Visual inspection of the goods in their unpackaged condition

Before unpacking the received goods, you must visually inspect them while still in their packaging to check

for any damage. In the event of claims against the delivering shipping company, it is essential to indicate any

damage on the delivery note and to record this with photos. CB stone-tec must be informed immediately of

any damage.

Basic installation requirements

Your VAIO wood-burning stove must be installed by a skilled technician. Before installing your VAIO

wood-burning stove, you must contact your authorised local chimney sweep to discuss the suitability of

your chimney system, the site of installation and any other questions.

Natural stone is a natural product

In choosing your fireplace, you have opted for a one-of-a-kind product. Your VAIO product is one-of-a-

kind because it is clad with natural stone.

Every natural stone is a natural product that has developed over millions of years. For this reason,

every natural stone is unique and naturally different to all other stones. Every stone has its own grains,

inclusions and structures – and depending on the type of stone, these feature can be almost invisible

or also very prominent.

1. General information

VAIO Operating and installation instructions

Cleaning the natural stone cladding

The VAIO natural stone elements should only be cleaned using CB stone-tec’s natural stone cleaning and

maintenance materials, which have been specially developed for the purpose. CB care spray should be used

for maintenance care. CB care spray also ensures permanent impregnation of the natural stone surface.

CB deep cleaner can be used for cleaning purposes or to remove stubborn dirt.

Cleaning and care of the stone must only be carried out when the stone surface is cold. Any attempt to clean

or care for the natural stone elements while they are hot can cause irreparable damage or discolouration

of the natural stone surface.

The use of other maintenance and cleaning agents will invalidate the guarantee as these agents have ge-

nerally not been developed for use on hot surfaces or can react with the CB cleaning agents.

ÄNatural stone can react if it comes into contact with other materials. This can cause discolourati-

on and/or marking. For this reason, it is advisable not to place any decorative or other objects on

the fireplace or to lean them against the fireplace. Any discolouration caused by contact with other

objects is excluded from the guarantee. Objects which themselves react when heated (candles,

plastic objects, etc.) should not be allowed to come into contact with the natural stone surface

under any circumstances.

VAIO Operating and installation instructions

Warranty exclusions

The warranty does not cover:

Wear and tear of the product

Fireclay/vermiculite: these are natural products which are subject to contraction and expansion du-

ring each heating process. This can lead to cracks. As long as the linings remain in position in the fire

compartment and do not crack, these products are fully functional.

Surfaces: discolouration of the paintwork or galvanised surfaces caused by thermal loads or overload.

Gaskets: loosening of the gaskets due to thermal loads and hardening.

Glass ceramics: soiling by soot or encrusted residues of burnt materials and colour changes or other

visual changes caused by thermal load.

Incorrect transport and/or incorrect storage

Improper handling of fragile parts such as glass

Improper handling and/or use

Insufficient maintenance

Incorrect installation or connection of the device

Failure to observe the operating and installation instructions

Technical changes to the device by parties from outside the company

Increased heat stress due to excessive quantities of wood

Prerequisite for effectiveness of the warranty

The warranty period starts from the date of delivery to the VAIO dealer. Proof of this must be provided by

the certificate or invoice with the VAIO dealer’s proof of delivery. The product’s warranty certificate must be

submitted by the claimant to validate the claim.

Without furnishing this proof, CB stone-tec shall have no warranty obligations.

Repairing defects/maintenance

Irrespective of the statutory warranty which takes priority over the warranty within the statutory warranty

periods, within the scope of this warranty, any defects which have been demonstrably caused by material or

manufacturing defects shall be repaired free of charge, and the remaining conditions of this warranty shall

be met. Within the scope of this warranty, CB stone-tec undertakes to either repair the defect or to replace

the device free of charge. Repairing the defects shall take priority.

This warranty does not explicitly include further compensation for damage which is excluded over and abo-

ve the statutory warranty.

ÄDiscolouration or damage to the natural stone elements due to incorrect heating and/or improper

maintenance is excluded from the guarantee. This includes, in particular, damage due to improper

maintenance and cleaning and/or damage due to incorrect heating, particularly by using excessive

quantities of wood (see Max. quantities of wood).

VAIO Operating and installation instructions

Extending the warranty period

If a warranty service is claimed, whether this be to repair a defect or to replace a device, the warranty period

for the exchanged device/ components shall be extended.

Replacement parts

If any replacement parts are required, only replacement parts produced or recommended by the manufac-

turer may be used.

Liability

Damage and claims for damage which do not result from a CB stone-tec device delivered with defects shall

be excluded and are not covered by this warranty. This excludes statutory warranty claims where these exist

on a case-by-case basis.

Legal provisions

When installing the VAIO wood-burning stove, all legal provisions must always be complied with along with

the local building regulations. Please contact your specialist dealer if you have any questions. You must

have your wood-burning stove approved by your authorised local chimney sweep.

Space requirements

If an extractor hood is installed in the interconnecting area in your home, a contact switch must ensure

that it can only be operated when the window is tilted open. When operating the fireplace, the combustion

air outlets must never be closed.

Balanced flue operation

The VAIO_7 and VAIO_8 models feed a controlled supply of external air into the stove for combustion pur-

poses, and have been specially designed for well-insulated living spaces. The combustion air must be fed

into the device from outside via a sealed duct or an air-exhaust chimney system. The design even enables

the fireplace to operate flawlessly in negative pressure of up to 8 Pa at the site of installation. For this rea-

son, the VAIO_7 and VAIO_8 wood-burning stoves are also approved for balanced flue operation.

The combustion air line to the fireplace’s site of installation must be constructed on site.

According to EnEV (the German ordinance on energy saving in buildings), it must be possible to seal off the

combustion air line. The closed/open setting must be clearly visible. This is not necessary for air-exhaust

chimney systems.

DIBt-approved wood-burning stoves, tested for balanced flue operation, also create a connection to the

ambient air when more fuel is added. To prevent this, open the window in this room, or tilt it open before

adding more wood to the fire. The atmospheric pressure will even itself out. You can then add more wood

without the wood-burning stove generating clouds of smoke. When you shut the stove door again, close

the window again.

Load-bearing bases

Before installing your stove, make sure that the base can bear the weight of the stove and flue.

The weight of various wood-burning stove models is as follows:

Model Weigth Height Width Depth

VAIO_7 weight varies depending on the type of stone

approx.

185 kg 112,7 cm 49,4 cm 40,9 cm

VAIO_8 weight varies depending on the type of stone

approx.

210 kg 137,2 cm 49,4 cm 40,9 cm

Heat-storage stone for VAIO_8 approx. 29 kg

VAIO Operating and installation instructions

Distance to flammable material

Do not place your VAIO wood-burning stove on a non-flammable base. If the wood-burning stove is instal-

led on a wooden floor or similar, (in Germany) the floor must be covered with a non-flammable material,

measuring 50 cm in front, and 30 cm on both sides, of the wood-burning stove (facing towards the stove).

If the wood-burning stove is installed on a base or is hung from the wall, the floor beneath the stove and

up to at least 30 cm on either side of the stove (facing towards the stove) must also be covered with a

non-flammable material.

Note that glass surfaces do not necessarily have to be heat-resistant. As a glass surface is categorised

in the “flammable wall” category, you should ask the manufacturer or master chimney sweep about this.

Comply with any existing rules on distances between walls and flue pipes.

Existing rules on distances between walls and flue pipes must be complied with. In order to access the

fresh air automatic system, the specified distance to the wall must be observed.

IMPORTANT

Do not store any flammable materials under the stove.

Chimney requirements

The chimney must be tall enough to ensure a good draught and to prevent smoke from becoming a nui-

sance. Nominal draught: approx. 12 Pa.

The chimney should have a light opening of at least Ø 150 mm. Another minimum requirement is that the

opening should always correspond to the size of the stove’s exhaust connections. The chimney should also

have an easily accessible cleaning door.

5. Installing individual parts

Before installing the wood-burning stove, make sure that all individual parts have been correctly mounted.

Vertical section of the wood-burning stove (figure B):

1. Baffle plate at the bottom. Should be in contact with the steel rail at the back of the fire compartment.

2. Baffle plate at the top. Should be in contact with the bottom baffle plate.

3. The steel baffle plate comes in two parts. Each of the two parts is suspended from a hook on the top

plate and is fitted with a transportation lock in the form of two split pins (7). These two split pins must

be removed before setting the stove into operation.

4. RSmoke outlet at the rear. Connected to a bolted plate in the factory. This means that the exhaust flue

is hidden behind the rear wall.

5. Removable rear wall concealing the automatic system. Should always be mounted when the stove is

installed next to a flammable wall.

6. Loose thermal shield under the ash pan.

Connection to the chimney

The series is fitted with a rear and a top smoke outlet. The stove can be connected at the top or directly at

the rear to a flue.

adjust the two setting screws on both sides to the required height according to the instructions enclosed.

VAIO Operating and installation instructions

Chimney flue

The chimney flue is the wood-burning stove’s engine, and of vital importance to the stove’s general functi-

on. The draught in the chimney flue generates negative pressure in the stove. It removes smoke from the

stove and draws in air through the air slider which cleans the glass pane and keeps it free from soot. The

negative pressure also ensures that air for combustion is drawn in through the primary and secondary

sliders.

The chimney draught is generated by the different temperatures inside and outside the chimney. The

higher the temperature in the chimney, the stronger the draught. That’s why it is particularly important

that the chimney is thoroughly heated before pushing the slider forwards and shutting off the air for the

combustion in the stove (a brick-lined chimney takes longer to heat than a steel flue). On days on which

the draught in the chimney is weak due to wind and weather conditions, it is particularly important to heat

up the chimney or flue as quickly as possible. The flames must be generated quickly. Chop the wood up

particularly small and also use kindling wood.

After long periods when the stove has been out of use, it is important to have the flue pipe checked for any

blockages.

It is possible to connect several devices to one chimney. However, the applicable rules for this must first

be looked into.

Malfunctions can occur even in a top-class chimney if it is not operated correctly. Inversely, a chimney of

a lesser quality can operate extremely well if used properly.

Chimney sweeping

To counter the risk of a chimney fire, the chimney should be swept every year. The flue pipe and smoke

chamber above the steel baffle plate should be cleaned at the same time as the chimney. If the chimney is

too tall for it to be cleaned from the top, a cleaning vent should be installed.

In the event of a chimney fire, close all vents and call the fire brigade immediately. Before using the stove

again, have the chimney inspected by a chimney sweep.

7. Heating instructions – wood

When the stove is heated for the first time, the paint on its surface hardens. For this reason, the door and

ash drawer should be opened very carefully to prevent the gaskets from sticking to the paint. The paint

may also give off an unpleasant odour, therefore you must make sure that the room is well ventilated.

On the subject fire safety

Approved fuels

VAIO-wood-burning stoves are EN approved in accordance with standard regulations for burning wood

only. We recommend using dried wood with a maximum residual moisture content of 18%. If wood with

a higher moisture content is used, this can result in the accumulation of soot, harmful emissions and

inefficient fuel economy. We advise purchasing a hygrometer to regularly check that the firewood has the

correct moisture content before burning it.

Recommended types of wood

Types of wood such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel for this

stove. The difference between the different types of wood is not in the fuel value, but in the weight per unit

volume. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than the same amount of common spruce, it takes

more common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that would be produced from one cubic metre

of beech.

Banned fuel types

Folgende Brennstoffe dürfen nicht verfeuert werden:

• printed paper • chipboard • plastic • rubber • flammable liquids

• Arubbish such as milk cartons • painted, varnished or waterproof timber.

Burning of these materials is prohibited because during combustion, they develop substances that are

harmful to health and the environment. These substances could also damage your wood-burning stove

and chimney, invalidating the warranty.

Storing the wood

A water content of maximum 18% can be achieved by storing the wood outdoors under cover for at least

one year (or preferably two). Wood stored indoors can become too dry and therefore burn too quickly. Ho-

wever, this does not apply to kindling wood which should be stored indoors for a few days before use.

Recommended dimensions

As the size of the fuel influences the way it burns, the following information must be observed:

Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm

Kindling wood 20-31 2-5

Chopped wood 20-31 7-9
