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 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 100 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 50 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
50 cm, or 20 cm on the rear side. Similarly, the distance to wooden and plastic furni-
ture on the sides should be at least 50 cm (see Picture 9).
