VAIO Operating and installation instructions
Distance to flammable material
Do not place your VAIO wood-burning stove on a non-flammable base. If the wood-burning stove is instal-
led on a wooden floor or similar, (in Germany) the floor must be covered with a non-flammable material,
measuring 50 cm in front, and 30 cm on both sides, of the wood-burning stove (facing towards the stove).
If the wood-burning stove is installed on a base or is hung from the wall, the floor beneath the stove and
up to at least 30 cm on either side of the stove (facing towards the stove) must also be covered with a
non-flammable material.

Note that glass surfaces do not necessarily have to be heat-resistant. As a glass surface is categorised
in the “flammable wall” category, you should ask the manufacturer or master chimney sweep about this.
Comply with any existing rules on distances between walls and flue pipes.
Existing rules on distances between walls and flue pipes must be complied with. In order to access the
fresh air automatic system, the specified distance to the wall must be observed.
IMPORTANT
Do not store any flammable materials under the stove.
Chimney requirements
The chimney must be tall enough to ensure a good draught and to prevent smoke from becoming a nui-
sance. Nominal draught: approx. 12 Pa.
The chimney should have a light opening of at least Ø 150 mm. Another minimum requirement is that the
opening should always correspond to the size of the stove’s exhaust connections. The chimney should also
have an easily accessible cleaning door.
