occur..If.the.stove.is.lined.with.tiles,.a.fine.microcrack.
structure.will.appear.on.the.tiles..This.is.not.a.defect;.it.
is.a.natural.accompaniment.of.heat.stress.of.the.glaze..
Sounds.ocuring.during.the.heating.up.or.cooling.of.the.
stove.do.not.signalize.any.defect.either..
During. the. hardening. of. varnish,. sufficient. room.
ventilation.must.be.ensured.and.pets.or.birds.must.not.
stay.in.the.room.where.varnish.vapours.are.present.
5.1 Fire lighting
Insert. some. crumpled. paper. into. the. combustion.
chamber.and.put.small.pieces.of.wood.on.it..Lighting.
the. fire. is. very. easy. with. a. solid. firelighter.. After.
lighting,.leave.the.fire.to.flare.up.freely.with.both.the.
primary.and.the.secondary.inlets.open..It.is.prohibited.
to.use.flammable.liquids.(such.as.benzine,.paraffin.oil,.
etc.).for.lighting.the.fire..As.soon.as.the.fire.starts.to.burn.
and.the.draught.is.sufficient,.bigger.logs.or.briquettes.
can. be. inserted. without. fear. of. excessive. smoke..The.
combustion.air.will.enter.to.the.fuel.from.below.through.
the. grate.. Insert. maximum. the. given. amount. of. fuel.
depending.on.the.rated.stove.output..Fuel.consumption.
is.given.in.the.respective.technical.data.tables..Burning.
intensity.can.be.regulated.by.means.of.the.primary.air.
control.elements.or.by.reducing.the.chimney.draught,.if.
there.is.a.smoke.flap.installed..Bigger.amounts.of.fuel.or.
big.draught.and.air.inlet.may.result.in.stove.overheating.
and. damage.. Little. draught. (less. than. 9Pa). will. cause.
blackening.of.the.glasses.and.smoke.may.escape.to.the.
room.when.the.stove.door.is.open..
Note:Divided.rated.heat.output,.e.g..Pj=.6+4.means.
-. 6. kW. will. move. to. the. heated. room. due. to. heat.
exchange.processes,.4.kW.will.be.absorbed.by.the.hot.
water.exchanger..Heat.output.of.all.connected.radiators.
at.required.room.temperature.must.correspond.with.the.
exchanger. output.. These. specifications. are. available.
from.the.manufacturer.of.the.radiators..The.exchanger.
will. also. absorb. a. part. of. the. free. heat. loss. in. burnt.
gases,.which.increases.the.stove.efficiency.
5.2 Removing the ashes
Take.care.to.empty.the.ashpan.as.soon.as.it.is.half.full;.
the.cone.of.ashes.may.grow.close.to.the.grate.and.the.
grate.may.be.damaged.by.overheating..The.ashes.would.
also.reduce.the.input.of.combustion.air..Put.the.ashes.
into.closed.inflammable.containers..Wood.ashes.can.be.
also.used.as.fertilizer.
Take.particular.care.when.removing.hot.ashes!
5.3 Recommended fuel
Guaranteed.fuel,.with.which.rated.stove.parameters.
will.be.achieved,.are.dry.logs.with.a.diameter.of.5-8.cm.
and.length.of.20-30.cm.or.wood.ecobriquettes..
Smaller,. drier. and. softer. pieces. of. wood. will. burn.
more.quickly;.it.means.that.the.appliance.has.a.bigger.
output,. but. also. bigger. fuel. consumption,. and. vice.
versa.
Garbage,.coal,.coke,.and.plastic.must.not.be.burned.
in.the.stove..
The.combustion.of.such.matters.pollutes.the.air.and.
damages.the.stove.and.the.chimney..The.wood.should.be.
stored.outside.for.about.2.years.and.should.be.protected.
from. rain.. Wood. dampnes. should. not. exceed. 20. %..
Loppings.and.very.small.pieces.of.wood.should.be.used.
only.for.lighting.the.fire.
During. heating,. the. rated. stove. output. given. in. the.
technical.data.table.should.be.kept,.which.means.that.the.
given.fuel.amount.will.be.burned.per.hour.
There. is. a. risk. of. stove. damage. if. the. stove. is.
overloaded.for.a.long.time.
Note:.The.fuel.value.is.the.same.for.all.kinds.of.wood;.
their.specific.weight.is.different..That.is.why.the.given.
fuel.consumption.is.in.kg/h.
6. Accessories
Potholder. (glove).. For. some. types. a. hook. for. grate.
manipulation.is.available.
7. Maintenance and repair
Your. stove. is. a. top. quality. product. and. no. defects.
occur. during. normal. operation.. Cleaning. the. fireplace.
stove. thoroughly. once. a. year. should. be. sufficient..
Always.perform.cleaning.only.if.the.stove.is.cold..We.
recommend. you. to. ask. a. chimneyer. to. do. the. stove.
cleaning;.he.will.also.check.and.examine.the.stove.
If.the.door.glass.is.blackened,.it.can.be.cleaned.with.
a. newspaper. or. a. damp. cloth. soaked. in. wood. ashes,.
eventually. with. a. special. glass. cleaner.. Do. not. use.
cleaning.agents.that.may.scratch.the.glass.!
Stove storage and operation must be ensured
in a dry area
,.as.the.fireproof.colour.is.not.moisture.
resistant.
Stove.cleaning.(except.the.glass).is.performed.without.
the. use. of. water. cleaning. agents,. e.g.. by. vacuuming.
or. brushing.. Any. modifications. of. the. appliance. are.
inadmissible.. Only. use. manufacturer. approved. spare.
parts.For.tile.stoves,.the.tiles.must.not.be.cleaned.with.
a. wet. cloth;. use. a. slightly. damp. cloth. and. perform.
cleaning. only. if. the. stove. is. cold..
Lubricate the
abrasive surfaces of the door hinges and the closing
