Safety distances to flammable structures
Please note that the gap between the furnace and the
stove’s mesh frame must be filled with stones. Safety
distances to flammable structures (e.g., wood-panelled walls
and wooden benches):
A:
From the mesh frame, filled with stones, to the sides and
back: 250 mm
B:
From the exposed chimney pipe to the side: 500 mm
From the pipe upwards: 1000 mm
Note!
From the stones upwards: 800 mm
C:
From the furnace to the side: 300 mm
D:
From the glass hatch to the front: 500 mm
The required distance for safety can be cut down by 50% when
using fire protection boards, for example 1 mm metal/fibre
board with a 30 mm air gap.
3.4
Through-the-wall installation
The thickness of the wall can be max. 150 mm. The front of the furnace has to be at least 40 mm
away from the wall in order for the hatch to open up properly. The safety distance to a flammable
wall surface needs to be
(A)
300 mm in minimum from the lead-through in the wall
(C)
. If the stove
is installed though a log wall a non-combustible heat shield must be used around the fireplace, as
shown in the figure
(B)
. IKI-Kiuas also recommends the use of a spark damper in the front
(D)
.
