4. Connection of Multiple Devices in
Direct Vent Operation
When the Sendai is operated as a direct vent mod-
el, more than one device can be connected to the
chimney under the following conditions:
CAUTION!
All connected fireplace stoves must be in
the same building unit or in the same ef-
fective area of the ventilation system.
The inlets for the combustion air ducts
are located in areas of equal pressure
(same pressure ratios), wind-induced
pressure fluctuations have to be avoided.

5. Fuel Load Sizes and Thermal Output
The thermal output depends on the amount of
fuel you put in the stove. When adding more fuel,
please do not exceed the maximum fuel load size
of 2 kg. Exceeding the maximum fuel load size
leads to a danger of overheating, which can result
in damage to the stove and the risk of a stove fire.
NOTE!
To attain a thermal output of approx. 6
kW, burn wood logs that weigh 1.5 kg and
are no longer than 25 cm in length for
about 45 min.
The Sendai is intended for intermittent operation,
please only apply one fuel layer at a time.
5.1 Wood Briquettes
You can also fuel your Sendai with wood briquettes
as specified in DIN 51731 Hb2 or of equal quality.
Please note that wood briquettes swell and expand
during combustion. As compared to the amount of
fuel when using logs, reduce the amount by ap-
prox. 10-20% based on the calorific value of the
wood briquettes. The control element settings and
procedure are the same as when burning logs.
6 . Initial Operation
NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture
can accumulate in the stove's interior,
which may possibly lead to the appear-
ance of condensation or water on the
stove or flue pipes. Please dry off these
damp areas immediately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sand-
blasting machine before applying the colour coat-
ing. Despite careful and thorough inspection, there
may still be some residual material in the stove
body, which can fall out when your stove is being
installed.
NOTE!
To prevent any damage, please immedi-
ately vacuum up these small steel pellets
with a vacuum cleaner.
The first time a stove is operated, the heat develop-
ment causes the emission of volatile components
from the coating, sealing strips and lubricants, and
smoke and odours can occur.
At a higher combustion temperature, this one-time
process can take between 4 to 5 hours.
To achieve this higher combustion temperature,
please increase the fuel quantity recommended
in Section 8, „Adding Fuel/ Heating with Nominal
Thermal Output", by approximately 25%.
