4.2 Regulations for operation with
fireplaces
Observe the DIBT (The German Institute for
Building Technology) approvals, the current
rules from the German Federation of
Chimney Sweeps (Evaluation criteria for the
joint operation of fireplaces – domestic
ventilation – extractor hoods) as well as other
pertinent regulations and guidelines.
The ventilation unit may only be installed
in rooms with air-ventilated fireplaces if:
● the evaluation criteria drawn up by the
responsible, regional master chimney
sweep are met,
● a parallel operation of air-ventilated
fireplaces for liquid or gaseous fuels and
the air-extracting equipment can be
prevented, or
● the extraction of exhaust gas from the air-
ventilated fireplaces is monitored by special
safety equipment. The ventilation unit or
the fireplaces must be switched off if the
equipment is triggered.
