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. 2 in the installation manuals
for the products.
• Ensure that furniture and other combustible materials are
not too close to the fireplace. Combustible materials must
not be placed within 1,000 mm of the fireplace opening.
• 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 the event of fire in the chimney.
• Close all doors and valves.
• Keep the firebox door closed.
• Check the loft and the basement for smoke.
• Call the fire brigade.
• Before a fireplace can be used after a fire or an attempted
fire, the fireplace and the chimney must be inspected and
found to be in order by competent personnel.
