Combustion Air Supply; Installing The Stove; Assembly Sequence; Operation - Olsberg Escala Instructions

If the delivery pressures are too high, a delivery
pressure limiter (e.g. supplementary air device in the
chimney) must be fitted. It is purposeful to re-
determine the delivery pressure when starting up the
stove. The measurement should be taken when the
chimney is warm.

Combustion air supply

Ensure an adequate combustion air supply.
Important: The combustion air inlet and convection
air openings may not be closed or covered!
Note: Extractor hoods or ventilation systems oper-
ated together with the fireplace in the same air com-
partment space can cause problems. Permissibility of
the joint operation must be clarified before the instal-
lation takes place.
External combustion air connection
In order to feed the combustion air to the stove ex-
ternally via a pipe instead of from the room in which it
is installed, it is possible to screw a ∅125 mm com-
bustion air pipe to the back of the stove, at the bot-
tom. If the combustion air pipe installed is longer than
3m, calculations will have to be carried out to verify
an adequate supply of combustion air.

Installing the stove

The floor on which the stove is installed must be
even and horizontal. The stove may only be installed
on an adequate load-bearing floor. The stove can be
stood on a metal floor sheet or glass sheet to protect
the flooring. If the flooring or carpet is inflammable, a
stable, heatproof base must be used. This must ex-
tend 50 cm to the front and 30 cm to each side be-
yond the edge of the combustion chamber opening.

Assembly sequence

•
Decide where the stove is to be installed. There
must be no objects made of combustible materi-
als within a distance of 80 cm of the stove's ra-
diation area, measured from the combustion
chamber's inspection glass, nor may any be
placed within this area subsequently.
Minimum distance from combustible or load-
bearing walls: Lateral and rear: 20 cm
•
Install the pipe lining (provided on site) in the
chimney.The connection height can be individu-
ally specified for a top stovepipe connection,
however should not exceed 1.5 m from the con-
nector sleeve.
•
Place the stovepipe (provided on site) on the
Ø160/Ø150mm transition piece of the stove.
•
Push the stove onto its planned position and
orient it so that the stovepipe fits into the pipe lin-
ing.
The stovepipe connections must be airtight. The
stovepipe must not protrude into the chimney.

Operation

Permissible fuels
The following fuels are approved:
•
Natural shopped wood in the form of billet wood
Maximum length:
Circumference:
•
Wood briquettes to DIN 51731
Size class HP 2
Maximum length: 20 cm
•
Brown coal briquette
Billet wood reaches a moisture content of 10 to 15
% after being stored outdoors for 2 to 3 years (only
covered at the top) and is then ideally suited for heat-
ing.
Freshly cut wood has a very high moisture content
and so burns badly. Apart from the very low calorific
value it is also harmful for the environment. The in-
creased condensate and tar formation can lead to
fireplace and chimney sooting.
You will only achieve optimum combustion and heat
in an environmentally friendly way with these fuels.
Adding the fuel in small quantities avoids unneces-
sary emissions. Clean burning can be identified by
the fact that the firebrick becomes a light colour.
According to the (German) Federal Immissions
Control Act, it is forbidden e.g. to burn the follow-
ing fuels in stoves:
•
Moist wood or wood treated with wood pre-
servatives
•
Sawdust, chippings, grinding dust
•
Bark and chipboard waste
•
Slack coal
•
Other wastes
•
Paper and cardboard (except for igniting)
•
Straw
Please note before heating for the first
time
•
Remove all accessories from the ash pan and
combustion chamber first.
•
The odour given off by the evaporation of the
protective coating disappears after the stove has
been burning for several hours (ventilate the
room well).
•
The stove has a high quality temperature resis-
tant coat, which does not achieve its final
strength until the stove has been heated for the
first time.
- You should therefore never leave anything on
the stove and not touch the surfaces as the paint
coat could otherwise be damaged.
