The metal container is firmly installed in an open area, which is cleaned of combustible materials within a radius of two meters. The distance to this site from buildings, structures and other structures should be at least five meters. In order to localize the combustion process in a timely manner, the container intended for incineration of garbage should be used with a metal sheet, the size of which should allow the specified container to be completely closed from above.Gorenje It is forbidden to use a metal container for incineration of garbage that has through holes or burnouts for incineration of garbage.

During the period of burning and the use of an open flame until the cessation of the smoldering process, control over the non-proliferation of gorenje beyond the focal zone should be carried out.
