Air-ventilated fireplaces

DANGER

Danger to life: Risk of suffocation and poisoning from carbon monoxide when using air-ventilated fireplaces.

• Ensure sufficient supply air intake when operating with air-ventilated fireplaces. Observe the maximum permitted pressure difference per residential unit. This model always requires the approval of a regional master chimney sweep.
• Ventilation units may only be installed in rooms, apartments or housing units of a comparable size, in which air-ventilated fireplaces are installed if:
  • parallel operation of air-ventilated fireplaces for liquid or gaseous fuels and the air-extracting equipment can be prevented via safety devices, or
  • the extraction of exhaust gas from the air-ventilated fireplaces is monitored by special safety devices. In the case of air-ventilated fireplaces for liquid or gaseous fuels, the fireplace or the ventilation system must be switched off if the safety device is triggered.
• In the case of air-ventilated fireplaces for solid fuels, the ventilation system must be switched off if the safety device is triggered.
