2. PLACING
2.1 Prescriptions
When placing the fire-place and jointing the smoke tube side the fire protection requirements of the relevant
construction provisions must be taken into consideration.
For the problem-free functioning of the equipment the chimney which the fire-place uses must be in perfect
condition.
2.2 The room for placing the fire-place
Since the air which the fire-place takes comes from the room where it is located fresh supply of air must be
sufficient. Make sure that 4 m
3
volume of air falls to each KW of nominal performance.
For this specific fire-place this means that the room must be at least 32 m
3
. If the room is less than 20 m
3
then
sufficient air supply can be secured by opening more rooms together (size of the linking slots must be at least
150 cm
2
).
2.3 Distances
All combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials which are in the close environment of the
fire-place shall be protected from the heat.
Furnishings in the radiation area
Keep a minimal distance of 1m between the front cover of the fire-place and the combustible equipment,
furniture or e.g. decoration materials.
The security distance can be lowered to 40 cm if a heat shield is put in front of the object to be protected (B)
(see our example on drawing no. 8).
Furnishings outside the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fire-place shall not be made of combustible materials and they cannot be
covered by such materials, unless the distance on the sides is more than 30 cm and behind is more than 20 cm.
Similarly to the wooden and plastic furniture on the sides a distance of 30 cm shall be kept (see drawing no. 9).
