Operating Area; Connection To The External Air Intake - Kalor Cloe 17B User Manual

Operating area

For proper functioning and a good temperature distribution,
the Hydro Insert shoul be positioned in a location where it
is able to take in the air necessary for combustion of the
pellet (about 40 m /h must be available), as laid down in
3
the standard governing the installation and in accordance
with local national standards.
The volume of the room must not be less than 30 m
The air must come in through permanent openings made
in walls (in proximity to the Hydro Insert) 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 then to be obstructed in any way. Alternatively,
the air can be taken from rooms adjacent to the one which
needs ventilating, as long as they are provided with an air
intake from the outside, 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,
with particular reference to what is laid down in current
standards.
It is not permissible to install
the Hydro Insert in bedrooms,
bathrooms, or in a room where
another heating appliance is installed
(Hydro insert, Hydro Insert etc.) which does
not have its own independent air intake.
Locating the Hydro Insert in a room with an
explosive atmosphere is prohibited.
The floor of the room where the Hydro Insert
is to be installed must be strong enough
to take its weight. If walls are flammable,
maintain a minimum distance of 10 cm at
the rear (A), of 40 cm at the side (B) and 150
cm at the front.
If the room contains objects which are
believed to be particularly delicate, such
as drapes, sofas and other furniture, their
distance from the Hydro Insert should be
considerably increased.
In the presence of wood floors, install a
floor protection surface in compliance
with the rules in force in the country

Connection to the external air intake

It is essential that at least as much air must be able to
flow into the room where the Hydro Insert is installed as
is required for proper combustion in the appliance and for
the ventilation of the room.
This can be effected by means of permanent openings in
the walls of the room to be ventilated, which give onto the
outside, or by single or collective ventilation ducts.
For this purpose, on the external wall near the Hydro
Insert, a hole must be made with a minimum free cross-
section of 100 cm
diameter or a square hole 10x10 cm) protected by a grille
on the inside and the outside.
The air intake must also: communicate directly with the
room where the Hydro Insert is installed be protected by a
grille, metal mesh or suitable guard, as long as this does
not reduce the area below the minimum.
Be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to
obstruct.
