Room ventilation
For good combustion, the appliance needs air
(oxygen). This air is supplied via adjustable air inlets
from the area in which the appliance is installed.
If ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete, which may lead toxic gases to
spread through the room.
As a rule of thumb, the air supply should be
5.5 cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:
The appliance is in a well-insulated area.
There is mechanical ventilation, for example a
central extraction system or an extraction hood in
an open kitchen.
You can provide extra ventilation by having a vent-
ilation louvre fitted on the outside wall.
Make sure that other air consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heating appliances or a bath-
room fan) have their own supply of outside air, or are
switched off when you use the appliance.
This appliance also has a connection to outside air.
We recommend that you use it where this is possible.
Floor and walls
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient bearing capacity. The weight of the appli-
ance is given in the appendix "Technical Data
appendix".
Protect flammable flooring from heat radiation
by means of a fireproof protective plate. See
the appendix "Distance from combustible
material".
Remove combustible material such as lino-
leum, carpets/rugs and similar materials
below the fireproof protective plate.
Keep sufficient distance between the appli-
ance and combustible materials such as
wooden walls and furniture.
The connecting tube also radiates heat.
Ensure that there is sufficient distance or a
shield between the connecting tube and com-
bustible material.
The rule of thumb for a single-walled tube is a
Subject to change because of technical improvements
distance of 3x the diameter. If a lining shell is
fitted around the tube, a distance of 1x the dia-
meter is permissible.
Carpets and rugs must be at least 80 cm away
from the fire.
Use a fireproof floor plate to protect a flam-
mable floor from any ash that may fall in front
of the stove. The floor plate must comply with
national standards.
For the dimensions of the fireproof protective
plate: see the appendix "Distance from com-
bustible material".
For further requirements with respect to fire
safety, see the appendix "Distance from com-
bustible material".
