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. 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 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
security 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 7).
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 65 cm and 30 cm on the rear side. Similarly, the distance to
wooden and plastic furniture on the sides should be at least 65 cm (see Picture 8).
