2. Placing
2.1 Prescriptions
When placing the fire-place and jointing the smoke tube side the fire protection
requirements of the relevant construction provisions must be taken into consid-
eration.
For the problem-free functioning of the equipment the chimney which the fire-
place uses must be in perfect condition.
2.2 Place of installation
Since the air which the fire-place takes comes from the room where it is located
fresh supply of air must be sufficient. Make sure that 4 m
3
volume of air falls to
each KW of nominal performance.
For this specific fire-place this means that the room must be at least 26 m
3
. If the
room is less than 26 m
3
then sufficient air supply can be secured by opening more
rooms together (size of the linking slots must be at least 150 cm
2
).
2.3 Distances
All combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials which are in the
close environment of the fire-place shall be protected from the heat.
Furnishings in the radiation area
Keep a minimal distance of 80 cm (A) between the front cover of the fire-place
and the combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials.
The security distance can be lowered to 40 cm if a heat shield is put in front of the
object to be protected (B) (see our example on drawing no. 6).
Furnishings outside the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fire-place shall not be made of combustible ma-
terials and they cannot be covered by such materials, unless the distance on the
sides is more than 30 cm and behind is more than 20 cm .
Similarly to the wooden and plastic furniture on the sides a distance of 30 cm
shall be kept (see drawing no. 7).
