ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
3.1 Safety instructions
•
Do not modify the appliance when assembling it. It is very
dangerous and not allowed to alter parts of the appliance.
•
Always follow the assembly instructions carefully.
•
•
•
The user is responsible for the correct assembly of the
appliance. Damages caused by improper assembly are not
covered by the warranty.
Remove all securing components including labels, plastic
security elements and protective film ect. prior to assembly
and first use of the fireplace. Assembly must be performed
by two adults in accordance with the instructions in 3.2.
Failure to comply with the warnings, cautions and
recommandations intended to prevent hazards listed
in this instruction may result in fire, explosion severe
bodily injury, ill health, dead or damage to property.
Note : Use only wood or charcoal in the fireplace. Do not
load more than 3 kilograms of permitted material into the
fireplace. Failure to comply with this recommandation will
cause the combustion chamber (walls of the fireplace) to
burn out sooner and will permanently remove the corrosion
protective coating. In extreme circumstances it may result
in a permanent deformation of the fireplace structure!
Never touch or lean on the fireplace or place objects at the
bottom of the structure. Failure to comply with this
instruction may lead to severe bodily injury, death or property
damage.
NOTE : Emty the ashtray only after the fireplace
has cooled down completely and use gloves to avoid burns.
The combustion chamber is made of steel and may expand
when exposed to high temperatures. Constant temperature
fluctuations may, under certain conditions, lead to micro
cracks or warps in the walls. These are not defects and do
not adversely affect the stability and performance ofb the
structure. All corrosion spots which may appear in the
combustion chamber will become oxidised as long as the
fireplace is used regularly.
NOTE : First prepare a concrete base capable of carrying
the weight of the fireplace.
Laying cobbles or foundation for the fireplace :
Remove the soil until you reach the appropriate depth.
Level and compact the bottom of the trough. Depending on the
type of soil, build a 15-30 cm thick (up to 60 cm thick in case of
loamy soil) foundation of concrete or broken stone whose
dimensions are equel to, or greater than, the base of the
fireplace. When laying cobbles, first lay a 3 cm thick bedding
layer of cement and sand and then lay the cobbles. Then
compact the surface using a vibrating plate compactor with a
plate of vulkollan or rubber. Fill in the gaps between cobbles
with dry and sifted sand with a grain size of 0-3 mm, brushing
the sand in. Place the structure of the fireplace centrally on the
cobbled surface or set concrete.
The foundation must be even and smooth. In case the
fireplace is entended to be placed on a terrace or a
similar location, the place needs to be first inspected
by a professional to identify whether it can carry the load.
If the fireplace is placed near a building, at least a 10 cm gap
must be left between the wall of the building and the fireplace
to ensure proper ventilation.
Note! The above instruction applies to cobbles laid on a
foundation in a sandy or gravelly soil only. In case of loamy
soil, an additional drain layer, 20 to 60 cm thick, needs to be
build. Contact professionals from the building and paving
industry for a detailed instruction how to build the surface. A
proper foundation made from suitable materials and cobbles
laid in accordance with the best paving practice are essential
to guarantee a long-lasting surface and user safety.
