Pay special attention to furnishings and ornaments around the appliance.
• To ensure safe operation, the following minimum distances must be maintained
between the appliance and any combustible material at the side, rear and top of the
appliance (temperature
≤
80 °C).
in respect of side wall: Distance minimal 30 cm
in respect of rear wall: Distance minimal 35 cm
in respect of top:
Distance minimal 50 cm.
• The minimum distance between the side, rear and top of the appliance and a wall of
non-combustible material
must be at least 5 cm.
• When placed on a combustible fl oor, a hearth of non-combustible material must be
placed underneath the appliance. This hearth shall extend at least 20 cm on each
side of the appliance. If the appliance is placed without the optional wood log storage
module, the hearth shall have a minimum thickness of 3 cm.
• When you use your appliance, the exterior will become hot. Always wear the glove
or use the accessories supplied when fi lling etc.
Protect yourself and others (especially children!) from burns. Do not leave children
unattended when the appliance is burning.
• Watch your clothing. Synthetic clothing in particular can easily catch fi re and burn
intensely.
• Do not approach the appliance with fl ammable materials or liquids. Any work with
solvents, adhesives etc. in the space heated by the appliance can be very
dangerous.
• It is not allowed to connect the appliance to a fl ue which is already connected to
another appliance.
• Check the chimney. Cracks in the chimney may not only lead to damp, staining
of walls and leaking of smoke, they can also impair the carrying off of smoke.
• Prevent your chimney being soiled from above (birds’ nests etc.) by fi tting a suitable
cap to the chimney pot.
• The appliance must be placed on a suffi cient solid fl oor that can bear the weight of
the appliance. (see chapter 8 “
Technical data
”).
• Avoid chimney fi res! Have your chimney swept at least once per year - more often
if you use your fi re a lot. Prevent excessive deposits of soot inside the chimney by
not burning freshly-cut wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped wood.
