requirements:
They must not be used as a garage, store for combustible material or for activities with a
risk of fire.
Locating the stove in a room with an explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
They must not be in a vacuum in relation to the outside environment due to the effect of

another appliance or an extractor device.

ducts with or without extractor fan, other devices or other appliances such as: forced
ventilation systems or other heating systems using ventilation to change the air. Such
systems could cause a vacuum in the environment of installation even if installed in
