11. FIRE SAFETY
Following precautions must be taken during the installation of the furnace:
a) Minimum safe distance from objects and flammable or heat-sensitive pieces of furniture must be
kept (furniture, wooden and plastic things, clothes, paper and other flammable materials). All set minimum
safe distances must be honoured , lower values MUST NOT apply.
b) None flammable objects or materials may be held in front of the furnace. The minimum distance at
which such objects may be placed is 100 cm . If the furnace is installed on groundwork from easy flammable
materials, such groundwork has to be plated with refractory material.
c) If the product is installed on a floor which is not fireproof, you must insert under the furnace some
fireproof foundation (eg. metal or stone plate). The size of such plate has to be bigger than that of the
furnace base,
15 cm sideways and 50 cm before the door.
d) Above the furnace must not be any flammable materials.
e) The ash drawer must be pulled in while the furnace operates. Solid combustion rests (ash) have
to be gathered in one hermetic, fireproof container.
The furnace must not be fired in presence of any gases or steam in the atmosphere (eg. glue, gasoline and
alike). Do never leave flammable materials close to the furnace.
f) The door of the furnace must be closed when furnace operates.
g) Usage of unsuitable or humid fuel causes creosote deposits on chimney walls, which in long term
may lead to chimney firing.
11.1. FIRST AID MEASURES
In case that flue or chimney catch fire, you need to:
a) Close the door,
b) Close the combustion air regulators,
c)
Extinguish fire using firefighting device CO2 type or dry „S” powder,
d) Call FIREMEN.
DON'T USE WATER JET TO EXTINGUISH FIRE.
After extinguishing the fire, the chimney has to be inspected by specialist on eventual cracks or leaking
spots.
12. AIR SUPPLY TO THE INSTALLATION SPOT DURING THE COMBUSTION
Our model is provided with a central combustion air inlet, to which flexible hose of 100mm dia is
connected. The combustion air is obtained from outside.
If you are not in position to supply the air from outside, the furnace will take air for combustion on the
installation site, through outlet on its back lower part. The outlet must not be closed or reduced in diameter.
