The rear wall of the stove does not become hot. There is no need to keep a minimum
distance from the rear wall for safety reasons.
Nevertheless, we strongly recommend keeping 20 cm clearance to the wall for better
accessibility (for ex. for servicing).
10.3 Floor beneath and in front of the stove
Flooring made of flammable materials such as carpets, parquet or cork must be replaced or
protected by nonflammable materials such as ceramic, stone, glass or a steel base plate on an
area extending over the entire base area of the stove as well as at least 50 cm forward
from the firebox opening and at least 30 cm to the side from the firebox opening (not the
outer edge of the stove but the inside edge of the firebox opening).
There is no need for additional heat insulation underneath the stove; a fireproof base of
appropriate weight bearing capacity is quite sufficient, since heat is not released
downward.
10.4 Objects near air inlets and outlets
All air inlets and outlets must constantly be kept free and must not be blocked or covered in any
way: Danger of stove overheating!
Flammable objects must have a distance of at least 80 cm (measure A) from hot air outlets
or, if provided with vented heat radiation protection, a distance of at least 40 cm
(measure B).
10.5 Distances from the flue gas connector
wodtke appliances are equipped with safety devices that limit the flue gas temperature to 200
°C by automatically reducing fuel feed rate when this limit is reached.
For building components requiring heat protection a minimum distance from the hot flue gas
connector of 10 cm (measure D) is therefore quite sufficient.
If the flue gas connector is not mounted horizontally as recommended but runs vertically
behind the stove, this vertical section should have a distance from the fuel hopper of at least 5
cm (measure E).
If the flue gas connector is installed such that it leads through a wall requiring heat protection,
then it must have at least 20 cm circumferential heat insulation (measure F) conforming to
building material category A1 in accordance with DIN 4102.
Uninsulated inside walls of apartments require a minimum clearance of no more than 10 cm
(measure D), since in this case the air between the flue gas connector and building component
requiring heat protection can circulate.
