2.1
HOT AIR.
T OP GRILLE AIR FLOW
T his is the ST ANDARD air exit. Air enters through
the lower section, "A", and the internal fan forces
the hot air through the top section "B".
AIR FLOW T HROUGH T HE HOOD
This option is compatible with
mentioned above.
Brick hoods must include holes at the bottom and
at the top. T hese gaps can be covered by
ornam ental grilles to facilitate the flow of air. Cold
air enters through the lower section, "C" and exits
through the higher section "D" (
that your Insert Fireplace provides most of its heat
by convection ). If the ventilation holes in the hood
are not large enough, the device m ay be dam aged
if it is unable to dissipate the heat.
IMPORTANT ! T he m inimum gap recommended for
200 cm ² of free air passage through the
air input is
grille.
(The air input grilles in the hood must be
located in such a way that they cannot be
blocked).

What is the "chim ney draw"?
T he tendency hot air has to rise generates the
chim ney effect.
- Wind speed. Usually, sustained strong winds
increase chimney draw but storm y winds have a
negative effect.
- External tem perature. T he colder it is outside,
the greater the chimney effect.
- Atmospheric pressure. The chim ney effect is
usually poor on rainy, dam p or storm y days.
- Intensity of the fire. T he hotter the fire, the
stronger the chim ney effect.
- Cracks in the chimney, badly sealed or dirty
doors, air entering through pipe joints, other
devices connected to the chimney.... may have a
negative effect on chimney draw.
