STELLA26 1192000 Rev.03 – EN6. FIRE SAFETYIn the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed:a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects orfurnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) andfrom materials with flammable structure (see Picture 2 A). All the minimum safety distances areshown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used.b) In front of the chimney stove there must not be any flammable object or building material, sensitive toheat, at less than 100 cm’s of distance. This distance can be reduced to 40 cm’s if you will install infront of the element to protect a retro ventilated and heat resistant protection.c) If the product is installed on a non-totally refractory floor, one must foresee a fireproof background. Thefloors made of inflammable material, such as moquette, parquet or cork etc., must be replaced by alayer of no-inflammable material, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. (dimensions accordingto the local regulations). The platform must stick out 50 cm’s in front and 30 cm’s sideways (Picture 2B)d) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the product.The stove must work exclusively with inserted ash drawer.Solid combustion residuals (ashes) must be collected in an air-tight and fire-resistant container. The devicemust never be switched on when there are gaseous emissions or vapors (for example glue for linoleum,gasoline etc.). Do not deposit flammable materials close to the stove.During the combustion will be spread thermal energy which warms up the surfaces, the door, the fireplaceglass, the handles and knobs, the smoke pipe and the front side of the stove. Please avoid the contact ofthese 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 achimney fire.Picture 2A B
