6. FIRE SAFETY

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or
furnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and
from materials with flammable structure (see Picture 2 A ). All the minimum safety distances are
shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used .
b) In front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material, sensitive to
heat, at less than 100 cm's of distance. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm's if you will install in
front of the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
c) If the product is installed on a non-totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background. The
floors made of inflammable material , such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be replaced by a
layer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. (dimensions according
to the local regulations). The platform must stick out 50 cm's in front and 30 cm's sideways (Picture 2
B )
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The stove must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The device
must never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapors (for example glue for linoleum,
gasoline etc.). Do not deposit flammable materials close to the stove.
During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplace
glass, the handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact of
these parts without gloves or the relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove .
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a
chimney fire.
