4. SAFETY MEASURES
The STN 92 0300 fire protection guidelines must be respected during installation.
If flammable construction materials and objects of flammability classes B, C1, or C2 by STN 73 0823 in proximity, the wood heater and the
respective flue pipe must be installed in a safe distance which is at least 600 mm on the sides and 300 mm from the rear face of such objects.
The safety distance is double if the cooker with the flue way were in proximity of materials of flammability class C3. The same applies to cases
when flammability is not proved.
The safety distance may be half if non-flammable insulating shade of minimum thickness 5 mm is installed leaving 25mm space between the shade
and the protected flammable object.
If the floor is made of some flammable material, place the cooker on a non-flammable heat-isolation mount going beyond the wood heater’s frontal
face ground limit by 300 mm and by l00 mm for other faces.
The shade protecting the harmful object must go beyond the dimensions of the cooker and the smoke pipes by at least l50 mm on each side and by at
least 300 mm over the top.
5. RECOMMENDED FUEL
Fuel recommended to be burnt in the cooker includes: lignite briquettes, dry hard wood.
Caution:
Do never burn waste such as wall-paper, chipboards, or plastics! Also the following fuels are unacceptable: fine chips, bark and chipboard
waste, slack coal, wet wood or impregnated wood.
6. FIRST OPERATION
Prior to the first operation, make sure that:
1)
legs supplied along the cooker are mounted, for models FIKO 70 A, FIKO 70 Nostalgia, FIKO 70 Nostalgia B, FIKO 70 Ratio, FIKO 70
Plus
2)
draught shaft is mounted on the cook-top, for model FIKO 70 Ratio, FIKO 70 Plus and FIKO 70 Nostalgia B
3)
accessory equipment has been taken out of the ash box or the fireplace, the same applies to eventual transport security elements.
The cooker surface has been oiled for protection against corrosion; therefore wipe the cooker with a dry cloth prior to first operation.
Put fuel carefully in the cooker and heat the cooker with light fire. All materials must get used to heat gradually. Careful firing will prevent insulation
to crack, lacquer to deteriorate and materials to strain. Possible smell of lacquer of protecting oil drying will fade soon.
7. FIRING
Put paper or firing cube on the grill, add wood chips or finely chopped wood of small pieces of briquettes atop. Open both air supply sliders, i.e.
1)
rotary primary air slider on the ash box door and
2)
secondary air slider below the cooker bottom (next to ash box door), for FIKO 70 Ratio, FIKO 70 Plus it is the rotary slider on the firing
door
to the maximum position 1 (= open). Set the firing flap valve on 1 (= open). After firing the fireplace door must be shut. When the fire burns well
add one dose of wood or briquettes through the fireplace door. At that moment ash box door must be kept shut.
8. HEATING
In through of heating the oven´s door must to be opened!
Burning wood:
Nominal heating capacity can be obtained with 2-3 wood logs (about 2.2 kg). Ash box door must be kept shut. Use only primary air slider to burn
fuel down. Shut the rotary primary air slider on the ash box door after approximately 10 minutes.
Burning down rate depends on local conditions including the chimney draught and air supply sliders positions.
