Plamen 850 Glas Instructions Techniques page 15

For best performance, i.e. to achieve the above nominal output, add two logs and set
the air control to the position that suits best the desired flame level. Empty the ash pan
regularly. Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled newspaper and well-seasoned dry
kindling.
Set the air control to fully open position and pull out the damper rod. At outdoor
temperatures above 15°C there might be some problems with the firing due to insufficient
negative pressure within the chimney (poor draught). In that case, try to achieve the
sufficient negative pressure by firing the chimney directly. Never use spirit, petrol or similar
fuel to start the fire. Do not keep inflammable liquids near the cooker.
Keep the firebox door always firmly shut, except when reloading the cooker. The
cooker should be regularly cleaned and inspected by a chimney sweeper or some other
qualified person. The chimney, the flue channels and pipes shall be cleaned at least 6
times a year. Clean the cooker with maximum caution and only when completely cooled
down. Remove and clean the top plate and flue pipe. Brush off the soot built up on the
internal walls and pull the oven bottom plate out to discharge soot and ash. Clean and
inspect the cooker every time after a prolonged suspension of operation.
To control the flame, add fuel as necessary and control the air supply by means of the
air control. Minimum output (low flame) is achieved by setting the air supply to minimum. In
case of overload (flame too high), set the air control to minimum and wait for the flame to
abate gradually.
When using the oven, particularly for bread and other leavened dough baking,
proceed, in order to avoid burning on top, as follows:
-Flue damper rod shall be pushed inwards
-Pre-heat the oven to 170-190 °C
-Add only one smaller log at a time to keep the fire at a moderate level for even baking
on all sides. It is recommendable to turn the baking pan once during the baking.
-Fast boiling and better cook plate heating is achieved with the flue damper in open
position, i.e. with the knob being pulled out.
Always bear in mind that the cooker parts, and particularly the top plate, INOX knobs,
firebox door, handrail and damper rod, are hot and that only adults may operate the cooker.
FOR THAT PURPOSE USE A PROTECTIVE GLOVE!
The cooker must not be subject to any unauthorised repairs and/or modifications.
Such operations may be performed only by qualified persons and only original spare parts
should be used.
During normal operation, particularly if the cooker is fired with wet wood, soot and tar
build up, posing a risk of fire in the chimney if it is not regularly inspected and cleaned. If the
chimney catches fire, proceed as follows:
-Do not use water to extinguish the fire
-Close all air inlets to the cooker and chimney
-After the fire has gone out, call a chimney sweeper to inspect the chimney
-Call authorised service, i.e. the Manufacturer to inspect the cooker.
It's used for cleaning enamel and painted parts using soap and water, non-abrasive or
chemically non-aggressive detergents.
