Distance to Combustible Material For combustible material, such as combustible walls, furniutre, etc., for reasons of safety a number of minimum distances apply. The following minimum distances apply: 100 mm behind 400 mm to the side 800 mm forward Distance to non-combustible material For non-combustible material, there should be a distance of 80-100 mm in order that the stove may release and distribute the heat while you may clean on and around the stove.

Chimney A good draught in your chimney is paramount to how well a stove will burn. Note that there should be access to cleaning doors. The effective height of your chimney should typically range between 3.5 and 4.5 metres. Effective height is to be understood as the distance from the stove top to the top of the chimney.
Floor When placing your new Lotus stove on the floor, it should be put on a non- combustible plate, for instance of steel or stone material. The plate should be so large that it will reach a minimum of 30 cm in front of the stove, and 15 cm at each side of the fireplace opening.

Wood quantity and register setting may be varied as individually required for heating and the draught of the particular chimney. The stove has been tested with birch wood of a humidity of appr. 18%. Convection damper (Only Sola M & Sola MST) With the damper on top of the stove it is possible to limit the amount of convection air.
Cleaning of Stove All Lotus stoves have been factory surface treated with original Senotherm lacquer in ”coke” or ”grey” colour. Due to this treatment, the stove will, during the first kindlings, exude a special odour but that will vanish after a few times.
Wood for your Lotus stove should have a diameter of 7-9 cm and be max. appr. 30 cm long as it will otherwise come too close to the stove sides (at the DS testing 25 cm long wood has been used).
