The chimney must also be cleaned by the chimney sweep who will set the
necessary intervals for cleaning / sweeping.
The wood-burning stove should be checked by a professional about once a
year.
Combustion air
Combustion air is a precondition for a good and clean combustion.
The air is normally taken from the room where the wood-burning stove is
mounted, however in some circumstances it may be necessary to provide extra
air in the room where the stove is placed. This can e.g. be done by mounting
an air valve in the room’s outer wall. Air valves that supply necessary
combustion air must be kept free from blockage.
An exhaust fan in the same room or close to the wood-burning stove can also
have a negative effect on the combustion (at worst it can lead to exhaust
gases in the room, even with the stove door closed). Therefore, in the above
case, the wood-burning stove and the exhaust fan must never be in use at the
same time.
Distance to flammable material:
The stove must be put on a non inflammable foundation. This foundation must
as a minimum cover 150 mm on each side of the stove and 300 mm in front of
the stove.
For inflammable materials like walls of wood or other inflammable materials,
furniture, etc. the following minimum distances apply for safety reasons:
150 mm behind the stove to flammable material.
350 mm beside the stove to flammable material.
900 mm in front of the stove to flammable material.
Distance to non-flammable materials:
