Combustion air supply
Fireplace cassettes may only be installed in rooms with at least one door to
the outside or a window that can be opened or are directly or indirectly linked
to a combustion air supply in other rooms. When the cassettes are installed in
apartments or other functional units then only those rooms in the same
apartment or functional unit may be counted as being linked for combustion
air supply purposes.
