11. FIRE SAFETY
During the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furniture
components which are flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood, fabrics etc.) and from materials with flammable
structure. All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product data plate and lower values MUST NOT be
used.
b) Do not place armchairs, seats, curtains or any flammable object within 100cm(40”) in front of the stove as well as
within 50 cm(20”) on the sides.
c) No flammable components must be present above the product.
d) Moreover, if there is a flammable floor, it must be protected by an insulating plate (steel, brass, marble, stone, etc.),
which extends at least 46cm(18”) from the front and at least 20cm(8”) from the sides.
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the combustion (ashes)
must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. The stove must never be ignited when there are gas or
steam emissions (e.g. glue, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit flammable materials near the stove. During the combustion
there will be thermal energy spread which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplace glass, the handles and knobs,
the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact with these parts without gloves or the
relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove.
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a chimney fire.
