2. Placing

2.1 Prescriptions

For setting purposes and connection to the chimney, the fire protection
requirements as prescribed in the given locations, as well as standards
DIN 4705, DIN 18896, DIN 18160, EN 13384, EN 1856-2 and EN 15287 should be
complied with. For the problem-free functioning of the equipment, the chimney that
the fireplace is to be connected to has to be in perfect conditions (mainly Germany).

2.2 Place of installation

As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located,
ensure that sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and
3
external doors. Make sure that 4 m of air should be provided to each kW of rated
performance. For this fireplace, it means that the room has to be at least 20 m in
volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured by opening air
2
connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm ).

2.3 Distances

All the combustible materials, furniture or e.g. decoration materials that are in the
close environment of the fireplace should be protected from the heat.
Furnishing in the radiation area
Keep a minimal distance of 80 cm (A) between the front edge of the fireplace and
the combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials in the building.
The security distance can be reduced to 40 cm (B) if a heat shield is placed in front
of the object to be protected (see example in picture 7).
Furnishing beyond the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fireplace may not be made of combustible
materials, and they cannot be covered with such materials if the distance on the
sides is under 65 cm, and 30 cm on the rear side. Similarly, the distance to
wooden and plastic furniture on the sides should be at least 65 cm (see picture 8).
