3.0 Safety

NB! We recommend that installation be carried out by
a qualified installer, to ensure that the product delivers
maximum performance and safety.
Any modifi cations to the product by the distributor, installer
or consumer may result in the product and safety features not
functioning as intended. The same applies to the installation
of accessories or optional extras that are not supplied by the
fi replace manufacturer. This may also be the case if parts that
are essential to the functioning and safety of the fi replace have
been disassembled or removed.
In all these cases, the manufacturer is not responsible or liable
for the product and the warranty shall become null and void.

3.1 Fire Prevention Measures

There is a certain element of danger every time you use your
fi replace. The following instructions must therefore be followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using
the fi replace are given in Fig. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other fl ammable materials are
not too close to the fi replace. Flammable materials should
not be placed within 850 mm of the fi replace.
• Allow the fi re to burn out. Never extinguish the fl ames
with water.
• The fi replace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns
if touched.
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
fl ammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place
where it will not present a potential fi re hazard.
In case of chimney fi re:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the fi rebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fi re service.
• Before use after a fi re an expert must check the fi replace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.

4.0 Installation

N.B. Check that the fi replace is free of any damage prior to
commencing installation.
The product is heavy! Make sure you have assistance when
erecting and installing the fi replace.
4.1 Floor
Foundations
Ensure that the fl oor is strong enough for the fi replace. See «2.0
Technical data» for weights. It is recommended that fl ooring
which is not fastened to the foundations – so-called fl oating
fl ooring – is removed during installation.
Combustible fl oor protection
If the fi replace is to be mounted on a combustible fl oor, cover
the fl oor under and in front of the fi replace with a plate of
metal or other non- combustible material. The recommended
minimum thickness is 0,9 mm.
34
Any fl ooring made of combustible material, such as linoleum,
carpets, etc. should be removed from under the fl oor plate.
The plate must be in accordance with national laws and
regulations.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.2 Wall (Fig. 1)
Distance to wall made of combustible material
Distances, see Fig. 1.
Distance to walls covered by a fi rewall
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
Distances, see Fig. 1.
Firewall requirement
The fi rewall must be at least 100 mm thick and be made of
brick, concrete-stone or light concrete. Other materials and
constructions with satisfactory documentation may also be used.
Distance to non combustible walls
By non combustible one means a non load-bearing wall of solid
brickwork/concrete.
Contact your local building authority regarding restrictions and
installation requirements.
4.3 Chimneys and flue pipes
• The fireplace can be connected to a chimney and flue
pipe approved for solid fuel fi red appliances with fl ue gas
temperatures specifi ed in «2.0 Technical data».
• The chimney's cross-section must be at least as big as the
fl ue pipe's cross-section. See «2.0 Technical data» when
calculating the correct chimney cross-section.
• Several solid fuel fi red appliances can be connected to the
same chimney if the chimney's cross-section is suffi cient.
• Connection to the chimney must be carried out in
accordance with the installation instructions from the
supplier of the chimney.
• Before making a hole in the chimney the fi replace should
be test-mounted in order to correctly mark the position
of the fi replace and the hole in the chimney. See Fig. 1 for
minimum dimensions.
• Ensure that the fl ue pipe is inclined all the way up to the
chimney.
• Use a fl ue pipe bend with a sweeping hatch that allows it
to be swept.
Be aware of the fact that it is particularly important that
connections have a certain flexibility in order to prevent
movement in the installation leading to cracks.
N.B. A correct and sealed connection is very important for the
proper functioning of the product.
Chimney draught; See «2.0 Technical data». If the draught is
too strong you can install and operate a fl ue damper to control
the draught.
