Nordpeis Q-34AL User Manual page 17

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS!
1. Please follow the installation manual when
connecting your stove / fireplace to the chimney /
flue pipe. If connected differently from instruction
please, consider the heat radiation from the flue
pipe to the surrounding materials.
2. Before use, please carefully read the user manual
and follow the instructions.
3. Integrated or defined convection openings may
never be reduced or partially obstructed. This may
lead to overheating, which again can cause house
fire or serious damage to the product.
4. Use only designated fire starters. Never use
gasoline, diesel or other liquids to start the fire.
This may cause explosions!
5. Never use other fuel than natural dry chopped
wood. Briquettes, peat, coke, coal and waste
from construction materials develops far higher
temperatures and emissions than natural wood.
Since your product has been designed for use
with natural wood only, other fuels may damage
the product, chimney and surrounding
constructions.
6. In case of damage to glass or door gasket, all use
of the product must be discontinued until the
damage has been repaired.
7. Products connected to a vented chimney must
never be operated with open or ajar door other than
reloading of wood or shortly during kindling process.
Failure to follow these precautions will leave your
warranty void and expose people and property to
danger.
Advise: Even if not required in your area, it is always
wise to have a qualified stove / fireplace fitter do the
installation, or at least the final inspection before use.

All our products are tested according to the latest
European requirements and also to the Norwegian
standard NS 3058 and NS 3059, which include particle
tests. However, several European countries have local
regulations for installation of fireplaces, which change
regularly. It is the responsibility of the client that these
regulations are complied with in the country/region
where the fireplace is installed. Nordpeis AS is not
responsible for incorrect installation.
Important to check
(please note that this list is not exhaustive):
• distance from firebox to combustible/flammable
materials
• insulation materials/requirements between
fireplace surround and back wall

• flue connection between firebox and chimney
