3.1 Fire Prevention Measures
There is a certain element of danger every time you use
your fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in fi g. 2 in the installation manuals
for the products.

not too close to the fi replace. Combustible materials must
not be placed within 1,000 mm of the fi replace opening.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames with
water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can
contain hot embers and should therefore be placed in a
non-fl ammable container.

In the event of fi re in the chimney.

found to be in order by competent personnel.
