Installing the stove
The floor on which the stove is installed must be even
and horizontal. The stove may only be installed on an
adequate load-bearing floor. The stove can be stood
on a metal floor sheet or glass sheet to protect the
flooring.
If the flooring or carpet is inflammable, a stable, heat
proof spark protection plate must be used. This must
extend 50 cm to the front and 30 cm to each side be-
yond the edge of the combustion chamber opening.
Under the stove no spark protection plate is required.
Assembly sequence
●
The Ø 150 stovepipe connection can be installed at
the top or rear. The stove is supplied ready for con-
nection from above. If you wish to connect it at the
rear, the following steps must be carried out to make
the necessary modifications:
- Break out the cover in the back panel.
- Replace the connector sleeve and the sealing
cover.
●
Install storage stones.
Comply with the information in the instruction manu-
al included with the storage stones.
●
Decide where the stove is to be installed. There
must be no objects made of combustible materials
within a distance of 80 cm of the stove’s radiation
area, measured from the combustion chamber’s in-
spection glass, nor may any be placed within this
area subsequently.
Minimum distance from combustible or load-
bearing walls:
lateral 20 cm and rear 20 cm
●
Install the pipe lining (provided on site) in the chim-
ney. The connection height can be individually spec-
ified for a top stovepipe connection, however should
not exceed 1.5 m from the connector sleeve. For the
rear stovepipe connection heights please refer the
“Technical Data“ chapter. No combustible material is
permitted within a radius of 20 cm around the stove
pipe.
●
Connect the stovepipe at both connection points
with stove putty so that the stove pipe is permanent-
ly sealed.
●
Push the stove onto its planned position and orient it
so that the stovepipe fits into the pipe lining.
The stovepipe connections must be tight. The
stovepipe must not protrude into the chimney.
Bear in mind that on partition walls in accordance
with test specification EN 13240 the temperature
of 85°C can be reached, and with light wallpaper
or similar combustible construction materials this
can result in colour changes.
Operation
Permissible fuels
The following fuels are approved:
●
Natural shopped wood in the form of billet wood
Maximum length: ..............33 cm
Circumference: ....approx. 30 cm
●
Wood briquettes to DIN 51731
Size class HP 2
Maximum length: ..............20 cm
●
Lignite briquettes
Billet wood
reaches a moisture content of 10 to 15%
after being stored outdoors for 2 to 3 years (only cov-
ered at the top) and is then ideally suited for heating.
Freshly cut wood
has a very high moisture content
and so burns badly. Apart from the very low calorif-
ic value it is also harmful for the environment. The in-
creased condensate and tar formation can lead to fire
-
place and chimney sooting.
This diagram shows that the consumption rate with
freshly-felled wood (calorific value 2.3 kWh/kg) is al
-
most twice as high as the consumption rate with dry
wood (calorific value 4.3 kWh/kg).

dry wood that has been stored for at least 2 years

You will only achieve optimum combustion and heat
in an environmentally friendly way with these fuels.
Adding the fuel in small quantities avoids unnecessary
emissions. Clean burning can be identified by the fact
that the firebrick becomes a light colour.
According to the German Federal Immission Control
Act, it is forbidden e.g. to burn the following fuels in
stoves:
●
Moist wood or wood treated with wood
preservatives
●
Sawdust, chippings, grinding dust
●
Bark and chipboard waste
●
Slack coal
●
Other wastes
●
Paper and cardboard (except for igniting)
●
Straw
