Requirements to be met by the place of installation
7.1
Requirements to be met by the installation room
Fireplaces must not be set up in:
• spaces in which the required combustion air supply is not guaranteed.
• spaces which are generally accessible, especially emergency exits staircases in residential building
with no more than 2 apartments are not included in general accessible spaces.
• spaces in which easily flammable or potentially explosive substances or mixtures are processed,
stored or manufactured.
• spaces, apartments or units from which air is extracted with the aid of ventilators, such as ventila-
tion- or hot-air heating installations, extractor hoods or exhaust air tumble dryers. Unless the safe
function of the fireplace insert is ensured:
This is ensured if:
–
the systems only circulate air within a space.
–
the systems have safety features which autonomously and reliably prevent negative pressure in
the installation space.
–
simultaneous operation of the fireplace and the air-extracting system is prevented by safety
features.
–
the flue gas routing is monitored by a particular piece of safety equipment.
–
no negative pressure greater than 0.04 mbar occurs overall via the combustion air flow of the
fireplace insert and the volume flows of the ventilation systems in the installation room and
rooms connected via the ventilation network. This must also be guaranteed when easily access-
ible ventilation system control equipment is adjusted or removed.
TIP
When operating a controlled living room ventilation system, the use of a DIBT-tested heat-producing
appliance connected to a balanced flue is recommended.
7.2
Installing the fireplace insert
Observe the guidelines on fire safety, such as thermal insulation and air grille sizes.
DANGER
Fire hazard
Operating your Austroflamm fireplace insert with too high a fuel feed will create a risk of the chimney
and adjacent components or furniture overheating.
7.3
Combustion air supply
For heat-producing appliances that draw their combustion air from the installation room an adequate
supply of combustion air into the room must be provided. Other heat-producing appliances or ventila-
tion facilities in the installation room or combustion air network may make a separate combustion air
supply from outside necessary.
Air suction systems (e.g. ventilation system, cooker hood, etc.) that are operated together with the
heat-producing appliance in the same room air network may disrupt the combustion air supply and
possibly require additional safety measures under the heating regulations.
