Placing
2.1 Requirements
When placing the fire-place and jointing the smoke tube side the fire protection requirements of
the relevant construction provisions must be taken into consideration.
For the problem-free functioning of the equipment the chimney which the fire-place uses must be
in perfect condition.
4.1
Place of installation
As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located, ensure that
sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and external doors. Make sure that 4 m
3
of air should be provided to each kW of rated performance. For this fireplace, it means that the
room has to be at least 28 m
in volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured
by opening air connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm
2
).
4.2
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 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 30 cm, or 20 cm on the
rear side. Similarly, the distance to wooden and plastic furniture on the sides should be at least 20
cm
(see Picture 9).
