Plamen Tena N, Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

Page: 20 / 76

Ambient conditions
If the sfove is to be installed in a room with combustible or heat sensitive flooring, a solid non-
combustible floor protector is required under the stove. The floor protector should be dimensioned to
extend at least 40 cm to the back and lateral sides and 60 cm to the front of the stove.
The minimum clearance between the stove (sides and rear) and materials sensitive to heat is 40 cm.
The minimum clearance between the stove and materials sensitive to heat within the area directly
exposed to heat in front of the stove shall be 120 cm.
The stove should be positioned on a level surface, in a room with sufficient fresh air supply to support
the combustion.
If an aspirator (range or fireplace hood) or any other air consuming device is installed in the same
room, make sure to provide for regular inflow of fresh air through a separate opening protected with a
clog-proof grid.
Chimney connection
Common (standard) stovepipes and elbows of inner diameter Ø150 mm, with incorporated damper,
are recommended for the connection to the chimney.
Make sure that the stovepipe and elbow are tightly fastened together and that the connections of the
stovepipe with the flue outlet and with the chimney outlet are firm and tight. The stovepipe shall not
extend beyond the chimney liner, i.e. it must not protrude into the cross section of the chimney.
The stove shall be installed in full compliance with European, national, as well as local applicable
regulations.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
First firing
Considering that the stove is made of cast iron, tendency of this material to develop cracks due to
sudden and uneven heat loads shall be taken into account.
Therefore, with first firing of the stove
(at least 10 hours), burn moderate fire (charging should not be more than half the
recommended amount of fuel for the rated power).
Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled
newspaper and dry kindling .
WARNING! Do not use alcohol and petrol or for ignition or re-ignition.
IMPORTANT:
Prior to proceeding with the first firing, spread a sufficient quantity of ash or sand over the bottom
plate to cover the undulated ribs and the central part of the lower plate including the sliding grate.
When cleaning, i.e. removing the ash, make sure that sufficient ash is left to cover the undulated ribs
and the central part of the lower plate including the sliding grate and thus to ensure long-lasting
ember bed and to protect the lower plate.
The stove is not designed with a conventional but with a sliding grate. It serves only for the removal of
the ash into the ash tray and not for the supply of fresh air to support combustion. If good quality
wood is used, frequent ash cleaning is not required. Make sure that the ash does not clog the
openings on lateral panels for primary air inlet.
The stoves designed without a grate ensure long-lasting ember bed and the fire needs not be
extinguished except before ash removal.
Read the instructions concerning the air supply controls included under the titles “Firing and regular
operation” and “Output adjustment”.
