Important - Plamen Amity 3 Description Technique

Ambient conditions
If the stove is to be installed in a room with combustible or heat sensitive flooring, a solid non-combustible
floor protector is required under the stove. The floor protector should be dimensioned to extend at least 40 cm to
the back and lateral sides and 60 cm to the front of the stove.
The minimum clearance between the stove (sides and rear) and materials sensitive to heat is 40 cm. The
minimum clearance between the stove and materials sensitive to heat within the area directly exposed to heat in
front of the stove shall be 120 cm.
The stove should be positioned on a level surface, in a room with sufficient fresh air supply to support the
combustion. If an aspirator (range or fireplace hood) or any other air consuming device is installed in the same
room, make sure to provide for regular inflow of fresh air through a separate opening protected with a clog-proof
grid.
Chimney connection
For the connection to the chimney, ordinary (standard) stovepipes and elbows with incorporated damper are
recommended.
Make sure that the stovepipe and elbow are tightly fastened together and that the connections of the
stovepipe with the flue outlet and with the chimney outlet are firm and tight. The stovepipe shall not extend beyond
the chimney liner, i.e. it must not protrude into the cross section of the chimney.
When installing the stove, relevant local, national and European regulations shall be strictly observed.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
First firing
Given the fact that the stove is produced in cast iron, it is important to bear in mind that this particular material
is sensitive to extreme temperature variations and that it could crack under uneven thermal load. Therefore, with
first firing of the stove (at least 10 hours), burn moderate fire (charging should not be more than half the
recommended amount of fuel for the rated power). Use newspapers and dry, smaller pieces of wood to start the
fire.

IMPORTANT;

Prior to the first firing do not forget to place a layer of ash or sand on the lower firebox plate so that it covers the
corrugated surface, but leave the basket cover free (position 178).
When cleaning, i.e. removing the ash, leave enough ash to keep the whole lower plate covered up until the
corrugated surface level. This will add to the stove efficiency and continuous heating, as well as protect the lower
plate.
The stove does not feature a classical roast; it has a basket cover which serves to facilitate the ash removal
into the ashtray.
The ash does not have to be removed frequently if you use high-quality wood. It is important that you keep the
ash level away from covering the primary air flow on the sides of the stove.
This type of product features high quality and fire does not have to be extinguished as long as you do not have
to remove the piled-up ash.
Please, study the air regulation on the stove as described in the Manual under Firing and Normal Use and
Power Regulation.
The stove is colored in thermally-resistant color which will start hardening with the first firing, resulting in
characteristic odor and possible appearance of smoke, which is why it is important to keep the space well aired.
Warning! The paint might be damaged if the first firing is not at moderate heat.
Do not place any items on the stove at first firing and avoid touching the colored stove surfaces since this
could cause damages on the still uncured color layers.
Suitable fuel
Amity 3 stove is designed to burn wood, i.e. the fuel having a low ash content such as beech, hornbeam and
birch wood.
Use only well-seasoned dry wood with a humidity content not exceeding 20%, to reduce the likelihood of
greasy soot (creosote) buildup, which may cause clogging of the chimney.
In the event of the use of wood briquettes keep in mind that having a higher calorific value and that the device
can be damaged by overheating.
materials contain substances that are harmful to the stove, the chimney and the environment.
Do not burn household waste, especially not any plastic material. Many waste
