SECURITY NORMS FOR GAS OUTPUT AND AIR INPUT.
4.14. Gas output must be located in a ventilated area, not in closed or half-closed areas e.g. garage, corridor, air
space of the house or places where gas may concentrate.
4.15. The external parts of the stove may reach high temperatures that might burn when touching; it is
recommended to use a non flammable grid to avoid risk of burn for children and old people.
The end of the gas outlet flex should remain higher than the stove’s output. It is mandatory to install at least
two metres in length vertically to create natural current preventing smoke, odors or eventual cut of electric
supply.
The horizontal pipe must not be longer than 1 metre; greater lengths mean ash, condensation or corrosion
may build up in this area.
Faced with cut of electric supplies and unusual weather conditions (storms, strong winds) it is recommendable
to install an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) which we have available as an option. This apparatus only
feeds the exhaust vent.
4.16. Distances from doors, Windows, ventilation grids or air input to the house or building:
Drawing 7
4.17. The minimum distance from gas outlet to ground shall be minimum 65cm, depending however on the surface.
Gas may burn grass, plants, trees located near the gas outlet. In the event that the stove outlet is lower, suitable
safety measures should be taken. The outlet pipe should never be below the extractor itself.
4.18. The distance between gas outlet and public pavement shall be minimum 2.20 m. See your local regulations.
4.19. Never fix the gas outlet flex in a chimney or a flex already installed which diameter is 4 times as large as the
stove’s flex (Ø80 max. 200 cm2). When installing the stove in higher section the gas outlet must be channeled
to the top.
If the tube that was installed previously was used with another type of heating (wood, oil, etc.), you MUST
clean it thoroughly, to reduce the risk of fire in the gas vent.
4.20. Gas outlet flex cannot be installed in a share pipe such as the pipe of an extractor hood, another stove or
heating system.
4.21. If gas outlet installation is wrong, combustion air’s homogeneity might be bad which could make the wall of
the house or the building dirty, aggregate trash inside the stove and thus be the source of premature
degradation of the spare parts and gas outlet pipe.
4.22. The air input pipe should not be drained with the risk of affecting the correct operation of the stove. For this
reason, and in order to facilitate fresh air input, it is necessary to set up a ventilation grid AT NOT LESS than
50cm both horizontally and vertically from gas output, see point 4.16.
Direct air currents shall also be avoided as they might prevent a correct operation of the stove and as a
consequence, heat performance.
Ventilation of the room must meet the minimum flow required according to specific regulations and the
maximum intake air flow of the machine.
Extraction fans can cause problems when operating in the same room or in the same space as the appliance.
4.23. In any case the design of the chimney termination will impede the free diffusion in the atmosphere of
combustion products. A metallic mesh with a gap of 3x3 cm can be placed to avoid the entry of birds or
unwanted objects.
4.24. If a testing module is installed to collect combustion gas readings and samples, it must be equipped with
hermetic and self-locking sealing.
