3.1 Position of the stove / distance requirements
The wood burning stove must be installed in a suitable and physically possible position. You need to be sure
that the position complies with local regulations. Distance requirements will only apply if the wood burning
stove is to be placed close to flammable materials:
Distance to flammable material (see illustration below)
Behind the stove
20 cm
If the stove is positioned against a brick wall or other non-flammable material, there are no minimum distance
requirements. To facilitate cleaning and for the best use of the convection air, we recommend that you leave
a distance of approximately 5-10 cm to the wall.
If the wood burning stove is to be placed close to flammable material such as a wooden floor or carpet, it
must be placed on a non-flammable base. The floor plate should extend for at least 30 cm in front of the
wood burning stove and 15 cm on each side measured from the opening of the combustion chamber.
The wood burning stove must be installed on a floor with the adequate load-
bearing capacity. If the existing construction does not meet this requirement,
appropriate adaptation measures must be taken (e.g. a load-distributing plate).
