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 30 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 25 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 60 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 (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
Common (standard) stovepipes and elbows of inner diameter Ø150 mm, with incorporated
damper, are recommended for the connection to the chimney.
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.
The stove shall be installed in full compliance with European, national, as well as local applicable
regulations.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
First firing
Considering that the stove is made of cast iron, tendency of this material to develop cracks due to
sudden and uneven heat loads shall be taken into account. Therefore keep the fire at a moderate
level at the beginning. Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled newspaper and dry kindling.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to proceeding with the first firing, spread a sufficient quantity of ash or sand over the bottom
plate of the firebox to cover the undulated ribs but make sure to leave the holes on the pan cover
free.
When cleaning, i.e. removing the ash, make sure that sufficient ash is left to cover the entire lower
plate at the level of undulated ribs. The stove is not designed with a conventional grate but with a pan
cover. It serves only for the removal of the ash into the ash tray and to facilitate the supply of fresh air
to support combustion.
The stove is not designed with a conventional grate but with a pan cover. It serves only for the
removal of the ash into the ash tray and to facilitate the supply of fresh air to support combustion.
To re-establish the fire from the ember bed, clean the cover holes with the firebox scraper, gather
some embers onto the cover, add some kindling, open the air supply control device and close the
door. If good quality wood is used, frequent ash cleaning is not required. Make sure that the ash
does not clog the openings on lateral panels for primary air inlet.
The stoves designed without a grate ensure long-lasting ember bed and the fire needs not be
extinguished except before ash removal. Read the instructions concerning the air supply control
included under the titles "Firing and regular operation" and "Output adjustment".
The stove is painted with a heat resistant paint. With the first firing, this paint gradually sets and
some fumes of a characteristic odour may be given off in the process. Therefore ventilate the room
during this phase.
