Exterior Air Inlet; General Installation Instructions - Carbel KRONOS 100 Manual De Instrucciones


The installation of the pipe and cap must strictly prevent water from getting into the appliance on rainy
days. Water causes more damage to wood burners than the high combustion temperatures for which
they are prepared.
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 into 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 sufficient 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.

2.3 General installation instructions

The installation of the appliance must comply with all local regulations, including those that refer to national
and European standards.
Although the following describes an example installation to ensure good performance, it may not be ideal
for your circumstances. In any case, it is always better to have a professional do the installation. If you are
determined to do your own installation, consult a professional.
