicating with the
outside.
•
With respect to the installation room, the adjacent room should not be put under vacuum with
respect to the external environment as a result of a reverse draft caused by the presence in this
space of another utility device or suction device. The room adjacent to the permanent openings
must meet the requirements set out in the paragraphs above. The adjacent room cannot be used
as a garage, for storage of combustible material or for activities involving a risk of fire.
1.4 External air intake vent (Hermetic installation)
In the case of a hermetic installation, the traditional external air intake is not required (see previous
paragraph) and the combustion air must be conveyed directly from outside the house
1.5 Connection to the chimney flue
(see paragraph 4.5)
1.6 Preventing house fires
Installation and use of the stove must be in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and
with local habitability regulations.
CAUTION: when a fume exhaust pipe passes through a wall or ceiling, particular installation
methods must be applied (protection, thermal insulation, distances from heat sensitive materials,
etc.).
•
The fireplace connecting tube must never pass through a combustible surface.
•
Do not connect this unit to a chimney flue already being used by another device.
•
It is also advisable to maintain all combustible elements or flammable material such as beams,
wooden furniture, curtains, flammable liquids, etc. outside the radiation area of the furnace and
at a distance of at least 3 feet from the heating block.
•
In the event that the surrounding space has coverings in combustible or heat-sensitive material,
a protective membrane made of non-combustible insulating material must be interposed. If the
flooring is made of combustible material, a non-combustible protective material must be provided
at the mouth of the furnace.
•
For further information, refer to local requirements.
