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 follow-
ing technical standards DIN 18896, DIN 4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160, EN 1856-2
and EN 15287. In order for the stove to function correctly the chimney to which you
want to connect the stove must be in good condition.
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. 8).
Furnishings outside the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fire-place shall not be made of combustible mate-
rials and they cannot be covered by such materials, unless the distance on the
sides is more than 35 cm and behind is more than 20 cm.
Similarly to the wooden and plastic furniture on the sides a distance of 35 cm shall
be kept (see drawing no. 9).
