Each time you load the fuel, we recommend that you let the fire burn at maximum strength for at least half an hour,
because the first to burn out are all the volatile constituents of the fuel that are usually the main causes to condensate
formation in the stove.

USING THE GRATE IN THE UP AND DOWN POSITION
For cooking, baking and heating during transitional season, the grate is in up position (Fig. 11) to ensure that the flame
directly reaches the cooktop and saves cooking, baking and heating costs.
The stove is delivered with the grate in the down position. To move the grate from down to up position, take the following
steps:
-
Remove the cooktop from the stove and open the firebox and ash pan door.
-
Use your hand, through the ash pan opening and ash pan, to lift the front of the grate and pull it out of its holder.
-
Place the grate on the supports (4 pcs) welded inside the boiler firebox, at the front and in the back (2 + 2 pcs) (Fig. 1,
Item 23). Place the grate at an angle (slanted) so that the back of the grate can be fitted first, and then lower the front
of the grate. Put the cooktop back on the frame.
-
The grate is placed in the down position (Fig. 9 and 10) the same way as it is placed in the up position.
Notes:
-
Grate in the down position enables better heating of water, heating more radiators and larger living areas, but cooking
is more difficult.
-
When the grate is in the up position, water is less heated, and less radiators and a smaller living area can be heated,
but cooking is much easier.
-
Baking is the same in both positions of the grate.

AUTOMATIC REGULATION
Stove power is adjusted using the thermostat (power regulator, combustion regulator), which is located in the ash pan
door and which automatically sets the regulator damper depending on the regulation knob setting (Fig. 1, Items 10 and 19)
and the temperature of water in the boiler. Regulation knob has several positions that are written on the knob as specified in
Table 1:

In the power regulation system, air regulator (damper) fully controls combustion air supply if other openings are closed.

SECONDARY AND TERTIARY AIR REGULATORS
Secondary air regulator is placed in the firebox door (Fig. 1, Item 8 and Fig. 13). It controls additional lighting of fire and
burning unburned flue gases. It is opened and closed manually using the knob on the firebox door.
Leave the secondary air regulator open when the fire in the stove is lit.
Tertiary air regulator (Fig. 1, Item 30) is located behind the tertiary air regulator cover (Fig. 1, Item 27). It controls additional
lighting of fire and burning unburned flue gases. It is opened and closed manually using the tertiary air regulator knob (Fig. 1,
Item 26).
Leave the tertiary air regulator closed when burning wood.

COOKING, BAKING AND FRYING
During heating season, the stove is used mainly for heating. For faster baking, cooking and frying, use only dry firewood.
The damper used for starting the fire must be closed and power regulator must be open. After you finish baking, cooking or
frying, place the power regulator in desired position.
While baking, increase the temperature of the water in the system to at least 60
C and, if necessary, close some of the
radiators during baking and adjust the oven temperature to the food being baked.
NOTE: If necessary, rotate the pan during baking.
