Chimney fire may occur upon the improper cleaning of the chimney, the use of inap-
propriate fuels (e.g. excessively wet wood) or the inadequate setting of the burning air.
In such cases, close the burning air at the fire, and call the fire service.
Never try to extinguish the fire with water!
2. Placing
2.1 Prescriptions
For installation and for connection of flue, the requirements of the Fire Regulations
(FeuVO in Germany) apply, as well as local building regulations such as the following
technical standards DIN 18896, DIN 4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160, EN 1856-2 and EN
15287. Have the device installed only by a qualified specialist.
In order for your device to work properly, the chimney in which you want to see the
device must be in perfect working order and in perfect working order. Can withstand
loads of up to 400° C.
2.2 Place of installation
The stove draws the air required for burning from the surrounding room. You must
ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in through non-sealed windows and outside
doors. In addition you must ensure that a room volume/heat capacity ratio of at least
4 m³ per kW nominal heat capacity is available. If the volume is less than this, then air
vents can be used to provide access to further air supply in other rooms (connecting
vents min. 150 cm²).
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 80 cm (A) 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. 2).
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 23 cm, and backside is more than 18 cm.
