PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 Ÿ Avoid chimney fi res! Have your chimney swept at least once per year - more often if you use your fi re a lot. Prevent excessive deposits of soot inside the chimney by not burning freshly-cut wood. Instead, burn clean, dry chopped wood.
Page 7
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 Ÿ Prevent over-fi ring (white glow) by charging up the fi re with primary air (through the grid) over an extended period. Cast-iron components (grid, fi re cladding) may become overheated and be damaged as a consequence.
Check all functions of the fi replace before fi tting. Barbas can provide scale drawings for fi tting a fi replace for each of the models it produces. Never work on the basis of other information such as folders etc.
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 3. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 3.1. FITTING THE FIREPLACE When fi tting one of these fi tted fi res local and/or national regulations relating to fi re safety must be followed. In case of doubt, consult the fi re safety department of the local fi...

PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 3.3. FITTING A fi tted fi replace can be fi tted in the newly-built or existing chimney breast of an open fi re. When fi tting, both fi re safety and operational safety must be safeguarded. The fi tter is responsible for this.
Page 11
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 3.3.2. Fitting in an existing chimney breast Ÿ Remove the existing fi re basket or stoking stones and remove the shut-off fl ap. The chimney must be intact and must not be damaged during fi tting. The chimney breast opening must be big enough for a gap of 1 - 3 cm to be left all round the appliance.

PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 3.4. HEAT TRANSFER WITH BUILT-IN FANS The heat transfer can be amplifi ed by transporting the heat with fans. With this system, hot air is blown into the room. The fans only cut in at the point that the fi re...
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 5. 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...
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 6.1. 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.
Page 16
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 When loading the stove with fuel, two blocks measuring 32 cm long and 32 cm in diameter is suffi cient. Do not add more fuel until the previous fuel has burned down to the charcoal stage. Do not leave the door open longer than necessary.
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 Stoking up the fi re when the primary air slide is open and the fi re is blazing will have the effect of making the fi re rage in white heat, which can cause damage to the grate and other cast-iron parts of the stove.
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 7. GENERAL HINTS 7.1. TIPS Ÿ 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...
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 7.2. OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: Ÿ Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. Ÿ Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 8. FUELS 8.1. WOOD Suitable fuels are: Ÿ 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%. Ÿ Compressed wood blocks without binder.
fi re, the hotter it will become and overheating may even occur. 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.

Ÿ Slides/fl aps Check function annually Ÿ Convection channels Clean annually Ÿ Paint Annually, if necessary touch up with BARBAS heat-resistant paint (do not use with open fi res) Ÿ Parts Individual parts for replacement/ accessories are available from your BARBAS dealer Use only original parts Ÿ...

Can a wood-burning stove/fi tted 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) cut in? Wood-burning stoves are not fi...

PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 What is wrong with a smoking chimney? A seriously smoking chimney means that combustion is less than optimum. There may be a number of reasons for this. If the fi re has only just caught on, or has recently been topped up, some smoke is normal.
Page 33
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 The wood burns up too quickly. What should I do? Ensure that air cannot get in underneath the fuel. Close the primary air slides, ash drawer and ridling grill. Under these conditions, the layer of ash should no longer burn bright orange/white but red.
Page 34
PANOLUX 52 PANOLUX 65 What happens when wood is burnt? The combustion process. The combustion of wood involves the following steps. Drying The fi rst step is that the fuel (wood) dries out. Even at low temperatures (<100°C), any moisture still in the wood will evaporate. This drying procedure implies a signifi...
