4. FIRE SAFETY

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed: (See Picture 2)
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 (see 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
than 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). The platform must stick out 50 cm's in front and 30 cm's sideways (Picture 2 B).
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The stove must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The device must
never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapors (for example glue for linoleum, gasoline etc.). Do
not deposit flammable materials close to 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.
