ENERGA 80-50 CHIMNEY Every fi re needs its own chimney. Multiple connections to one main chimney is not permitted. Ensure that any existing chimney is completely air-tight and in good condition. It must be suitable to accommodate the appliance in question. Make sure your chimney has a proper cap to prevent rain getting in and birds nesting on it.
ENERGA 80-50 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1 REQUIREMENTS RELATING TO THE USE OF EXISTING CHIMNEYS The adapter material for the connection with the chimney must be made of at least 2 mm thick sheet steel and must be insulated with a heat-resistant material 3 cm in thickness.

ENERGA 80-50 STOKING UP FOR THE FIRST TIME If you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built, fi rst allow your home to dry properly. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the fi...
ENERGA 80-50 7.1 VENTILATION Air is a vital component of the combustion process. Ensure that there is a suffi cient supply of fresh air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the fi re (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed.
ENERGA 80-50 When setting the fi re, move the locking slider all the way to the right. If necessary, leave the door ajar for 10 minutes. Do not open the door wide, as the window will remain cold. If the door is shut during this time, smoke will condense on the glass and form soot.
Page 52
When loading the fi re, the following quantity of wood is suffi cient. Energa 80-50 : 3 blocks c. 30 cm long and 30 cm perimeter Do not add more fuel until the previous fuel has burned down to the charcoal stage.
ENERGA 80-50 7.4 HEATING ECONOMICALLY The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is to have your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange and should not glow like a blacksmith’s fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.
ENERGA 80-50 7.6 REMOVING AND RETURNING THE HOLDER WITH THE PARTICULATE FILTER, FLUE GAS FLAP AND RETARDANT PLATE (BRAKE PLATE) Before sweeping the chimney, the holder with the particulate fi lter and the fl ue gas fl ap must be removed.
Page 55
ENERGA 80-50 Removing the holder with the particulate fi lter • First slide the holder with particulate fi lter as far forward as possible. Then remove this by fi rst lifting it on the left and taking it out downwards to the right.
ENERGA 80-50 • Remove the retardant plate by tilting it upwards slightly, sliding it backwards and removing it diagonally to one side. (Original position of retardant plate is between the 4 spacers.) REPLACING THE PARTICULATE FILTER • Remove the holder from the appliance •...
ENERGA 80-50 • After installation: Slide the holder, on the supports, completely to the back. Bottom view from the combustion chamber. ADJUSTING THE FLUE GAS FLAP • Check whether the door depresses the operating pin suffi ciently to close completely the fl...

ENERGA 80-50 2. Check by using the door if the fl ue gas fl ap goes past the mark. 3. If necessary, adjust the operating pin with an Allen key and open-end wrench. 4. Remove the mark.
ENERGA 80-50 GENERAL HINTS 8.1 TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
ENERGA 80-50 8.2 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.
• All sorts of clean wood (forested). The wood must have been dried for at least two years. Well-dried wood has a humidity percentage between 10 and 20%. Recommended dimensions: • Energa 80-50: length: c. 30 cm outline: c. 30 cm •...
If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.
ENERGA 80-50 10.2 HEAT RADIATION The table below shows the temperatures which can theoretically be achieved by burning wood. Heat radiation Sort of fuel kWh/kg Dry wood (average) Briquettes (average) The heating value of wood (18.7 MJ/kg at 0% humidity) is not affected by the sort of wood.
• Sliders/dampers Check function annually • Convection channels Clean annually • Paint Annually, if necessary touch up with BARBAS heat-resistant paint (do not paint when the fi re is in use!) • Parts Individual parts for replacement/accessories are available from your BARBAS dealer Use only original parts •...

Can a wood-burning stove/built-in fi re be connected to a central heating installation? The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it !! At what temperature does/do the convection fan(s) start up? If the appliance is fi...
Page 72
ENERGA 80-50 How do I know if I’m heating correctly? Follow the instructions in this manual. The fl ames should play softly across the wood and the wood should burn evenly. Once the fi re has been burning for a short time, the smoke from the chimney should be almost translucent.
Page 73
ENERGA 80-50 Do I have to take any extra measures if the room I am heating has an extractor fan (mechanical ventilation)? If the combustion air comes from the living-room: A fl ue gas fan is required for permanent extraction of the area in which the fi replace is placed.
