  • if 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 centrifugal blower must be switched off if the safety device is triggered.
