Safety Distances

Within a radius of 120 cm in front of and 50 cm around the
stove, fl ammable, combustible, or heat-sensitive materials
(e.g. furniture, wood or plastic panelling, curtains, etc.) are not
allowed to be located in the heat radiating area of the fi re box
window (Fig. 1).
With regard to fl ammable materials beyond the heat radiating
area, a safety distance of 20 cm at the sides of the stove and
20 cm behind the stove has to be adhered to (Fig. 1).
WARNING!
Flammable fl ooring materials (e.g., wood,
laminate, carpeting,) must be protected with a
fl oorplate made of non-combustible material
(e.g., tiles, safety glass, slate, or sheet steel).
The size of the fl oorplate must be larger than
the base of the stove by at least 50 cm in front
and at least 17 cm at the sides of the stove
(Fig. 2).

Installation

Check to make sure that the load-bearing capacity of the
installation surface is suffi cient. If necessary, using a fl oorplate
to distribute the load can increase the load bearing capacity.
Check whether the room in which the Como will be installed
is adequately supplied with enough fresh air. If the windows
and doors are tightly sealed, the necessary supply of fresh
air may not be ensured, which can interfere with the draught
capability of the stove and chimney.
If additional combustion air inlet openings are required, they
are not permitted to be closed or blocked.

CAUTION!
Simultaneous operation of the stove with
ventilation systems and/or exhaust hoods can
cause negative pressure to build up in the
room where the stove is installed, which can
lead to problems such as fl ue gas escaping
from the stove.
NOTE!
To ensure that air is not drawn out of the room
where the stove is installed, we recommend
using a window contact switch to lock exhaust
hoods that guide the air to the outside.
