Fuel Box
The fuel box is located at the bottom part of the stove (Figure 1, Item 6) and it can be easily moved
using guides.
Warning! Flammable material such as paper and similar material may not be stored in this box. Be
careful of the height to which the box is filled.
4. STARTING THE STOVE
Before lighting the fire for the first time, all enameled surfaces should be wiped off with a soft
cloth
to prevent staining.
After you have studied the operating instructions, you may start the stove. When lighting the fire for
the first time, open the windows because when the fire starts burning, the corrosion prevention agent
briefly develops unpleasant smoke and smell, which is normal. It stops after a short period of time.
You must take into account that some installed parts (flue duct, firebox door) become overheated and
create a fire hazard. All areas of the stove may become very hot during its operation. It creates a fire
hazard. Considering the fact that all serviceable parts of the stove become heated (door handles), use
a special purpose wrench, which is delivered together with the stove.
Keep small children at sufficient distance from the stove.
When lighting the fire for the first time, first light a fire which is three times smaller, to avoid rupture of
fire bricks.
4.1
STARTING AND OPERATING THE STOVE
* Pull out the draft regulator lever handle to light the stove,
* open the firebox door,
* place woodchips, sawdust or paper inside the box,
* on this pile, place 2-3 small pieces of wood,
* light the fire,
* close the firebox door,
* let the wood catch fire,
* after the fire has been successfully lighted and the stove is well heated, push the draft regulator
handle in.
After a layer of hot fragments is formed, add the fuel.
When adding the fuel, slowly open the firebox door to keep the smoke moving in the right direction
and prevent it from entering the room.
Nominal heating power is reached when the following quantities of fuel and by adjusting air flow in
accordance with the information given in the following table.
Fuel
Quantity
Combustion time
Logs
1.5 kg
1.0 h
Brown coal briquettes
2.7 kg
2.0 h
Make sure that you never add a larger quantity of firewood than necessary. The quantity of fuel must
not exceed the ones specified above, because it may cause the stove to become overheated.
It is recommended to use naturally dried firewood.
Burning varnished, coated, veneered and impregnated wood, as well as wood containing adhesive, is
forbidden. In such events, the manufacturer’s warranty shall be invalid. Burning waste is very harmful
to the environment and it is prohibited by law. Firewood must be dry (max. remaining moisture 20%).
This is achieved by storing the wood for two years in a well ventilated dry place. Damp wood has a
lower heating power and causes formation of deposits in the chimney’s flue ducts.
Under unfavorable air flow conditions, flue gases cannot be fully disposed off. In such events, the
stove may not be used for safety reasons.
