Please note: All safety regulations must be
complied with strictly.
Please read carefully the instructions supplied
with the appliance for installation, use and
maintenance before using the appliance.
The appliance must be installed in accordance
with the legislation and requirements applic-
able in your country.
All local regulations and the regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed when installing the appliance.
The appliance should preferably be installed by
an authorised installer. Installers will be aware
of the applicable regulations and requirements.
The appliance is designed for heating pur-
poses. All surfaces, including the glass and
connecting tube, can become very hot (over
100°C)! When operating, use a so-called "cold
hand" or an oven glove.
Make sure there is sufficient protection if
young children, disabled persons or old people
are in the vicinity of the appliance.
Safety distances from flammable materials
must be strictly adhered to.
Do not place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
other combustible materials on or near the appli-

In the event of a chimney fire: close all the
appliance's air inlets and alert the fire service.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before the stove

requirements" for more information on vent-
ilation.
Installation
requirements

General

The appliance must be connected tightly to a well-
functioning chimney.
For the connection measurements: see the
appendix "Technical data".
Ask the fire brigade and/or your insurance com-
pany about any specific requirements and reg-
ulations.

Chimney (flue)

The flue or chimney is needed for:
Removal of combustion gases via natural draught.
As the warm air in the flue or chimney is lighter
than the outside air, it rises.
Air intake, needed for the combustion of fuel in the
appliance.
A poorly-functioning flue or chimney can cause smoke
to escape into the room when the door is opened.
Damage caused by smoke emissions into the room is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not connect multiple appliances (such as a
boiler for central heating) to the same flue,
unless local or national regulations allow this.
In the event of two connections ensure that the
difference in height between the connections is
no less than 200 mm.
Ask your installer for advice regarding the flue. Refer
to the European norm EN13384 for a correct cal-
culations for the flue.
The flue must satisfy the following requirements:
The flue or chimney must be made of fire-resistant
material, preferably ceramics or stainless steel.
