3.0 Safety

NB! We recommend that installation be carried out by
a qualified installer, to ensure that the product delivers
maximum performance and safety.
Any modifi cations to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation
of accessories or optional extras that are not supplied by the
fi replace manufacturer. This may also be the case if parts that
are essential to the functioning and safety of the fi replace
have been disassembled or removed. In all these cases, the
manufacturer is not responsible or liable for the product and
the warranty shall become null and void.
3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
• There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fi replace. The following instructions must therefore
be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are
not too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 850 of the fi replace.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames
with water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
fl ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the fi rebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fi re service.
• Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
