1. GENERAL DATA IMPORTANT! Carefully select the heater for the volume of the room. A heater with a small heating capacity will require a more intensive heating during a longer time, which will shorten its service life. Kindly note that: When selecting a heater, it is necessary to give consideration to the material of the walls and the ceiling of the room of installation.
2.2. Heater design and operation Note: overall view and location of the heater main elements are shown in Appendix 2. Internal design and operation of the heater is shown in Appendix 3. Firebox, as well as other critical elements of the heater, is made of corrosion-resistant steel of AISI 439 grade.
of burns), as well as has a greater heat capacity compared to metal cladding, which allows a longer heat retention. Stone cladding has the form of panels with a fastening system, which significantly speeds up the heater assembly and installation. IMPORTANT! Unauthorized modification of the heater is prohibited.
The moisture contained in the firewood has a significant impact on the combustion process and the heater efficiency, hence to reduce the rate of soot formation on the walls of the chimney and the flues of the firebox, it is necessary to use the recommended fuel types. Owing to the special design, Retro has an economical fuel consumption, from 2-5 kg/h, depending on the selected operating mode, characteristics and thermal insulation of the room, combustion material quality, etc.

Partly close the ash drawer after heating up of the chimney and development of stable draft (usually after burning of the first load of firewood, approximately in 30-45 minutes), leaving a gap within 10 mm. It is necessary to constantly ensure sufficient draft, while avoiding the development of excessive one (it can manifest itself as humming of the heater, too erratic flame), that leads to heating of the firebox red hot, which significantly reduces the heater service life.
IMPORTANT! Partial burning out of heat-resistant enamel is possible on the most thermally loaded • elements of the heater during operation, which is not a manufacturing defect. The firebox metal may become slightly deformed during operation, which is not a •...
The stones deteriorate with time as the heater is operated, this is why it is necessary to turn them over and reposition in the stone heater at least once a year, when the heater is frequently operated. Remove the destroyed stones and their parts from the stone heater, replace them with new ones.
stone chips and replace them with intact stones. Replace the stones with diameters less than the ones specified in Table 1 with larger ones. 4) Fault: The operating mode of the heater cannot be controlled during wind /heater firing/ low chimney draft during operation. Smoke partly escapes through the firebox door. Smoke enters the bath house.

IMPORTANT! Familiarize yourself with the manufacturer’s detailed instructions on the safe distances and installation of steel chimney elements, as well as the water tank. Some installation options are depicted in Figure 5. 3.2.2. Heater connection to a steel chimney that can be coupled with each other, and that form a single duct for flue gas withdrawal. Chimneys can be installed directly from the heater through the ceiling and roof, or at an angle through the wall.

requirements of the operation manual is at least 10000 hours. Commercial usage: The service life of models with fireboxes made of AISI 439 grade steel while meeting the requirements of the operation manual is at least 3500 hours. The service life of models with fireboxes made of AISI 310 grade steel while meeting the requirements of the operation manual is at least 7000 hours.
APPENDIX 4. Heater parts installation IMPORTANT! Before commencing assembling and installation of the heater, make sure the complete delivery package is present, as well as the installed parts, namely: funnels for water supply, lid of inner stone heater, cleanout cap, ash drawer. IMPORTANT! The works shall be carried out in an extremely careful way, eliminating the possibility of damage to the paint coating and cladding panels.

Control handle Each of the four handles has a mounting thread with the help of which the handles are attached to the heater elements at an angle of 45. After installation, each handle must be locked on the reverse side with another nut (included into delivery package). When installing the handles, they to be placed over the least heated parts of the heater: do not place them in front of convection holes, metal surface and door glass.
