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 (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 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). ). In case the replacement of the floor is not possible, the appliance shall
be placed on a minimum 12 cm thick slab made of stone or concrete. The platform must stick out
30 cm's sideways and 50 cm's on the front side over the loading door (Picture 2 B)
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the
combustion (ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. The stove must never be
ignited when there are gas or steam emissions (e.g. glue for linoleum, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit
flammable materials near 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.

4.1. FIRST-AID MEASURES

Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a) Close the feeding door and the ash drawer door;
b) Close the controls of combustion air;
c) Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting means (CO
d) Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS.
When the fire has been extinguished, let the flue check by an expert to find possible cracks and permeable
points.
