Superior MICAELA Installation, Use And Maintenance Instructions page 29

1.3 External air intake
The stove must be able to rely on the supply of air necessary to guarantee correct combustion and a safe
environment.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation in the room in which the stove is installed; the recommended
minimum cross section of the air intake is 100cm².
The air intake must communicate directly with the room in which the stove is installed and should be protected
by a grille or some similar device, provided that the minimum cross section is not reduced.
The required inflow of air can also be obtained from a room adjacent to that of the appliance as long such
airflow can enter freely through permanent openings connected with the outside of the building.
The room adjacent to the appliance must not have a lower pressure than that of the external environment as the
result of a contrary draught created by another heating or ventilation appliance in that room. The permanent
openings in the adjacent room must comply with the requirements listed previously. The adjacent room cannot
be used as a garage, or a store for combustible materials, nor for any activity which carries a fire risk.
1.4 Connection to the smoke stack
(See section 4)
1.5 Fire prevention in the home
The installation and use of the stove must conform to the manufacturer's instructions and to the local building
regulations.
WARNING: when a discharge flue passes through a wall or ceiling, special installation methods must be used
(protection, heat insulation, distances from heat sensitive materials, etc...)
The outlet flue from the fire must never pass through a combustible surface.
Do not connect this product to a smoke duct which is already used by another appliance.
It is also recommended that any item of combustible or inflammable material such as wood trusses, furniture,
curtains, inflammable liquids, etc...should be kept out of the immediate area of the fire and at least 1m. from the
body of the stove.
In cases where there are coverings in combustible or heat sensitive materials in the space around the stove a
protective shield of insulating and non-combustible material must be placed in between. If the flooring is made
of combustible material, protection in the form of incombustible material must be provided at the location of the
stove door, extending 30cm to the sides and 60 cm. to the front.
For further information refer to the regulation.
1.6 Ceramic cladding
Be very careful when handling the ceramic parts.
Check that the floor where the product will be installed is perfectly flat.
You will find some packing material made of adhesive glass fibre supplied with the product to be used to adjust
any differences in level.
Assembly of the cladding must be carried out by at least two people.
NOTE: The stove cladding is made of semi-refractory majolica (which should not be confused with other materials
such as porcelain). Hairline cracks and small spots or air bubbles are a characteristic of such hand-made majolica
and therefore should not be considered as defects. They do not have the slightest affect on the longevity of the
product.
