Operating area
It is not permissible to install
the Hydro Insert in bedrooms,
bathrooms, or in a room where
another
installed (Hydro insert, Hydro Insert etc.)
which does not have its own independent
air intake. Locating the Hydro Insert in
a room with an explosive atmosphere is
prohibited. The floor of the room where
the Hydro Insert is to be installed must
be strong enough to take its weight.
Keep a minimum distance of 50 mm
between the covering and the fireplace
insert. If walls are flammable, maintain
a minimum distance of (A) 450 mm , rear
of (B) 300 mm, side of (C) 400 mm, front
of (D) 1000 mm and from floor of (E) 450
mm.If the room contains objects which are
believed to be particularly delicate, such
as drapes, sofas and other furniture, their
distance from the Hydro Insert should be
considerably increased. The two side walls
of the chimney insert must be accessible for
maintenance by authorized technicians.
How to place the Hydro Insert
For proper functioning and a good temperature
distribution, the Hydro Insert shoul be positioned
in a location where it is able to take in the air
necessary for combustion of the pellet (about 40
m
/h must be available), as laid down in the standard
3
governing the installation and in accordance with
local national standards.
The volume of the room must not be less than 30
m
.

The air must come in through permanent openings
made in walls (in proximity to the Hydro Insert)
which give onto the outside, with a minimum
cross-section area of 100 cm
These openings must be made in such a way that
it is not possible for then to be obstructed in any
way. Alternatively, the air can be taken from rooms
adjacent to the one which needs ventilating, as
long as they are provided with an air intake from
the outside, and are not used as bedrooms or
bathrooms, and provided there is no fire risk such
as there is for example in garages, woodsheds,
and storerooms, with particular reference to what
is laid down in current standards.

Connection to the external air intake
It is essential that at least as much air must be able
to flow into the room where the Hydro Insert is
installed as is required for proper combustion in
the appliance and for the ventilation of the room.
This can be effected by means of permanent
openings in the walls of the room to be ventilated,
which give onto the outside, or by single or
collective ventilation ducts.
For this purpose, on the external wall near the
Hydro Insert, a hole must be made with a minimum
free cross-section of 100 cm
round hole of 12 cm diameter or a square hole
10x10 cm) protected by a grille on the inside and
the outside.
The air intake must also: communicate directly
with the room where the Hydro Insert is installed
be protected by a grille, metal mesh or suitable
guard, as long as this does not reduce the area
below the minimum.
Be positioned in such a way as to be impossible to
obstruct.
