FIRE SAFETY
In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) the minimum distance from the rear and both sides from construction and inflammable objects and
objects sensitive to heat (furniture, wooden coverings, textiles etc.), must be that indicated on the
technical data plate fixed to the product (see Picture 2 A) in order to ensure sufficient heat insulation.
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 then 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 base must stick out 50 cm’s in front and 30 cm’s sideways, considering
also the rotation field of the stove. (see Picture 2 B).
d)
no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
e) If the stove is installed on a wall made of flammable material, it is necessary to replace that part of
the wall with a non-flammable material layer, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. The
replaced part of wall must be as large as the stove is and, starting from the floor, protrude around 100
cm at least (Picture 2 C) from the top side of the stove.
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 same.
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.
