IMPORTANT Side air vents on chimneys with more than one stove connected not allowed. Clean stove, flue and chimney regularly. Do not lay any flue pipes horizontally for more than 1.25 m. Do not reduce flue pipe diameter from pipe connection to the chimney. Window and doors of the base frame should not be completely airtight because of the need for combustion air intake.
Riddle arrangement The grate can be riddled in any height position using the riddle bar (10). If it hot then the lid lever can be used (Fig. 8). Please do not tip any glowing ashes in the dust bin or outside. Temperature controller (12) The Temperature control regulates the rate of burning through the air intake and thereby the stove's heat level.
1.4 Heating and slow burning Heating with wood - Secondary air slide (11) "OPEN" Lay long and thick pieces of wood in at least two charges on thick embers. Split firewood improves the burning quality and controllability. Hardwood is more productive than soft- wood.
Cooking in summer Grate position "UP" temperature control to "3" secondary air slide "OPEN" At the warmer times of the year, the stove will mostly only be used to cook, and prepare domestic hot water. Here the "UP" grate position is used, to ensure that the room where the stove is and the hot water tank do not become excessively overheated.
1.8 Causes of faults Your stove is built to the latest technical know- how. Nevertheless faults may occur, which are caused by the chimney, fuel or the heating and plumbing. Fault Check / Rectify Stove smokes - open the ash door briefly. High outside temperatures - in summer cause poor chimney draught.
2. ARRANGEMENT For installation and for connection of flue, the requirements of the Fire Regulations (FeuVO in Germany) apply, as well as local building regulations such as the following technical standards DIN 4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160, EN 1856-2, EN 12828, EN 12831, EN 12897 and EN 15287.
The heating stove for open and closed systems Heating stove model K157/K158 is only allowed to operate with heat sink in closed sys- tems according to EN 12828, EN 12831 and EN 12897. If it is connected to an open sys- tem then our guarantee for corrosion damage becomes invalid.

3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Installing the top lid The top lid hinge spigots are inserted evenly into the plug holes in the stove frame (at back, left and right) (Fig. 23 & 24). 3.2 Flue gas connector direction The pipe connector is factory installed at the back of the stove. If a flue gas connection is required on the side, left or right, the following steps should be taken: Remove the pipe connector at the back by undoing the three fixing bolts M4 (Fig.
4. INSTRUCTIONS 4.1 General information The following directions and instructions concern questions of fundamental importance. It is further presupposed that the installer of a heating plant has the necessary technical and craftsman's basic knowledge for the task. This is naturally also the assumption where the stove is being incorporated as an integrated stove into an existing system.

Where there is a lower distribution ventilating valve it must be provided on each radiator. The radiators should not be inclined towards the ventilation. As radiators are usually at the same level on the floor where the stove is installed, these radiators should all be connected to a circulating pump as matter of course.
Before commissioning installation water must be fed through the filling and emptying cock until water flows out of the overflow on the open expansion vessel. In the case of a closed system, an over pressure of 1 to 1.5 bar must be created. In any case attention has to be paid to slowly filling the system and the exhausting air through the integrated ventilation valve before the above mentioned static pressure is reached or before the expansion ves- sel overflows.
5. TECHNICAL DATA Fuel Low smoke, trouble-free operation of the stove and a supply of heat at the nominal level with a chimney draught of 12 Pa are only guaranteed when you use the following fuels and no others. Only use natural, dry chopped firewood with a remaining humidity of max. 20% and lignite (brown coal) briquettes.
5.2 Heating output data The following table shows burning time, water output and heat emission (to the room where it is installed) of your stove under normal conditions according to EN 12815 con- cerning the charge quantities and control setting for the fuel materials coal and wood.

18. If repairs or replacements are necessary, please contact your supplier with the nec- essary article numbers and serial numbers in good time. Only original WAMSLER re- placement parts may be used. 19. Work such as installation, setup, commissioning and services, as well as repairs, must only be carried out by qualified personnel (heating system or space heating technicians).
