Everything about stoves, including bath stoves.

It should be noted that only serviceable heat-generating appliances and heating devices of industrial (factory) manufacture (with the exception of stoves) are allowed for operation.

Heat-generating appliances and heating devices must be operated in accordance with the operational documentation

for them, as well as the Fire Safety Rules.

The operation of stoves whose design does not meet the requirements of technical regulatory legal acts, as well as non-compliance with the requirements of these Rules, is not allowed.

It should also be remembered that:

1. The floor area made of combustible materials in front of the furnace opening of the operated heat-generating appliances (stoves) that run on solid fuel must be protected with non-combustible material at least 0.5 meters wide and 0.7 meters long. The placement of combustible substances and materials on it is not allowed.
2. The minimum distances from the surfaces of heat-generating appliances to combustible substances and materials must correspond to the values specified in the operational documentation for them.
   
   In the absence of these values in the operational documentation, a distance must be ensured that excludes the ignition of combustible substances and materials. When operating heat-generating appliances
   
   the following is not allowed:

- using flammable and combustible liquids for ignition;

using chimneys that do not meet the requirements of technical regulatory legal acts;

- operating with open doors;

disconnecting automatic control devices for their operation;

- operating without supervision, unless otherwise specified

in the operational documentation for them;

- using a type of fuel not provided for in the operational documentation for them;

- continuing operation upon detection of a malfunction.

Chimneys of heat-generating appliances that operate

on solid and liquid fuels, stoves must be periodically cleaned of soot (depending on operating conditions), but not less than once a year.

And here is what is not allowed when operating stoves:

- operating with the collapse of the fuel chamber arch masonry;

- using flammable and combustible liquids for ignition;

- operating with open doors, except in cases where the stove design provides for operation with an open fuel chamber;

- overheating them;

- placing combustible substances and materials on them and in close proximity to the furnace openings;

- operating with coal, coke, and gas in stoves not intended for these types of fuel;

- leaving burning stoves unattended.

Stoves, surfaces of pipes and walls through which flue gas channels pass must be serviceable, without through cracks,

and to detect cracks in the chimney at an early stage in the attic space – plastered and whitewashed.

Annually, before the heating season, it is necessary to check the serviceability of the stove, chimneys (channels).

Ash, coals, and slag removed from heat-generating appliances, stoves must be doused with water until completely extinguished.



By following these simple rules, you will be warm and safe.
