Fire Safety; First-Aid Measures - Nordica FIAMMETTA Handbuch

THE HEARTHS MUST NOT BE MODIFIED.

4. FIRE SAFETY

In the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:
a) the minimum distance from objects or furnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat
(furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and from materials with flammable structure must be 20 cm's
on the back and on both sides; in order to assure a sufficient thermal insulation (Picture 2 A).
b) in front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material, sensitive to
heat, at less 100 cm's. of distance. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm's if you will install in front of
the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection. All minimum safety measures
are indicated in the plate of the products and they must be absolutely respected.
c) if the chimney stove must be installed on a non totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof
background, for example a steel platform dimensions according to the local regulations. The platform
must stick out 30 cm's sideways and 50 cm's on the front side over the loading door (Picture 2 B)
The chimney stove must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residue of the
combustion (ashes) must be collected in a hermetic container, resistant to fire. The stove must never be
ignited when there are gas or steam emissions (e.g. glue for linoleum, gasoline, etc.). Never deposit
flammable materials near the stove.
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.
