Installation
2.1 Working environment
For proper functioning and a good temperature distribution, the stove should be positioned in a location where
it is able to take in the air necessary for combustion of the pellets (about 40 m
3 /h must be available) ,as laid
down in the standard governing the installation (UNI - CIG 7129, 7131 and subsequent updates).
The volume of the room must not be less than 30 m
3 .
The air must come in through permanent openings made in walls (in proximity to the stove) which give onto
the outside, with a minimum cross-section area of 100 cm
2 .
These openings must be made in such a way that it is not possible for them to be obstructed in any way.
Alternatively, the air may be drawn from rooms next door to the room which needs ventilation, provided that
these rooms have an air intake from outdoors and are not used as bedrooms or bathrooms and provided
there is no fire risk such as there is for example in garages, woodsheds, and storerooms. The provisions of
standards UNI 7129 and 7131 and subsequent amendments absolutely must be respected.
It is not permissible to install the stove in bedrooms, bathrooms or showers, or in
a room where another heating appliance is installed (fireplace, stove etc.) which
does not have its own independent air intake.
Locating the stove in a room with an explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the stove is to be installed must be strong enough to take its
weight.
If the walls are not flammable, position the stove with a clearance to the rear of at least 10 cm.
In the case of walls made of flammable material, maintain a minimum clearance to the rear of 20
cm, a clearance to the sides of 50 cm, and a clearance to the front of 150 cm. If the room
contains objects which are believed to be particularly delicate, such as hangings, sofas and other
furniture, their distance from the stove should be considerably increased.
If the floor is made of wood, fit the floor protection plate.
