3. Safety Distances
Within a radius of 80 cm in front of and 25 cm around the
stove, flammable, combustible, or heat-sensitive materials (e.g.
furniture, wood or plastic panelling, curtains, etc.) are not al-
lowed to be located in the heat radiating area of the fire box
window (Fig. 1).
With regard to flammable materials beyond the heat radiating
area, a safety distance of 10 cm at the sides of the stove and 10
cm behind the stove has to be adhered to (Fig. 1).
WARNING!
Flammable flooring materials (e.g., wood,
laminate, carpeting,) must be protected with a
floorplate made of non-combustible material
(e.g., tiles, safety glass, slate, or sheet steel).
The size of the floorplate must be larger than
the base of the stove by at least 50 cm in front
and at least 29 cm at the sides of the stove
(Fig. 2).
WARNING!
Never turn stove when lighting fire!
4. Fuel Load Sizes and Thermal Output
The thermal output depends on the amount of fuel you put in
the stove. When adding more fuel, please do not exceed the
maximum fuel load size of 1,7 kg. Exceeding the maximum fuel
load size leads to a danger of overheating, which can result in
damage to the stove and the risk of a stove fire.
NOTE!
To attain a thermal output of approx. 4 kW,
burn wood logs that weigh 0.8 kg and are no
longer than 25 cm in length for about 40 min.
(with brown coal briquettes 2 briquettes
with a total of approx. 1 kg at approx. 60 min)
The Merida is intended for intermittent operation, please only
apply one fuel layer at a time.
In Austria and Switzerland the Merida is only authorised to
burn firewood.
