1.
Installation Instruction
▪
The heater has been designed to allow simple connection to an existing chimney by a single connecting piece. The
connecting piece must be as short and straight as possible, in a horizontal position or slightly inclined. The piece must
be tight.
▪
Be sure that all local regulations, including those concerning both national and European standards on construction and
fire prevention, are respected during installation. Inform the competent inspector prior to installation. Be sure that
combustion air supply is sufficient; particularly in rooms where windows and doors are closed tight.
▪
Chimney properties shall be calculated in accordance with applicable standards with the three values stated in this
manual (
16.
).
▪
The heater must stand on a hearth with adequate bearing capacity. If bearing capacity is too low, adequate measures
must be taken (e.g. a board must be laid to split weight).
2.
General Safety Instructions
▪
Fuel combustion emits calorific energy that heats the surface of the heater, combustion chamber door, door and control
elements handles, safety glass, flue pipes, and eventually also the front of the heater. Do never touch those parts without
adequate safety wear or elements (fireproof gloves etc.).
▪
Warn children of such danger and make sure they do not stay close to heater when in operation.
3.
Acceptable Fuel
▪
Fuels acceptable for burning include wood logs of up to 17 cm in length and 8 cm in average, and lignite briquettes.
▪
Make sure that only air-dried wood logs are used. Burning of waste, and plastics in particular, is forbidden by law on
emissions. Besides, such fuel may cause damage to the fire place and chimney and subsequently may injure health
and smell may annoy your neighbours. Air dried wood logs with 20% maximum humidity may be obtained after at least
one year (soft wood) or two years (hard wood) of drying.
▪
Wood is not slow combustion fuel and thus, continuous heating throughout the night is not possible when burning wood.
▪
Liquid fuel is unacceptable.
4.
Firing
▪
During the first firing bad smell due to drying of protection paint is inevitable but the smell shall fade quickly. Make sure
the room with the heater is well aerated when firing. Quick firing is essential because incorrect procedure may cause
increased emissions.
▪
When lighting the stove, the primary air slider must be fully open. It is advisable to light the fire with paper, wood chips
and smaller firewood.
▪
Add more fuel as soon as firing fuel catches fire. Do never use alcohol, petrol or other flammable liquids for firing. Do
always use some paper, wood chips, and a small amount of fuel for that. Make sure that primary and secondary air is
supplied to heater when firing. Make sure that heater is under control during firing.
5.
Operating More than One Fireplace
▪
Make sure that combustion air supply is sufficient when operating more than one fireplace in one room or within the
same air system.
6.
Transition Season Operation
▪
When exterior temperature rise during transition season draught can decrease at low burning capacity and flue gas may
not be evacuated completely. In such case add only small quantities of fuel and open the slider of primary air supply so
that loaded fuel burns more quickly (flame) and draught gets steady. Ash needs to be raked carefully more often to
enhance air circulation below fireplace.
7.
Cleaning and Checking
▪
Heater flue pipes need to be checked for deposit and eventually swept at least once a year or more often, e.g. while
sweeping chimney. Make sure your chimney is swept regularly by a chimneysweep. The frequency of sweeping shall
be defined by competent inspector. Heater should be checked by an expert every year.
8.
Versions
▪
Heaters with spring fireplace door can be connected to a chimney with multiple taking for other heaters and fireplaces
provided that dimensions of the chimney are in compliance with applicable standards.
▪
The door of the heater with spring fireplace door must always be closed during operation, except for firing, fuel charging,
and ash removing. Otherwise, operation of other equipment connected to the chimney may be affected or flue gas may
leak.
▪
The heater is designed for intermittent operation.
9.
Combustion Air
▪
Since heaters are fireplaces depending on surrounding air and take combustion air from the room, adequate intake of
combustion air is vital.
▪
In rooms with tight windows and doors (e.g., as energy-saving measure) fresh air intake may be low and thus affect
draught of the heater. Also, your well-being may be affected; even your safety may be threatened. It may sometimes be
necessary to assure adequate intake of fresh air e.g., by installing air shutter close to heater or by combustion air pipe
leading to exterior or to a well aerated room (except boiler room). In particular it is vital that combustion air pipes are
