FIRE SAFETY MEASURES
While installing the appliance, it is necessary to respect the following safety measures:
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing
components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and from materials with
flammable structure (see chapters 20 A1-A2). All the minimum safety distances are shown on the product
data plate and lower values must not be used.
b) In front of the hearth, in its radiation area and its rotation space (+- 45°) there must not be any fl ammable object
or construction material sensitive to the heat at least within 100 cm; This distance can be reduced to 40 cm if you
will install in front of the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.
c) If the product is installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background. The floors
made of inflammable material, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be replaced by a layer of no-
inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. (dimensions according to the local
regulations). The platform must stick out 50 cm in front and 30 cm sideways, considering also the rotation field of
the stove. (see chapters 20 B1-B2).
d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.
The stove must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.
Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The appliance must
never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapours (for example glue for linoleum, gasoline etc.). Do
not deposit flammable materials close to the same.
During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplace glass, the
handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact of these parts without
gloves or the relevant tools.
Warn children of the danger and keep them away during the operation of the stove.
The use of a wrong or wet fuel causes the formation of creosote deposits in the flue and will fuel a chimney fire.
4.1.
FIRST-AID MEASURES
Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a)
Close the feeding door and the ash drawer door.
b)
Close the registers of combustion air
c)
Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting
means (CO
2
dust).
d)
Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS
When the fire has been extinguished, let the flue check by an expert to
find possible cracks and permeable points.

FLUE
Essential requirements for a correct operation of the device:
•
the internal section must be preferably circular;
•
be thermally insulated and water-proof and produced with
materials suitable to resist to heat, to combustion products and
possible condensates;
•
not be throttled and show a vertical arrangement with
deviations not greater than 45°;
•
if already used, it must be clean;
•
observe the technical data of the instructions manual;
Should the flues have a square or rectangular section, internal edges
must be rounded with a radius not lower than 20 mm. For the
rectangular section, the maximum ratio between the sides must be
≤
1.5.
A too small section causes a decrease of the draught.
It is suggested a minimum height of 4 m.
The following features are forbidden and therefore they endanger the
good operation of the device: asbestos cement, galvanized steel, rough and porous internal surfaces. Picture 3 gives
some examples of execution.
Picture 3
(1) AISI 316 steel flue with double
chamber insulated with material resistant
to 400°C. Efficiency 100% excellent.
(2) Refractory flue with double insulated
chamber
and
external
coating
in
lightweight concrete. Efficiency 100%
excellent.
(3) Traditional clay flue square section
with cavities. Efficiency 80% excellent.
(4) Avoid flues with rectangular internal
section whose ratio differs from the
drawing. Efficiency 40% poor.
