Check for the possibility of making a pit inside the
existing fi replace (Fig. A) by removing the fi re surface.
This pit must be big enough to hold the external air
intake mechanism (Fig. A) and must be connected to
the outside by a duct with cross-sectional area of Ø
80/200 cm2 (according to model) (Fig. B).
If it is not possible to do as described above, place a
80/200 cm2 external air intake as near to Firebox® as
possible.
In this case, the mechanism is not used and the lower
Firebox fl ange must not be removed.
Proceed with the installation as described in
the previous section from point “e” onwards.
