SAFETY
5. Safety
The ash drawer is to be kept closed at all
times to prevent the tiled stove beco-
ming overheated.
Never use
methylated spirits; petrol or other
flammable fluids to light the stove.
As with all heating equipment, it is advi-
sable to fit a
guard for small children
so that they cannot touch the hot stove.
Children
should never be left unat-
tended near the burning stove.
5.1 Safe distances
With flammable materials (eg. wood
panelling, plastic cladding and curtains)
the safe distance to the side and behind
the stove is at least 20 cm. Flammable
floor materials (eg. carpet, wood or pla-
stic flooring) must be protected to the
front and side with a non-flammable
covering (eg. tiles, marble or steel plate)
(see Fig. 1).
According to DIN 18891 the follo-
wing safe distances are valid when
using a covering for the floor:
A = min. 50 cm
B = min. 30 cm
C = with flammable materials at least
20 cm

als are to be left within a distance of
80 cm in the radiation zone (see Fig. 2).
