4. Safety regulations
For. seasonal. usage. and. at. bad. draught. or. weather.
conditions. it. is. necessary. to. pay. particular. attention.
when.putting.the.appliance.into.operation..After.longer.
service.interruption,.checking.for.stoppage.in.flue.ways.
is.necessary.prior.to.making.fire.
Do.not.allow.children.to.manipulate.with.the.stove..
The. stove. can. be. operated. only. by. adults. !. During.
heating,. operate. all. handles. and. knobs. using. tongs,.
a.hook,.or.a.glove.(a.potholder).–.risk.of.burn.injury!.
During.operation,.combustion.air.and.room.ventilation.
air. supply. must. be. ensured,. especially. when. another.
heating. device. is. used. at. the. same. time. (ca.. 6. m
burning.of.1.kg.of.fuel)!.If.the.windows.and.doors.are.
well. sealed,. or. if. a. exhaustion. device. (a. fume. hood.
e.g.).is.present,.the.amount.of.air.may.be.insufficient!.
Place. the. combustion,. ventilation,. and. heating. air.
regulating.grids,.if.used,.so.that.they.cannot.get.clogged..
It. is. also. advisable. to. ensure. sufficient. air. humidizing.
in.the.room.When.inserting.fuel,.close.the.door.slowly..
This.will.prevent.smoke.and.fly.ash.from.escaping.into.
the. room..The. appliance. requires. occasional. attendance.
and.supervision..It.can.be.used.in.ordinary.environment..
To. avoid. corrosion. during. product. storage. there. is. an.
enclosed. bag. with. humidity. absorber.. Remove. the. bag.
–.further.see.package.disposal.
For.stove.installation,.safety.regulations.according.to. .
must.be.complied,.namely:
4.1 Safety distances:
4.1.1 Minimum distance from combustible or heat-
sensitive objects.
These. are. furniture,. wooden. linings,. textiles,.
wallpaper,.drying.clothes,.etc..Minimum.safety.distance.
from.the.stove.is.20.cm.on.the.sides.and.at.the.back..
The. minimum. distance. is. 40. cm. for. stoves. without.
double.casing.and.surface.cladding..
No.easily.inflammable.object.can.be.placed.in.front.of.
the.stove.in.the.distance.less.than.80.cm..
4.1.2 Minimum distance between the smoke flue duct
and combustible materials.
The. minimum. distance. between. the. smoke. flue.
duct.and.doorframe.lining,.or.likewise.located.parts.of.
building. structures. made. of. combustible. materials,. or.
pipings,.is.40.cm..
This. also. applies. to. walls. and. especially. ceilings.
with.plaster.on.inflammable.base.such.as.lathing,.reed.
lathing,.etc..!.

If. these. distances. cannot. be. kept,. fire. hazard. must.
be.prevented.by.means.of.building.technical.measures,.
fireproof. claddings,. heat. resistant. insulations. and. fire-
screens.
4.1.3 Floor protection.
If. the. stove. is. not. placed. on. a. floor. that. is. 100. %.
fireproof,.it.must.be.installed.on.a.fireproof.insulating.
pad,.e.g..sheet.metal,.ceramics,.tempered.glass,.or.stone.
The.pad.must.cover.the.floor:
a). at. least. 30. cm. in. the. front,. measured. from. the.
outside.contour.of.the.stove
b). at. least. 10. cm. at. the. sides,. measured. from. the.
. for. edge.of.the.combustion.chamber.opening.
3
Objects. made. of. combustible. materials. mst. not. be.
placed.onto.the.appliance.or.in.a.distance.smaller.than.
the.safety.distance.from.the.appliance.
4.2 Measures in the event of fire in the chimney
During. normal. operation,. especially. if. damp. fuel.
is. used,. soot. and. tar. build. up. in. the. chimney.. If. the.
chimney.is.not.regularly.checked.and.cleaned,.danger.of.
fire.in.the.chimney.will.increase.
If.this.happens,.proceed.as.follows:
-. do.not,.under.any.circumstances,.extinguish.with.
water
-. close. all. air. inlets. for. combustion,. if. possible.
cover.up.the.chimney
-. contact.a.chimney.service.to.examine.the.chimney.
condition.after.the.fire
-. contact.the.manufacturer.to.check.the.appliance
If.combustible.vapours.or.gases.originate,.there.is.a.
fire.or.explosion.hazard;.the.stove.must.be.taken.out.of.
service. (put. out,. remove. ashes). and. proper. ventilation.
must.be.ensured
5. First firing
Before.and.during.the.first.firing.leave.the.stove.and.
ashpan. doors. slightly. open. (ca.. 1-2. mm). so. that. the.
sealing.material.does.not.amalgamate.with.the.varnish..
The.varnish.will.harden.as.late.as.after.a.few.hours.
of.firing.
Check. how. the. fireclay. plates. are. settled. in. the.
combustion.chamber.before.making.the.first.fire..Keep.
the.temperature.rather.low.during.the.first.firing.(feed.
the.fire.more.often.with.smaller.amounts.of.fuel).
All. materials. must. adapt. to. heat. development. and.
the.hearth.lining.will.dry.slowly..The.stove.varnish.will.
harden,.which.will.be.accompanied.by.temporary.odour;.
this.odour.will.later.entirely.disappear..This.provides.that.
no.microcracks,.varnish.damage.or.material.warping.will.
