Your Solea Madera wood-burning
stove at a single glance
The Solea Madera
The Solea Madera is a combination of comfort and
efficient heat output. The stove has an outside cover and
an interior chamber. This ensures that the stove radiates
70% of the heat output through convection to your
room while the remaining 0% heat is released through
radiation via the glass area. The automatic thermostat
valve regulates the air supply to your wood-burner when
all other openings are closed. Open the valve completely
when lighting the stove. Once the stove has heated
up, the valve will close automatically to minimize the
chance of overheating while you can enjoy the sight of
a generous fire.
In addition to the thermostat valve, the Solea has a
preheated glass pane cleaning system and an ingenious
extra air circulation system which uses flue gases for
afterburning. High-quality cast iron and the vermiculite
internal lining ensure optimum heat yield.
The Solea can make a 60° turn if the stove is placed on
a solid floor and straight under the chimney flue. Be sure
that the stove is not in operation when its glass panel
faces the wall. You can unlock the Solea with the knob
on the right hand side of the base for each 0° turn to
the left or to the right.
Please note: The glass side of the hearth must never face
6
the wall during lighting and for the following two hours
after.
Installation
It is common practice for the dealer where you purchased
your stove to also take care of installing it. If this is not
the case, please ensure that the installation is done by a
certified installer. A certified installer can also give you
the right advice about the flue tube to which the stove
must be connected. Connecting wood-burning stoves
by unqualified persons is prohibited, in which case we
cannot give any guarantee about proper functioning
of your stove. Please bear the fire safety in mind when
installing the stove. See also page 9.
The wood-burning stove is suitable as an extra heat
source and does not replace your principal heating
device.
It is not allowed to have wood-burning stoves connected
by unqualified installers. In such case we cannot give
any guarantee that the Solea will work properly.
Lighting your stove early in autumn or late in
winter
When the external and internal temperatures do
not differ much, a proper chimney draught is a real
challenge. You can help chimney draught get started
by burning some wood while keeping all air inlets
maximally open. An abundant air supply speeds up
quick heating which in turn increases the draught
in the chimney. Lighting up the stove with only a
little wood prevents smoke from streaming into the
room.
Lighting the stove
The stove will become very hot when you light it and
will need at least two hours to cool off. Don't touch the
stove without protection during firing and for two hours
after. Handle the stove always with a glove to avoid
getting serious burns.
