7. SAFETY MEASURES
1. The stoves are tested to EN 12815 (see identification plate).
2. For installation and for flue gas connections, the requirements of the Fire Regulations
(FeuVO in Germany) apply, as well as local building regulations such as the following
technical standards DIN 4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160, EN 1856-2, EN 12828, EN
12831, EN 12897 and EN 15287. In order for the stove to function correctly the chim-
ney to which you want to connect the stove must be in good condition.
3. Before first use and before connecting to the chimney, you must read the Instructions
for Use carefully and inform the local authority responsible for approving heating sys-
tems.
4. While installing the stove you are recommended to wear clean cotton gloves, in order
to avoid leaving fingerprints which can be difficult to remove afterwards.
5. In the interests both of clean air, and of the safe functioning of the stove, the fuel quan-
tities listed in the Instructions for Use should never be exceeded, and the doors of the
stove must be shut during use to avoid the risk of overheating, which can lead to dam-
age to the stove. Damage due to this cause is not covered by the guarantee.
6. The stove doors must remain shut at all times while the stove is in use.
7. Permitted fuels are:
- Natural chopped firewood (up to 33 cm max. in length)
- Lignite (brown coal) briquettes (see permitted fuels in the Instructions for Use)
8. Never use liquid fire starters. Use either special firelighters or wood shavings.
9. Burning rubbish, fine chips, bark, coal slack, parts of chipboards, damp wood or wood
treated with preservative, paper, cardboard or similar is not permitted.
10. The first time the stove is heated there may be some smoke and an unpleasant smell.
Make sure that the room is well ventilated (open windows and doors) and heat for at
least an hour at the maximum nominal heat load. If the maximum temperature is not
reached the first time the stove is heated, then there may be further unpleasant smells
at a later date.
11. All controls and settings must be used as indicated in the Instructions for Use. When
the stove is hot, please handle only using the implements or protective gloves pro-
vided.
12. If the stove is not working correctly, or if the chimney is not drawing properly, smoke
may appear when the fire door is opened. It is very important to only open the fire door
slowly, initially just a crack, then wait a few seconds before opening fully. In addition,
before opening the fire door to top up the fuel, make sure that only glowing material is
present: there must not be any visible flames.
13. Do not place any flammable items in the warming drawer or on the surface of the
stove.
14. When in use, all surfaces and particularly the glass doors and handles and other con-
trols can become very hot. Make children, young people, older people and animals
aware of this danger, and keep them away from this source of heat when the stove is
