Stove operation in transitional periods
During the transitional periods (when external temperature exceeds 15° C), problems may
be encountered due to insufficient negative pressure (poor or no draught). In such a case try to
achieve necessary negative pressure level by warming up the chimney.
If this does not work, do not proceed with the firing. Opening of a window or a door of the
room during the firing might help to equalize the internal and external air pressure.
Care and cleaning
At the end of each heating season, clean the stove, fluepipes and chimney from soot
deposits. Regular inspection and cleaning is essential for preventing the risk of chimney fire. In
case of chimney fire, proceed as follows:
never use water to extinguish the fire
close all air supply passages to the stove and chimney
having extinguished the fire, call the chimney sweeper to inspect the chimney
call the manufacturer's authorised service to inspect the stove.
External surfaces of the stove are painted with heat resistant paint. After the paint has set
completely (i.e. after the second or third firing), all such surfaces may be cleaned with a soft wet
cloth.
After a prolonged use, the paint may fade away at places. 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 operation (eg. smoke), contact your chimney
sweeper or the closest Service. Any repair/maintenance works on the stove shall be performed
by authorised service personnel and only original spare parts shall be used.
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 place depends on the heating conditions and thermal insulation.
Subject to the heating conditions with individual heat sources of rated output 8 kW, it is
possible to heat up the following space volumes:
under favourable conditions 360 m
under less favourable conditions 240 m
under unfavourable conditions 170 m
Occasional heating or heating at intervals should be considered as less favourable or even
unfavourable heating conditions.
