4. FIRE SAFETY
In the installation of the cooker the following safety measures are to be followed:
ITALY Built IN
a) In order to ensure sufficient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or
furnishing components flammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wood sheathings, fabrics. etc.) and
from materials with flammable structure (see Picture 3 - A). All the minimum safety distances are
shown on the product data plate and lower values must not be used.
b) In front of the hearth, in its radiation area there must not be any flammable object or construction
material sensitive to the heat at least within 100 cm’s; 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.
c) no flammable components (e.g. wall units) must be present above the cooker.
d) If the stove is installed on a wall made of flammable material, it is necessary to replace that part of
the wall with a non-flammable material layer, for instance ceramic, stone, glass or steel etc. The
replaced part of wall must be as large as the stove is and, starting from the floor, protrude around 50
cm at least (Picture 3 C) from the top side of the stove.
e) on both sides of the cooker for a height of 20cm from the top plate it must NOT be put any
constructive element or inflammable thing (furniture, wood covering, material, etc) (Picture 3 B).

The cooker must operate exclusively with the ash drawer inserted. The solid residues of the combustion
(ashes) must be collected in an hermetic container, resistant to fire. The cooker must never be ignited near
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.
4.1. FIRST-AID MEASURES
Should any fire arise in the stack or in the flue:
a) Close the feeding door and the ash drawer door.
b) Close the registers of combustion air
c) Extinguish the fire using carbon dioxide fire-fighting means (CO2 dust).
d) Seek immediate intervention of FIRE BRIGADE.
DO NOT EXTINGUISH FIRE USING WATER JETS
When the fire has been extinguished, let the flue check by an expert to find possible cracks and permeable
points.
