Minimum cross section is to be 4 dm² (e.g. 20x20 cm) for chimneys with pipe cross section less
than 200 mm.
Your chimney has to feature good, but not excessive, smoke suction function. A too small
cross section diminishes the smoke suction function. The chimney is to be placed on sufficient
distance from all flammable or combustible materials via suitable isolation or air clearance. It is
forbidden to place air supply piping's or canals within the same space. It is also forbidden to place
openings for installation of various other appliances in this space.
The chimney suction capacity also depends on the cap.
The chimney cap has to meet the following requirements:
a)
inner cross section has to correspond to the chimney cross section,
b)
the chimney output cross section has to be double the size of the inner,
c)
it has to be designed so as to prevent inflow of precipitation or any other foreign object
into the chimney,
d)
it has to be easily accessible in order to facilitate cleaning and maintenance.
In cases of two adjacent chimneys, one chimney cap is to be higher than the other for at least
50 cm in order to avoid pressure transference between the two.
The chimney cap cannot feature any obstacles for at least 10 m from the walls, roof slopes and
trees.
For chimney dimensioning the following data is valid:
Nominal thermal power
Mass flue gas flow m
Mean flue gas temperature
Chimney underpressure at nominal thermal power
Chimney underpressure at 0,8-times nominal thermal power
4 INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

ALLOWED / NOT ALLOWED FUELS

The stove is aimed for firing wood, i.e. fuel with low ash contents, such as: beech, hornbeam,
birch. It would be advisable to keep the wood dry and its moisture less than 20%. When moist
wood is fired, soot appears which can clog the chimney. Moist wood hardens the firing process
since it requires more energy to evaporate the water. Fresh wood contains up to 60% of water so
it is not suitable as fuel.
In the event of the use of wood briquettes keep in mind that having a higher calorific value
and that the device can be damaged by overheating.
The use of the following fuel is not allowed: coal residue, wood residue, wood crust residue,
boards, moist wood or paint and varnish treated wood, plastic materials. Do not fire plywood
residue since plywood contains glue which can overheat the stove. Firing these residue
materials is prohibited by law and can damage both the stove and the chimney, as well as have
negative effects on human health. In case you use these materials, the stove warranty is no
longer valid.
Paper and cardboard are to be applied for kindling only. Wood is not long-burning and will
not keep the stove hot overnight.
