When the pipes run through the inside of the home or a brick chimney, they should be mounted as shown in
Figure 1 to prevent liquids produced by the condensation of the gases flowing through the joints and out of the
pipes. If a pipe section runs outside the building it must be mounted in the direction shown in Figure 2 to prevent
rainwater draining down the outside part of the pipe and entering the pipe interior through the joints.

2.2. Exterior air inlet
For the fireplace draught to work correctly, the room must have an outside air inlet from the house exterior to
the room, that is at least enough to replenish the volume of air that comes out of the chimney flue.
In well insulated houses an air inlet must be fitted through the outer wall and if a vent is installed, it must be
fitted in such a way that it cannot be blocked.
Warning. - In homes without the appropriate outside air inlet, extraction fans
(e.g. Kitchen extractors) can cause problematic reverse chimney draughts.
Connecting the exterior air inlet (optional)
This model has an inlet for combustion air prepared for connection to an air conduct form the exterior of the
house. (2). This guarantees a better functioning of the stove in any condition.
Warning. – When the air inlet is not connected to the exterior, the air should be taken from outside the
chimney chamber, or if not, sufficient air should be allowed to enter the chamber.
The inlet for combustion air (2) should not be shared with the inlet for convection air (6) inside the chimney
chamber. Convection air should be taken from outside the chimney chamber.
