Operating Instructions - Plamen International SP 850 N Technical Instructions

Make sure that the cookstove is installed in a place allowing easy access for flue and
chimney cleaning operations.
Make sure that there are no combustibles in the immediate vicinity of the cookstove. The
cookstove may be installed only in a room where there is no risk of fire or explosion.
Minimum clearances between the cookstove and combustibles, such as wood,
chipboard, corkboard etc. should be strictly observed, in particular 800 mm in front of the
cookstove and 400 mm in other directions.
In case of highly inflammable materials, such as PVC, polyurethane, pressed wood
fibreboards etc., or materials of unknown inflammability, these clearances should be doubled.
If the cookstove is to be installed in a room with combustible or heat sensitive flooring, it
shall be placed on a solid, non-combustible floor protector. The floor protector must be
dimensioned to extend at least 800 mm to the front of the cookstove and 400 mm to other
directions.

Operating Instructions

Before the first firing, wipe all enameled surfaces and cooking plate first with a wet and
then with a dry cloth. Check the air supply control and flue damper (pos. 15) for proper
operation.
The cookstove performance and combustion depend on the fuel quality, adequate
chimney design and maintenance, proper flame adjustment, cleanliness of the cookstove and
correct firing and reloading.
The cookstove is designed to burn wood, wood briquettes and brown coal briquettes.
Use only well-seasoned, dry wood with low moisture content to reduce the likelihood of
greasy soot (creosote) buildup on the chimney walls, which may cause clogging of the
chimney.
Do not burn the household waste, especially not any plastic material. Many waste
materials contain substances that are harmful to the cookstove, the chimney and the
environment.
For best performance, i.e. to achieve the rated output, add two logs or briquettes every
half hour and set the air control to the position that suits best the desired flame level. Empty the
