9 REQUIREMENTS FOR LOCATION
Possible locations for a wood-burning stove or fireplace are only such rooms, where no danger can occur, if
only the instructions for use are being followed and the system is properly used. The state, structure and in-
tended use of the room must be considered, when choosing the location.
Please consider the massive weight of the system. If the floor is not strong enough to bear such load, it has
to be distributed by suitable means.
A heating device may not be located in the following rooms:
1. Where sufficient volume of combustion air is not guaranteed.
2. Where flammable materials or explosives are stored, manufactured or processed.
3. Which are commonly accessible. Stairways in residential buildings with access from only two flats are
not considered as commonly accessible rooms.
4. Where exhaust fans of ventilation or air heating systems are running, unless safe operation of the fire-
place is ensured. This is ensured, when:
- The systems are causing only circulation of air within the room.
- The systems are equipped with safety devices, which automatically and securely prevent negative
pressure in this room.
- If simultaneous operation of fireplace and ventilation systems is prevented by safety devices.
- If the total negative pressure level caused by the stream of combustion air of the fireplace and the
airflow volume of the ventilation systems in this room and other rooms included in one ventilation sys-
tem does not exceed 0.04 mbar. This must be ensured even if easily accessible controls of the venti-
lation system are being manipulated or removed.
- If exhaust gas flow is being monitored by special safety devices.
- If the construction type or dimensioning of the systems are excluding the possibility of dangerous
negative pressure.
Please consult the location of your fireplace, chimney connection and combustion air supply with
your local chimney sweep.
