2. Our contribution towards climate
protection
During combustion, wood only emits the same amount of Co2 that
it previously held as a tree. It makes no difference whether the wood
burns or rots in the forest.
Thus heating with wood corresponds to the natural biological cycle.

Please read the information in this manual carefully before
you install or start up your appliance for the first time. Failure
to do so causes the warranty to become null and void!

lost, we will be happy to send you a new copy. You will find
important information in it as regards safety, use, proper care
and maintenance of the appliance, so that you can enjoy

cal customer service.
• Before connecting the appliance to the chimney, inform the local
qualified chimney sweep.
• Pay attention to the chimney requirements for heating systems.
Before starting-up the appliance for the first time, the local quali-
fied chimney sweep has to certify the suitability and readiness for
operation of new or existing chimneys by a declaration of con-
formity. The owner has to ensure that the chimney is free from
obstructions (no coverings or blockages). Because of low exhaust
gas temperatures when the seasons change the chimney must be
leak-free and humidity-resistant. Make sure that flue and exhaust
gas can escape freely to the outside.
• Before starting-up the appliance, check it for damage (e.g. glass
items, seals, etc.).
• Ensure a correct installation and start-up carried out by your local
specialist dealer. The safety of the appliance can only be assured if
it has been installed by a trained technician in compliance with the
standards and regulations applicable at the place of installation.
• Make sure that the requirements of the applicable laws and
standards as well as the local fire protection laws and building
regulations are adhered to. Please consult the local qualified
chimney sweep regarding the assessment of building and technical
conditions.
• Prior to the first start-up check all connections of the appliance
(chimney flue connection, etc.).
• Make sure that there are no objects in the combustion chamber.
• Avoid overheating the stove. Make sure that you never load more
firewood than required for the rated heating output (approx. 1 to
2 kg). The warranty does not cover any resulting damage.
• Do not obstruct the appliance during heating as this could lead
to a flash fire.
• only use suitable fuels by choosing environmentally sustainable,
high-quality and dry fuels.
• To prevent the escape of flue gases into the room where the appli-
ance is installed, keep the combustion chamber door closed at all
times except when lighting a fire, adding fuel or removing ashes.
• When operating open-flued stoves, make sure that there is an
adequate supply of fresh air in the room where the appliance is
installed.
• The stove must not be modified, except with original stove com-
ponents, provided and tested by us or by work performed by our
service technicians.
• only install original spare parts provided by your local specialist
dealer. Parts that are subject to wear and tear (e.g. seals), com-
ponents exposed to high thermal stress (fireclay, cast-iron parts)
or broken stove parts should be replaced or exchanged as soon
as possible.
• The appliance connections for the flue tube and the combustion
air must not be modified. Make sure that the combustion air duct
and the exhaust duct are free from obstructions before starting up
and during operation of the appliance!
• Make sure that your appliance is cleaned and maintained at regular
intervals in order to ensure the functionality and efficiency. Your chim-
ney sweep will also be happy to clean the fireplace. only clean and
properly adjusted appliances work efficiently.
