4. FIRE SAFETY

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
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 (Picture 3 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
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, for example a
steel platform dimensions according to the local regulations. The platform must stick out 30 cm's sideways and
50 cm's on the front side over the loading door (Picture 3 B)
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the combustion
(ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. The stove must never be ignited when there are
gas or steam emissions (e.g. glue for linoleum, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near 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.

5. FLUE

Essential requirements for a correct operation of the appliance:
•
the internal section must be preferably circular;
•
be thermally insulated and water-proof and produced with materials suitable to resist to heat, combustion
products and possible condensates;
