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 modifications 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
fireplace manufacturer. This may also be the case if parts that are
essential to the functioning and safety of the fireplace 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 fireplace. The following instructions must therefore be
followed:
• The minimum safety distances when installing and using the
fireplace are given in fig. 1.
• Ensure that furniture and other flammable materials are not
too close to the fireplace. Flammable materials should not
be placed within 850 of the fireplace.
• Allow the fire to burn out. Never extinguish the flames with
water.
• The fireplace becomes hot when lit and may cause burns if
touched.
• Only remove ash when the fireplace is cold. Ash can contain
hot embers and should therefore be placed in a non-
flammable container.
• Ash should be placed outdoors or be emptied in a place where
it will not present a potential fire hazard.
In case of chimney fire:
• Close all hatches and vents.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and cellar for smoke.
• Call the fire service.
• Before use after a fire an expert must check the fireplace
and the chimney in order to ensure that it is fully functional.
