3. SAFETY OF OPERATION
3. 1. General provisions
For the operation and installation of the wood stove, it is necessary to adhere to fundamentals of fire safety contained in the norm ČSN 06 1008. The appliance
can be used in a normal environment according to ČSN 33 2000-3. In the event that this environment changes, where even a temporary fire or explosion ha-
zard could eventuate (e.g. when gluing linoleum, PVC, when working with paints, etc.), the stove must be put out of operation before such a hazard is created.
Furthermore, it is possible to use the stove only after thoroughly ventilating the area, ideally using cross-draught.
3. 2. Safe clearance of the stove from combustible materials
During the installation of the stove located in an area containing Class B, C1 and C2 combustible materials, safety
clearances must be maintained from the front side (or possibly from side glazed surfaces) of 1000 mm and 400 mm in all other directions. In the event that the
stove is installed in an area with Class C3 combustible materials, these distances must be doubled.
3. 3. Safe clearance of the smoke flue pipe from flammable materials
The safe distance from door frame trims and similarly located building structures from flammable materials and pipe installations including its insulation is at
least 200 mm. From other structures from flammable materials the clearance is at least 400mm (ČSN 06 1008). This refers to building materials with a Class
B, C1 and C2 combustibility rating as per norm ČSN EN 13501-1 (see Table No. 2).
3. 4. Instructions for safe operation
No flammable fluids may be used when starting a fire or while heating! It is also forbidden to burn any kinds of plastics, wood materials with various chemical
adhesives (wood particle boards, etc.) as well as unsorted household waste containing plastics, etc.
The stove may only be tended to by an adult! Leaving children near the stove without adult supervision is not permitted. The surface of the stove is very hot,
particularly the glazed surfaces and touching these surfaces may result in serious burns.
The operation of the stove requires occasional tending and supervision. Protective gloves are used for safe operation. It is forbidden to place any items from
combustible materials, that could result in a fire, on to the stove while it is in operation or is still hot.
Pay increased attention when handling the ash pan and when removing hot ash as there is a danger of burns. Hot ash must not come into contact with com-
bustible items – e.g. when it is tipped out into communal waste.
The stove may only be operated according to this manual. It is not permitted to perform any unauthorised modifications to the stove.
Information about the level of combustibility of certain building materials (Table No. 2)
Combustibility of building materials and products Building materials rated by their level of combustibility
A - non-combustible granite, sandstone, heavy porous concretes, bricks, ceramic tiles, special plasters
B - very poorly combustible akumin, wood-cement board, lihnos, itaver
C1 - poorly combustible hardwood, plywood, sikoklit, laminated paper, formica
C2 - medium combustible wood-particle boards, solodur, cork boards, rubber, flooring
C3 - easily combustible fibreboard, polystyrene, polyurethane
4. INSTALLING THE WOOD STOVE AND CONNECTING IT TO A CHIMNEY
Attention: All local codes and regulations relating to national and European norms for this type of appliance must be adhered to during the installation of this
wood stove.
4. 1. Connecting the wood stove to a chimney or a chimney insert
The connection of a wood stove to a chimney flue must be performed only with the approval of a chimney company in accordance with ČSN 73 4201 or
according to the codes valid for this type of appliance in the country of its installation. In order for the wood stove to work properly, it is necessary to ensure the
correct chimney draught at the collar of the flue pipe. The minimum required chimney draught is always provided on the technical sheet. An insufficient chimney
draught causes the poor operation of the stove, excessive soiling of the viewing window and excessive deposits in the flue lines. The heating performance
of the wood stove is reduced. In the event that you add wood and the chimney does not have good draught conditions, exhaust gases may enter the room.
For this reason, we recommend a regular chimney inspection by a chimney company according to norm ČSN 73 4201 and to perform regular maintenance
on the stove. In cases where the chimney draught is too high and exceeds 20 Pa, it is appropriate to install a suitable chimney damper (e.g. a metal flue pipe
with a damper). An excessively high draught may be the cause of operating problems, e.g. combustion is too intense, high fuel consumption and it may also
lead to permanent damage of the stove..
4. 2. Connecting the wood stove to a chimney flue
We recommend that the wood stove is connected to an independent chimney flue. It is possible to connect the wood stove to a shared chimney flue only
if the provisions of norm ČSN 73 4201 are adhered to. It is not possible to connect the wood stove to a chimney flue shared with a gas-burning appliance.
4. 3. Instructions for the installation of the smoke flue pipe
Connect the stove flue collar to the chimney by the shortest possible route so that the length of the smoke flue pipe is no longer than 1.5 metres. Tightly fit the
smoke flue pipes and elbows together with an overlap of at least 60mm and make sure that the joints are always in the exhaust gas flow direction. Fit a metal
collar of a corresponding diameter at the entry point of the chimney. In the event that you are connecting the smoke flue pipe into a ceramic chimney flue, it
is necessary to use a transition piece with a gasket cord specially designed for ceramic chimneys, which prevents the cracking of the ceramic chimney insert.
The smoke flue pipe should rise towards the chimney flue at an angle of approx. 10°.
4. 4. Installing the wood stove in its location
Before installing the wood stove, it is necessary to check the load bearing capacity of the floor (ceiling), whether it meets the load bearing conditions for the
weight of the given wood stove model. The wood stove must be installed on a thermally-insulated non-combustible underlay, which extends past the perimeter
of the stove by 100mm on the sides and rear and by 300mm at the front. If a metal underlay is used, it must have a thickness of at least 2 mm.
Attention: It is necessary to leave sufficient space for the purpose of access for cleaning the stove, the flue pipe and the chimney.
