2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

General warning and safety information

Observance of the introductory general warning information is imperative.
Read the entire manual thoroughly before installing and putting the stove into
Q
service. Observe the national provisions and laws as well as the regulations
and rules applicable locally.
Only approved transport equipment with sufficient load carrying capacity
Q
may be used with your heating appliance.
Your heating appliance is not suitable for use as a ladder or stationary
Q
scaffolding.
The burning of fuel releases heat energy that lead to extensive heating of
Q
the stove surfaces, doors, door and operating handles, glass, flue pipes
and possibly the front wall. Refrain from touching these parts without
appropriate protective clothing or equipment e.g. heat-resistant gloves or
means of operation (operating handle).
Make your children aware of this particular danger and keep them away from
Q
the stove during heating.
Only burn approved heating materials
Q
The combustion or introduction of highly flammable or explosive materials
Q
such as empty spray cans etc. in the combustion chamber and storing them
near the stove is strictly prohibited due to the danger of explosion.
No light or inflammable clothing is to be worn when post-heating.
Q
Placing non-heat resistant objects on the stove or near it is prohibited.
Q
Do not place clothing on the stove to dry.
Q
Stands for drying clothes etc. must be placed at a sufficient distance to the
Q
stove – ACUTE DANGER OF FIRE!
When your stove is burning, the use of highly inflammable and explosive
Q
materials in the same or adjacent rooms is prohibited.
Pellet stoves are generally designed and developed to operate as an
Q
additional heat source (supplementary heating). The cleaning, as well as the
information about the wear are set accordingly in our manual. If the stove is
heated in continuous operation, the cleaning intervals are shorter. Increased
wear, especially of the thermally stressed parts, is the result. Please
therefore strictly follow the requirements for cleaning and maintenance!
Note
Waste and liquids may not be burnt in the stove!
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components,
do never cover the convection fins!
Note
Your stove will expand and contract during the heating and cooling phase.
This can sometimes lead to slight bending or cracking noises. This is normal
and is no reason for a complaint.

First heating

The stove body, just as various steel parts, cast iron parts and the flue pipes
are painted with a heat resistant paint. During the first heating the paint dries
out completely. This may cause a slight smell. Touching or cleaning the painted
surfaces during the curing should be avoided. The hardening of the paint is
finished after the first heating with high power.
Note
CAUTION when filling the supply container.
The pellet container opening is sufficient to ensure easy filling. Take great
care that no pellets drop onto the convection fins and the hot stove body. This
may lead to heavy smoke development.
Tip
We therefore recommend refilling the supply container when the stove is cold.

Safety distances Topo (minimal distance)

Note
1. To non-combustible objects
a > 40cm b > 10cm
2. To combustible objects and reinforced concrete load-bearing walls
a > 80cm b > 15cm
Tip
please observe a minimum distance of 20cm behind and sideways the stove
for maintenance.

Safety distances TopoXL (minimal distance)

Note
1. To non-combustible objects
a > 40cm b > 10cm
2. To combustible objects and reinforced concrete load-bearing walls
a > 80cm b > 15cm
Tip
You can put the TopoXL directly to the wall. But for service and maintenance
we recommend a minimum distance of 10cm behind the furnace in order
to dismantle the rear panel without allowing the machine to move. (lower
maintenance and service costs)
