2. Placing
2.1 Prescriptions
When setting up and connecting the exhaust gases, the applicable national and
European standards, local and building regulations/norms (e.g. DIN 18896, DIN
4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160, EN 1856-2, EN 15287, etc.) as well as fire -Police
regulations (e.g. FeuVo) must be observed. Only have the device set up and con-
nected by a qualified specialist. For your device to function correctly, the chimney
to which you want to connect the device must be in perfect condition and able to
withstand temperatures of at least 400°C (T400).
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).
A new building, on the other hand, is designed to be much denser according to the
current energy saving regulation EnEV. This means that without mechanical and
additional window ventilation, much less or no air can flow in and the air require-
ment must be increased. In a comfortable and healthy living space, one assumes
an air change of 0.5 per hour. This means that the entire air volume in the building
should be renewed every 2 hours through window ventilation or controlled living
room ventilation. Therefore, the calculation of 4m²/h is multiplied by factor 2 = 8
m³/h per kW (due to the 0.5x air change/h).
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 6).
Furnishing beyond the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fireplace may not be made of combustible materi-
als, 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 furniture on the sides should be at least 30 cm (see Picture 7).
