Oven door open: higher heat emission for heating the room.
Oven door closed: lower heat emission for heating the room.
The oven door can be removed without using tools: take the door handle and pull upwards the door that is slightly open.
Reinstallation is made by introducing both hinges into the corresponding openings, at the front of the oven, while placing
pressure on the lower edge of the door with a knee and light pulling of the handle up. When the stove is in operation, the oven
door must be installed.

FUEL DR AWER (Figure 1, Item 4 )
The lower part of the stove contains space for fuel, which has guides and is easily movable.
Warning: Do not store easily flammable matters like paper, etc. Pay attention to the height when loading.

COMMISSIONING OF THE STOVE
Before the first fire lighting, all enameled surfaces should be cleaned with a soft dry cloth in order to prevent the creation
of stains. After acquaintance with the handling of the stove, the commissioning can follow. During the first lighting of fire,
open the window as the applied protection from corrosion develops unpleasant but insignificant smoke, i.e. an odour for a
short time. This is normal and disappears after a short while. Take into consideration that some in-built parts of the stove
(pipe for waste gases, the loading door, etc.), when the stove is fired, can be heated and pose a risk of burns. Special
attention should be paid to small children, in order to prevent their coming into danger. When firing the stove for the first
time, fire it with two or three weak fires to avoid breakage of the fireclay.
4.1.
LIGHTING THE FIRE
* Pull out the button for the warming flap, the warming flap is open
* Open the primary air control to the largest air release (Fig. 3, item 9)
* Open the firebox door
* Move the secondary air (Figure 4, item 10) to 1
* Put wood wool, sawdust or paper
* Put 2-3 small pieces of wood over it
* Fire it
* Close the firebox door
* Let the wood burn briskly
* Retract the warming flap, the warming flap is closed.
4.2.
ADDING THE FUEL
After the basic embers are created, fuel should be added through the loading opening. Place the air control in the
corresponding marked place (put the button in the position 1-3).
When adding the fuel, open the firebox door slowly to prevent escape of the flue gases, thus avoiding flue gases entering
the room.
You will achieve the nominal heating capacity when you put the following fuel quantities and adjust:

Pay attention to never putting more firewood or lignite briquettes than are required for the nominal capacity of heating.
The above quantities of fuel should not be exceeded as this may cause the stove to overheat.
Only naturally dried firewood or lignite briquettes may be used, in accordance with the regulation on protection from
emission.
The firewood that is used must be dry (remaining moisture 20%). It is usually the case when the firewood is stored for
two years in a dry place with good ventilation. Wet firewood has a low calorific value and leads to deposits of soot in the flue
gas pipes and the chimney. Wood with a treated upper surface (lacquered, painted, laminated and impregnated, plywood,
waste of any kind, garbage from packaging, plastics, papers, rubber, leather, textiles, etc.) must not be fired.
Combustion of such materials pollutes the environment and it is forbidden by the legislator. In addition, damages can
occur in the chimney. In such a case, all types of warranties by the manufacturer become invalid. Under unfavorable
conditions of the draft in the chimney, problems can arise because the flue gases are not completely evacuated. In any such
case, fire as a bait in the chimney should be made. If this measure does not create draft in the chimney, the operation of the
stove is not allowed for safety reasons.
Note: Better use of the fluel and thus better heating of the room is achieved by opening the door of the oven slightly or
completely.

COOKING
The stove is equipped with a grid for working in winter and in summer.
