PLEASE NOTE: SOME APPLIANCES ARE FITTED WITH A SMOKE SHUTTER/DAMPER FITTED
WITHIN THE NECK OF THE APPLIANCE, IF USED TO CONTROL EXCESSIVE FLUE DRAUGHT THE
POSITION TO ACHIEVE THE CORRECT FLUE DRAUGHT SHOULD BE NOTED AND NOT EXCEEDED
WHEN IN NORMAL OPERATION AS THIS WILL RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
APPLIANCE.
The minimum effective height of the chimney for exhaust gas from the stove is 5m.

5. Operation manual

5.1 Fuel

It is only allowed to burn wood and wood briquettes in fireplace stoves. To reach the nominal
parameters of the heater, we recommend using dry logs with a diameter of 5-8 cm and
length of 20-30 cm and with a humidity below 20%. Kindling/chopped pieces of wood should
be used only when starting the fire.
Recommended humidity can be obtained by storing the chopped logs for at least two years
in a ventilated shelter. A hand held moisture meter is a way of confirming the moisture
content they are simple and easy to use.
The fireplace stove should be heated to a nominal output stated in the technical sheet, i.e.
the burning of a given amount of allowed fuel per 1 hour. Long-term excessive output could
damage the fireplace stove.
Never use flammable fluids, coke, coal or any of the following types of waste as fuel:
chipboards, plastics, plastic bags, soaked wood or wood-shavings, saw-dust or pellets!
!!!Burning of the above mentioned material not only highly pollutes our environment but also
damages the fireplace stove and the chimney!!!

5.2 Starting the fireplace stove for the first time

Before the first use all remaining stickers and transit fixings must be removed, all accessories
must be taken out of the ashpan or burning chamber. Check that the baffle plates are fitted
and located correctly, that the air controls are operating correctly, chamotte fire bricks and
grate are set correctly (as they might have slipped from their correct positions during transport
or installation). Correct any defects you might find, otherwise the proper functioning of the
stove is endangered.
After siting the fireplace stove and connecting it to the chimney start heating slowly and
continue for at least one hour. Leave the stove and ashpan doors open (approx 1-2mm)
before and during the first heating in order to prevent the sealing material to mix/stick with
the paint. The fireplace surface is covered with heat-resistant paint. During the first heating,
after becoming temporarily soft, the paint will eventually become hardened. During the soft
phase the paint surface is more vulnerable to being damaged by a hand or other object.
During the first heating the fireplace stove should be "heated up" with a small flame, burning
only a small amount of fuel with a lower temperature. All materials must get used to the heat
load. You will prevent cracks in the chamotte bricks, damage of the paint or deformation of
the insert materials by a careful first heating. Hardening of the paint on the fireplace stove
might be accompanied by a temporary smell, which will disappear after a while.
Make sure the room is properly well ventilated when curing the paint. Furthermore, ensure
that no small animals or birds are present in the room containing paint fumes. We also
recommend turning off aquarium air intakes during the first heating.
