5 PREPARING THE
INSTALLATION SITE
5�1 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
There are several factors that make combustion more
efficient in terms of thermal performance and low
emission of polluting substances (carbon monoxide
CO-). Some factors depend on the appliance in which
combustion takes place, while others depend on the
environmental characteristics, the installation and the
degree of maintenance carried out on the appliance.
Among the important factors are:

• combustion air,

• characteristics of the combustion products evacuation
system (Connection),
• fuel quality (moisture and size).
In the following paragraphs there are guidelines to be
observed for maximum performance of the purchased
product.
Provide access to allow and cleaning of the appliance, the
connection duct, and the smoke duct (or, if applicable,
the coaxial smoke exhaust and air supply system).
5�2 LOCATION OF THE STOVE
Attached are the minimum distances in centimetres
(fig.  5.1) to be observed when installing the stove in
relation to partitions and flammable objects. In the case
of non-flammable partitions / objects, these dimensions
can be halved. Protect from heat radiation and the risk of
fire all structures that could catch fire if exposed to too
much heat. Wood or flammable floors must be protected
by a large fire base under the stove. This base can be, for
example, steel, slate, tempered glass, or stone, it must
cover the surface of the floor under the stove and the
flue pipe connection, and it must protrude in front of 50
cm. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any
change in the characteristics of the material constituting
the floor under the appliance. Any wooden elements
(beams) or flammable material located near the stove
must be protected with fireproof material. The stove must
be installed at least 150 cm from partitions or flammable
objects.
Provide technical space available for all maintenance�
Make sure to respect the minimum distances between
all flammable materials and the stove as well as the pipes
smoke evacuation. Please comply with DTU. Among
other things the pipes must bear the marking CE. For
wood fuel must be marked G xx (G indicates that the
connection resists the chimney fire and xx is the minimum
safety distance in millimetres) (fig. 5.2).

5�3 COMBUSTION AIR
The stove during operation takes a lot of air (even modest)
in the environment where it is found, this air should
be restored through an air intake outside the room
(fig� 5�3 - PA = Air outlet)�
If the rear wall of the stove is an exterior wall, drill a hole
for the combustion air inlet to a guard at the soil about
20-30 cm. It is necessary to place outside a permanent
ventilation grille. In windy areas and exposed, a protective
hat must be provided. Make sure the air inlet is positioned
so not to be accidentally blocked. (Stacking of
materials on the outside against the grid). If it is not
possible to make an air duct direct in the wall, you can
take the air in the underground on the condition of
channelling this air from the outside so as not to not
pollute the ambient air. You can also take air directly into
the crawlspace if it is ventilated. The section of the crawl
