3.0 Safety precautions
3.1 Fire preventive measures
Any use of the fireplace may represent some danger. Therefore,
respect the following instructions:
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials do not
get too close to the fireplace.
• Let the fire die. Never put it out with water as this may
damage the product.
• The fireplace gets warm when used and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove the ashes when the fireplace is cold.
• Ash must be properly disposed of outdoors, or emptied where
it does not entail a fire hazard.
3.2 Air supply
Warning! Please ensure that there is adequate air supply from the
outdoors to the room in which the fireplace is to be installed.
An inadequate air supply could cause smoke gas to escape into
the room. This is very dangerous! Symptoms of this include smoky
smell, drowsiness, nausea and feeling ill.
Ensure that air vents in the room where the fireplace is located
are not blocked.
Avoid using mechanical fan vents in a room with a fireplace.
This may cause negative pressure and draw poisonous gasses
into the room
4.0 Installation
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the floor is strong enough for the fireplace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights.
Wooden floor protection
If the fireplace is to be mounted on a combustible floor, cover
the floor under and in front of the fireplace with a plate made
of metal or other non-combustible material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0,9 mm.
The floor plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Any flooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. must be removed from under the floor plate.
Requirement for protecting combustible
flooring in front of fireplace
The front plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations. Contact your local building authorities regarding
restrictions and installation requirements.

Distance to walls made of combustible material -
see fig. 1
Requirements for insulation

foliated on one side with
aluminium.
Contact your local building authorities regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Distance from the stove to the insulation on the back panel.
See fig. 1 and 2:
Minimum 30 mm.
Requirements for the stove surround
The insert surround must be made in an incombustible
material.
Note that the entire back panel within the surround must be
covered by insulation.
If the stove cowling is bricked up to the ceiling and the ceiling is
made of combustible material, on top of the warming chamber
and the cowling vents an extra ceiling panel must be installed
to avoid heating the ceiling.
For example use:
Rock wool 100 mm thick on top of a steel plate min. 0,9 mm.
Ensure airing out the top of the stove cowling – for example an
opening towards the ceiling, or approx. 5 cm
