Safety

A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home. Fire safety
starts with a proper installation and a properly working flue tube. Your installer must therefore comply with
the installation instructions as listed on page 22 and further. To burn your stove safely, the following points
are important:
1. Burn your stove as much as possible with a closed door; it increases the output and is better for the
environment.
2. Prevent small children or the infirm from getting too close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone
in the room when the stove is burning. You could use a fire-screen.
3. Do not pour or put combustible liquids and materials in the stove, as it may damage the fireplace beyond
repair.
4. If the floor around the fireplace is made of combustible material you must use a floor slab. The floor slab
must have a minimum size of: - 50 cm measured from the fireplace on the front side of the door: - 30 cm
measured from the fireplace on all sides from the door.
5. Do not place any combustible materials, such as curtains, wooden objects (cupboards, paintings) close to
the fireplace or the flue tube. A minimum distance of 80 cm measured from the exterior of the stove and
the flue tube is required.
6. Never cover the chimney breast or mantelpiece with combustible material (e.g. paper covering).
7. Please bear in mind the points of the section on 'the best way to burn your stove' , on page 20.
8. Have your stove repaired only by a certified installer and with original parts.
