Occasional heating or heating at intervals should be considered as less favourable or even
unfavourable heating conditions.
Special attention should be paid to:
Stove operation in transitional periods
During the transitional periods (when external temperature exceeds 15°C) problems may be
encountered due to inadequate underpressure in the chimney (poor or no draught). In such a
case, try to achieve necessary underpressure level by warming up the chimney. If it does not
work, do not proceed with the firing.
Ash tray
The ash tray should be regularly emptied. make sure that there is no contact between the ash
tray and the firebox grate, because it may damage the grate.
Firing
Never use spirit, petrol or any other flammable liquid to light the fire. Never keep flammable
liquids or object near the stove!
Care and cleaning
At the end of each heating season, clean the stove and flues from soot deposits.
The stove is painted with a heat resistant paint. After full setting of the paint (i.e. after the second
or third firing) all stove surfaces may be cleaned with soft wet cloth.
The paint above the firebox may fade with time. These surfaces may be repainted with a heat
resistant paint. Such paint is available in specialized stores.
The glass on the firebox door may be cleaned with ordinary window glass cleaner.
Should any problems occur during the stove operation (eg. smoke), contact your chimney
sweeper or the closest Service.
Warranty
The Manufacturer's warranty applies provided that the stove is used in accordance with these
Installation and Operating Instructions.
Space heating capacities
The size of the heated space depends on the heating conditions and thermal insulation.
Subject to the heating conditions to DIN 18891, with individual heat sources having the rated
output of 10 kW, it is possible to heat up the following space volumes:
under favourable conditions 200 m
under less favourable conditions 130 m
under unfavourable conditions 90 m

Any interventions on the stove shall be performed only by qualified and authorised persons and
only original spare parts shall be installed.
During normal operation, especially when wet fuel is used, deposits of soot and tar are created.
In the absence of regular chimney control and cleaning, such deposits increase the risk of fire. In
case of fire inside the chimney, proceed as follows:
• do not use water to extinguish the fire
• close all air supply openings on the stove and chimney
• after having extinguished the fire, call the chimney sweeper to inspect the chimney
• call authorised service or the Manufacturer's customer support service to inspect the
stove.
