2. Placing
2.1 Prescriptions
For setting purposes and connection to the chimney, the fire protection require-
ments
as
prescribed
in
the
given
locations,
as
well
as
standards
DIN 4705, DIN 18896, DIN 18160, EN 13384, EN 1856-2 and EN 15287 should
be complied with. For the problem-free functioning of the equipment, the chimney
that the fireplace is to be connected to has to be in perfect conditions (mainly
Germany).
2.2 Place of installation
As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located,
ensure that sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and external
3
doors. Make sure that 4 m
of air should be provided to each kW of rated perform-
ance. For this fireplace, it means that the room has to be at least 20 m in volume. If
the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured by opening air connections to
2
other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm
).
2.3 Distances
All the combustible materials, furniture or e.g. decoration materials that are in the
close environment of the fireplace should be protected from the heat.
Furnishing in the radiation area
Keep a minimal distance of 80 cm (A) between the front edge of the fireplace and the
combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials in the building. The se-
curity distance can be reduced to 40 cm (B) if a heat shield is placed in front of the
object to be protected (see example in Picture 8).
Furnishing beyond the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fireplace may not be made of combustible materials,
and they cannot be covered with such materials if the distance on the sides is under
30 cm, or 20 cm on the rear side. Similarly, the distance to wooden and plastic furni-
ture on the sides should be at least 30 cm (see Picture 9).
