1. STOVE INSTALLATION
The stove must be installed in accordance with applicable civil engineering regulations and fire
protection regulations.
Connecting the stove to the chimney is made laterally and from above, whereas, selection between
the left or the right side is optional.
The stove must be placed in a horizontal position.
If the floor is made of combustible material (wood, plastics, carpeting...), make sure to place a
protective underlay made of steel, copper or other fire-resistant material. The dimensions of protective
underlay must be larger than the dimensions of the stove by at least 30 cm on both sides and by at
least 50 cm at the front of the stove.
Pieces of furniture made of wood or plastics must be at a distance of at least 20 cm from both sides of
the firebox. Installation elements made of combustible elements must be at a distance of at least 80
cm from the lateral side of the firebox opening.
The walls must also be fire-resistant along their entire height and at least 50 cm of their width on both
sides, as well as in front of the firebox. Safe clearances to objects which need to be protected (e.g.
combustible walls, walls containing combustible elements, kitchen furniture and reinforced concrete
load-bearing walls) must be at least 20 cm or 40 cm at the side of the firebox.
Around the stove, sufficient clearance to combustible objects (objects covered with wood, furniture,
curtains etc) needs to be provided.
If the stove’s steel plate is to be used, additional elements may not be installed above the stove.
Minimum clearances from combustible materials must be provided when installing fixing elements.
Wall clearance must be 20 cm and ceiling clearance must be 40 cm. Before connecting the stove to
the chimney, you must consult your local chimneysweeper. Stoves are connected to the chimney by
using appropriate flue duct connection elements in accordance with the standard JUS.M.R4.031 (DIN
1298 or DIN EN 1856-2). Make sure that the width of the flue duct connection is not smaller than the
diameter of the stove’s flue duct and that it is appropriately sealed. In general, you should conform to
the standard DIN 18160.
In order to achieve the desired stove efficiency, it must be properly installed and the chimney must
operate perfectly.
Before you start using your stove, test the existing pressure in the chimney.
Draft intensity in the chimney can be easily checked, by placing a candle near the chimney opening.
The draft is satisfactory if the candlelight bends towards the chimney. If the candlelight slightly bends,
this indicates low draft intensity.
For installation of two stoves on the same floor and for their connection to one chimney, their
connecting points must be located at a distance of at least 50 cm.
2. DRAFT REGULATOR LEVER
Draft regulator is activated using the handle (Figure 2, Item 7)
located above the oven door. Regulator is opened by pulling
the handle out. The regulator is closed by pushing the handle
in. This regulator reduces the flue gas flow when lighting the
fire.
Draft regulator should be opened only when lighting the fuel,
while the stove is cold.
If the draft regulator is open after lighting the fire, the stove
may become overheated and its parts may become damaged
as a result, and the oven baking quality may be affected.
In addition thereto, an open draft regulator results in higher
consumption of the fuel.
