6. INSTALLING THE FIRE
Before fi rst commissioning or after changing the location of the
fi re, cleaning and service work, ensure that the fl ue plate, as
well as the wood stop
(LIST OF
is in the correct position. When usinga fl ue pipe with throttle
valve, the throttle valve must be open.
Care must be taken with this fi re that the fl ue draught reaches
at least the prescribed value (> 0.8 mbar). Should problems arise
here, please contact your master chimney sweep
A shared fl ue system is permissible.
Caution! Remove the sticker from the Ceran area before using
your fi re for the fi rst time.
Important: The Ceran area becomes very hot during use and
only cools down very slowly. There is an acute danger of bur-
ning up to one hour after fi re has gone out!
6.1. CONNECTING THE FIRE
Proceed as follows when fi tting a connection to a bricked
chimney:
1. Measure and draw in the chimney connection (taking a
possible fl oor plate thickness into account) as per the natural
dimension
2. Chisel out (drill) the holes in the wall
7. OPERATION
7.1. STARTING THE FIRE
(Safety clearances; page 4)
In order to keep exhaust emissions as low as possible, we
would ask you to keep to the following starting instructions.
1. If the fi re and chimney are still cold or if there is atmos-
pheric low pressure, then burning some paper at the start is
recommended, in order to "drive" the cold out of the fi re and
chimney.
2. To start heating fi rst lay untreated paper on the fl oor of the
combustion chamber, on top of that 0.5 kg soft wood chip and
1 kg wood (3 small billets).
Pull the shaker grate handle (Part II) out completely and open
the primary (Part I) and secondary air slide (Part III)
Please do not use glossy paper or paper from magazines. It
does not burn well and the print colours produce very poiso-
nous substances in the fl ue gas.

COMPONENTS; Part 24 and 25)
3. Brick in wall lining
First seal the wall lining using mineral wool insulation. After-
wards plaster using heat resistant cement mortar or equiva-
lent.
4. After the mortar has hardened, and after plastering and
painting , position the fl oor plate including the fl oor protec-
tion (carton).
The fi re must not be pushed along an unprotected fl oor.
Strong corrugated cardboard, carton, or an old carpet are ex-
cellently suited as an installation aid and an underlay. The fi re
can also be pushed on this underlay.
5. The fi re can now be lifted onto the fl oor plate carefully.
We recommend original fl ue pipes from the LOHBERGER fl ue
pipe range for professional connection. The connecting pi-
ece must not project into the chimney shaft! Seal the gap
between the fl ue pipe and wall lining using a ceramic seal.
The installation must comply with the respective safety and
construction regulations. Please contact your master chimney
sweep in this respect – he will be happy to give you informa-
tion
If you use a system chimney (e.g. glazed fi reclay), we would
ask you to follow the manufacturer's connection regulations
exactly.
3. Now light the paper. Wait until the soft wood chips are
burning well. Close the shaker grate handle and the primary
air slide a few minutes later. Set the secondary air slide to the
ideal setting a few minutes later.
4. After this has burned, lay approx 1.6 kg wood (3 billets)
on the fi re. Open the shaker grate handle and the primary
air slide until the wood is burning well (approx. 2 mins). The
secondary sir slide remains in the ideal setting. Proceed in the
same manner for each further layer.
5. The mineral parts of the wood (approx. 1%) remain on the
bottom of the combustion chamber as combustion residue.
This ash is – because it is a natural product - an excellent
fertiliser for all plants in the garden. However the ash should
be left to settle beforehand and doused with water.
