Installation guideline Preparatory measures The fireplace should be hermetically connected to a well-functioning chimney, sufficiently enclosed to keep combustible materials (floor and walls) at a distance, and should be installed in a room with sufficient ventilation. Please. inform. about. national. or. local. norms. and. regulations. concerning. this. subject..Your. distributor.will.give.you.the.necessary.advice.

• The flue’s diameter should be the same throughout its whole length. Wider, or especially narrower segments will disrupt the smoke flow and are best avoided. The same is true for.a.cover.plate.or.exhaust.hood.on.top.of.the.chimney..The.exhaust.hood.must.not.nar- row.the.chimney’s.outlet.and.should.be.designed.in.a.way.that.wind.will.not.hinder,.but. promote the smoke flow. • Especially if the flue runs through unheated rooms or outside the house, further insula- tion.is.necessary..Metal.chimneys,.or.parts.of.the.chimney.outside.heated.rooms.should.

Floor, walls A.safe.distance.should.be.kept.between.the.stove.and.combustible.materials.such.as.wooden. walls.and.furniture..Fot.this.distance.see.annex. The appliance shall be installed on floors with an adequate load-bearing capacity. Combustible floors require sufficient protection against radiant heat by means of a fireproof protective.plate..Rugs.and.carpets.must.be.kept.at.a.distance.of.at.least.eighty.centimetres. from the fire.
Preparation Please inspect the fireplace for damage caused during transport immediately after delivery and notify.your.distributor.in.case.there.are.any.defects..Do.not.put.the.appliance.into.operation. in.the.meantime. In order to avoid damaging the fireplace during installation and to make its handling easier, it is recommended to remove previously all loose parts (fire-resistant bricks, grille, ashtray, ...).from.the.stove..Note.the.location.of.those.parts.while.removing.them,.so.that.you.have.no.

Assembling the baffle plate Assembling outside combustion air connection back or bottom (if necessary) You.can.connect.the.external.air.supply.from.either.beneath.or.behind.the.base.(diameter.100. mm). Use. the. plastic. sealing. ring. supp- The. air. intake. in. the. base. plate. must. be. closed. lied.to.seal.the.base with.the.cast.iron.cover.plates.supplied.
Finishing When the stove is placed in the final position and hermetically connected to the chimney, you can.replace.all.of.the.loose.parts. Your.stove.is.now.ready.for.use. Attention: never light a fire with the inner plates or refractory stones removed. Packaging materials Packaging.materials.should.be.disposed.of.in.a.responsible.way.and.in.accordance.with.go- vernmental.regulations.
Instructions for use Fuel The.only.suitable.fuels.for.this.stove.are.wood,.brown.coal.briquettes.and.charcoal..No.other. fuels are allowed to be burnt, as they can inflict serious damage to your stove. Do.not.burn.any.treated.wood.either,.such.as.scrap.wood,.dyed.wood,.impregnated.or.pre- served.wood,.plywood.or.chipboard..The.fumes.of.these,.as.of.synthetic.materials,.old.papers. and.household.waste,.are.highly.polluting.for.both.your.stove.and.your.chimney,.and.for.the. environment. They also could cause chimney fires. Wood Hard.woods,.such.as.oak,.birch-.and.fruit-trees,.are.the.ideal.fuels.for.your.stove. The.wood.must.have.dried.for.at.least.two.years.in.a.covered.and.well-ventilated.place..Split. logs.will.dry.faster..Dry.wood.should.contain.no.more.than.twenty.percent.moisture. Wet.logs.are.unsuitable.for.burning,.as.they.do.not.produce.enough.heat.and.all.of.the.energy. is.lost.in.the.process.of.evaporation..Moreover,.the.burning.of.wet.wood.causes.badly.smel- ling.gases.to.be.released.and.a.thick.layer.of.tar.will.deposit.on.the.stove.panels.and.in.the. chimney. Brown coal briquettes Brown.coal.briquettes.burn.in.more.or.less.the.same.way.as.wood.does..You.should.only.burn.
Lighting a fire In order to create sufficient draught and to prevent smoke from emanating into your living room, the chimney should be warm enough before lighting a fire. A cold chimney can be hea- ted up by lighting a ball of paper above the fire plate. To kindle the fire in the stove you can use paper and/or firelighters and small pieces of wood.
Low intensity fires cause tar and. creosote. to. deposit. in. the.chimney.after.a.long.pe- riod. of. time..Tar. and. creo- sote.are.highly.combustible. substances.. Thicker. layers. of. these. substances. might. catch fire when the tempe- rature.in.the.chimney.incre- ases. suddenly. and. steeply.. Therefore.it.is.necessary.for. the fire to regularly burn very intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Maintenance It.takes.only.little.effort.to.keep.your.appliance.in.good.condition. Regularly.check.whether.the.sealing.cord.still.closes.the.doors.tightly.enough. Minor.paint.damage.can.be.touched.up.with.a.can.of.spray.paint..Your.dealer.can.supply.you. with.the.correct.spray.product.. During the first use after repainting your unit might give off some slight odour. However, this will.disappear.quickly. The.glass.can.be.cleaned.with.a.number.of.glass.cleaning.products.available.on.the.market.. Your.installer.can.also.supply.you.with.appropriate.products..However,.never.use.abrasive.or. corrosive.cleaning.products. At.the.end.of.the.heating.season,.seal.off.the.chimney.with.a.ball.of.paper..You.can.then.tho- roughly.clean.the.stove.on.the.inside. If necessary, replace the sealing ropes and use fire cement to fill up possible leaks. Remove the fireplate for better and more thorough cleaning.
