INSTALLATION



Thefurnacecanbeliftedonlyformetalparts.Donotpressthetiles.Damagescausedbyimproperhandlingand

installationarenotcoveredunderwarranty.



Furnaceisequippedwithastableandfireproofbaseorlegs.Toprotectthefloor,youputitonastable,heat‐resistant

platethatshouldextendatleast50cmfromthefrontand30cmatthesidesofthestove.Atadistanceof150cm

fromthestove,oneshouldnotstoreanycombustiblematerialsandthosethatcanbedestroyedbyhotair.Thestove

must beinstalled by a suitablyqualifiedperson andin accordance with the law. Connectingelements (rosette and

smoke pipes) should be joined together in a stable and durable way, so that nothing can get inside the furnace.

Diameterofconnectingpipesshouldbethesameasthediameteroftheflueofthefurnace.Stoveshouldbeoperated

withaseparatechimney.Ensureaccessofairtothefurnaceinanamountofatleast10m3/hperkWofpower.If

necessary, you can make intake of air fromthe nextroom or outside.The device can not operate in conditions of

inadequateamountofairasaresultofgravitationalforcesorforced.Thismaycauseweakcombustionorevensmoke

cangetintotheroom.



INSTRUCTIONSFORUSE



Fuel

Useonlyhardwoodorbriquetteswithout.Itisnecessarythatthewoodusedwasdry.Drywoodiswhenitshumidityis

lessthan20%.This condition is achievedwhenthewoodisstoredinadry,airyplaceforatleasttwoyears.Wood

shouldbechoppedupthewaythatitsthicknessisbetween5and15cm.



Whynottousewetwood:

1. Wood moisture lowers the temperature during combustion. Much of the heat energy is consumed in the

processofwaterevaporation,andtherestofenergymaynotbeenoughtoreachenoughlevelofheat.

2. Evaporation of water reduces the burning temperature and contributes to the excessive soot formation,

whichformstheblackcoatingontheburningchamber,ontheglassandinthechimneyconnection.

3. Burningofwetwooddoesnotallowtoreachtheadequateburningtemperature,andthusgasescontaina

biggeramountofharmfulsubstances.



Firingup

The purpose offiring up is to warmthe burning chamberand chimney connectionsto a temperaturethat ensures

adequatedraft,whichwillensurecompleteandstableburning.



1. Cleantheashfromthestovebeforefiringup.

2. Opentheairintakevalvesandexhaustoutlet(ifequipped).

3. Puttwopiecesofwoodintotheburningchamber,paralleltoeachother,onthetwosidesoffurnace.

4. Tear old newspapers and spread them along the front of the burning chamber. Do not use glossy or

impregnatedpaper.

5. Placesmallpiecesofdrywoodonpaper.Makesurethatthewoodwon’tfallduringfiringup.Thenaddlarger

woodpiecesandplacethemonthestack.

6. Ignitethepaper.Whenthenewspaperisburning,closethestovedoor.

7. Leavetheairsupplyvalvefullyopeneduntilthefirespreadstheentirecombustionchamber.



Howtoburnhardwood:

1. Onthelayerofembersplacetherightamountofwood.

2. Air inlet valve on ash container and flue gas damper (if equipped) should be fully opened for the first 5

3. Afterabout5minutesfromloading,whenthefirespreadedtotheentireburningchamber,oneshouldclose

outthecharge(about60minutes).

4. Afterabout30minutesfromloading,openfluegasdamper(ifequipped),moveloadonthegridinorderto

improveburningefficiencyandclosefluegasdamper(ifequipped).

amountoffuel‐furtherstepsseesections2,3and4



Inordertopreventvolatilizationofexhaustgas,burningchambershouldbeclosed,exceptduringloadingoffuel,

Thefluegasdamper(ifequipped)reachesahightemperatureanditshouldbehandledwithprotectiveglove.



Thesignsofproperburning:

• Burningmustbeconductedinthepresenceofflamesuntilthewoodturnsintoheat.Theaimistoprevent

smolderingand smoke comingout. Smoke shouldnot appear whileburning ofwood and isa symptomof

improperburning.

• Ifinsidethefurnacearerefractorybricks,theyshouldkeeptheirnaturalyellow‐browncolour.

• Ifoneusesdrywoodandkeepssufficientairflow,duringeach adds the wood should immediately start

burning.

• glassoffurnaceshouldbecleanduringburning

• gasesescapingfromthechimneyshouldbetransparentorwhite.Greysmokemeansthatthereisaproblem

withburning.



Chimney

The chimney releases the gases produced in the burning process into the atmosphere.Draft in the chimneyis the

resultofcombinationoftheheightandthetemperaturedifferencebetweenthegasesinsideandoutside.Columnof

hotgasesinthechimneyislighterthanacomparablepolecoldairintheatmosphere,sothepressureatthebottom

ofthestackislessthanatmosphericpressure.Thisrelatively smallpressure differencecausesthe draft. Poordraft

causesproblemswithfiringup

andsmokegetsbackintothefurnace.Thiscanbeeliminatedduringfiringup,byusing

large quantities ofpaper anddry,quicklyburningsmallpieces of wood. Afterheating of burning chamber andthe

wallsofthechimney,thedraftisimproving.Foreconomicreasonsandformoreefficientheating,thechimneydraft

shouldbereducedtoabout5‐10Pa,afterfiringup.Keepinmindthatthesmokeshouldnotgobacktothefurnace.In

case of insufficientchimney draft,the firingup ofthe deviceshould be abandoned. In case of a problem with the

chimneydraftitisprohibitedtoclosetheairregulator.Airregulatoranddamper(ifequipped)mustbesetsothatthe

fuelwasburninginvisibleway.



Thechimneyandthestovemustberegularlyinspectedbyaqualifiedprofessional.



Themaincausesofinsufficientchimneydraft:

• Thesootonthewallsofthechimney,reducingitsdiameterandslowingdownthereleaseofsmoke;

• Crackedchimneywallsorlooserosette;

• Connecting pipes connected too loose or pushed too far into the chimney, reducing the diameter of the

exhaustoutletorblockingit;

• Useofthechimneythatistoosmallindiameter;

• Problemswiththedraftcanoccurifthetemperatureoutsidehasrecentlysignificantlyincreased.Thenfumes
