Dear user!
1. Introduction
This. service. manual. applies. to. the. fireplace. stoves.
as. well. as. the. fireplace. inserts. (further. referred. to. as.
appliances.–.for.generaltexts)..
We. are. pleased. that. you. have. chosen. our. product.. The.
appliances.are.tested.in.compliance.with.the.EN.13.240.and.
13. 229. standards.. They. require. only. very. simple.
attendance.and.we.expect.that.they.will.serve.for.a.long.
time.to.your.full.satisfaction.
The.appliances.are.made.as.all-metal,.or.they.have.tile.
or.stone.lining.and.accessories..A.part.of.the.production.
is. made. using. cast. iron.. Some. types. are,. in. addition,.
supplemented. with. a. hot. water. exchanger. for. service.
water.used.to.heat.the.neighbouring.rooms..Most.types.
of.the.variety.of.offered.stoves.are.fitted.for.smoke-flue.
connection.from.behind.or.from.above..
In.your.own.interest,.please.do.not.put.this.service.
manual.aside.without.having.read.it..In.terms.of.safety,.
the. user. is. obliged. to. be. properly. informed. about. the.
appropriate.installation.and.operation.of.this.appliance..
This.is.the.purpose.of.this.service.manual.
High.heat.output,.dust-free.operation,.and.minimum.
escape.of.polluting.matter.due.to.complete.combustion.
are.the.main.advantages.of.your.appliance.
The. appliance. is. not. designed. for. constant. heat.
operation.
2. Technical description
The.appliances.are.designed.for.the.heating.of.rooms.
and.for.temporary.heating.when.it.is.not.efficient.yet.to.
heat.by.central.heating.
The. fireplace. insert. is. designed. for. installation. in.
fireplaces. in. various. interiors. (apartments,. recreation.
objects,.restaurants).
The.appliances.are.made.of.sheet.steel.with.2.–.4.mm.
thickness.. Some. fireplace. inserts. are. also. made. of.
cast. iron.. The. surface. is. protected. by. fireproof. flat.
varnish..The.combustion.chamber.is.mostly.lined.with.
removable.fireclay.plates..The.bottom.of.the.combustion.
space.is.fitted.with.a.removable.cast.iron.grate..The.door.
of. the. combustion. chamber. is. equipped. with. special.
heat. resistant. glass.. The. glass. not. only. increases. the.
aesthetic.impression.of.the.view.of.the.flames,.but.also.
enables.the.transfer.of.heat.for.longer.distance.by.heat.
emission..This.creates.unique.thermal.comfort.even.if.
you.are.sitting.several.meters.away.from.the.stove..The.
glass.also.prevents.sparks.from.falling.from.the.burning.
wood.and.smoke.from.escaping.to.the.room..The.top.
sheet.metal.surface.above.the.combustion.chamber.can.
be.used.to.keep.food.and.drinks.warm..
Each. stove. is. equipped. with. a. separate. inlet. for.
primary.and.secondary.combustion.air.(further.referred.
to.as.primary.and.secondary.air).
For.this.purpose,.the.stove.is.always.equipped.with.
a. control. element. for. primary. air.. Primary. air. is. lead.
directly.to.the.burning.fuel.(usualy.through.the.ashpan.
and. the. grate). and. serves. for. primary. combustion.
reaction.
Some.types.are.also.fitted.with.secondary.air.closing.
(see.the.dimensioned.sketch),.which.makes.it.possible.
to.subdue.the.burning.process.and.thus.lower.the.heat.
output.of.the.stove,.but.it.will.also.lower.heat.efficiency.
and.increase.the.volume.of.toxic.components.in.the.flue.
gases..As.secondary.air.aids.the.combustion.of.residual.
inflammable. gases. in. the. flue. gases. and. prevents. the.
glass. from. blackening,. it. should. be. open. constantly.
during. operation.. Secondary. air. is. lead. mainly. to. the.
combustion. space. above. the. burning. fuel. and. also.
participates. in. primary. combustion. if. the. primary. air.
inlet.is.half.or.fully.closed..The.size.of.the.secondary.
openings.is.adjusted.for.the.rated.output.of.appliances.
under.the.given.operating.conditions.(see.the.technical.
data.table).if.the.primary.air.inlet.is.closed..Leave.the.
primary. inlet. fully. open. during. firing. up. when. the.
chimney.draught.is.low..After.the.chimney.is.warmed.
up,.the.primary.inlet.can.be.closed.or.half.closed..Lower.
stove.output.can.also.be.achieved.by.inserting.smaller.
amount.of.fuel.or.by.mounting.a.chimney.smoke.flap.
(manual.closing.in.the.smoke.flue.duct.reducing.the.flue.
to. max.. 75%)..The. secondary. damper. is. designed. for.
full.closing.of.the.stove.when.it.is.not.in.operation..It.
prevents.imponderable.room.ventilation.when.the.stove.
is. not. operating. and. protects. the. room. from. chimney.
smell.under.bad.chimney.draught.conditions..
The.fire.place.and.the.ashpan.cover.must.be.always.
closed,.except.for.putting.into.operation,.inserting.the.fuel.
and.removing.solid.fuel.remains,.to.prevent.flue.gases.
from.escaping.into.the.room..Some.stoves.are.made.with.
central.air.inlet.for.connecting.a.piping.for.combustion.
air.supply.from.outdoor.environment,.the.cellar,.the.hall,.
etc..This.prevents.heat.from.being.withdrawn.directly.
from.the.heated.room..The.combustion.process.in.the.
stove.is.thus.independent.of.the.ventilation.of.the.room..
For. connection,. any. pipe. (even. plastic). resistant. to.
80°C.can.be.used..The.length.of.the.pipe.with.socket.
diameter.is.unlimited.
