Fireplace stoves with CAI are very suitable for installation into low-energy houses. It is also possible to equip
the heating system of some fireplace stoves with CAI with electronic combustion regulation to increase
comfort. This can additionally increase the combustion process and stoking intervals, increase operation
safety and prevent uneconomic heating and over-heating of fireplace stoves (the shutter of the central air
intake is controlled by a control unit and servomotor in relation to the current combustion phase and output
exhaust temperature).
Warning:
The fireplace stoves are not manufactured to provide continual heating and are intended for periodic
interrupted operation, mostly due to the need to empty the ashpan when the ash has cooled down.
3. Safety regulations
The fireplace stoves may be used in normal environments. In case of change of environment that could cause a
temporary danger of fire or explosion (e.g. gluing linoleum, PVC, working with paints, etc), the fireplace stove
must be put out of operation in time, i.e. before the occurrence of the dangerous situation. Furthermore, the
fireplace stoves can be used only after the room is thoroughly aired, preferably by wind draft.
A supply of sufficient amount of combustion air and room ventilation air must be ensured when the fireplace
stoves are in operation, especially with another heat device running simultaneously (approx. 8 to 15 m
3
for
burning 1 kg of fuel)! When doors and windows are tightly sealed, this might not be the case! This is solved by a
CAI connected into a separate room. The regulation grate for combustion, ventilation and heating air must not be
obstructed. When stoking fuel, always open the door very slowly. You will prevent smoke and ash from escaping
into the room. The fireplace stoves require casual attendance and inspection.
Flammable fuels must not be used for stoking or heating! In addition, burning plastic material of any kind, wood
materials with various chemical bonding agents (chipboards, etc) or unsorted domestic waste with remaining
plastics is prohibited.
Make sure to prevent children from handling the fireplace stoves
during heating. The fireplace stove may only
be operated by an adult person!
During heating all handles and knobs must be operated using a pair of tongs, hook or by a hand protected by a
glove (pot-holder) - there's a danger of burns! Objects made from flammable materials that could be set on fire
must not be stored on the fireplace stoves during operation and while hot. Please pay special attention when
handling the ashpan and when removing hot ash due to danger of burns! The hot ash must not get in contact with
flammable objects - e.g. when throwing in communal waste containers.
When the fireplace stove is used only seasonally and with unfavorable draft or weather conditions, special
attention must be paid when putting the stove into operation. When the fireplace stove is not in operation for a
longer period of time, the flue ways must be checked for obstructions before further operation.
The appropriate safety regulations for fireplace stove operation and installation must be adhered to, especially:
Safe distance:
Safe distance of fireplace stoves from flammable materials
When installing the fireplace stove in a place containing flammable materials belonging to class B, Cl and C2, the
required safe distance is 80 cm from doors and 20 cm in other directions, unless otherwise specified by the
manufacturer refer to the Technical sheet and the Name plate.
When installing the fireplace stove in a place containing flammable materials belonging to class C3, the distance
must be doubled. When the prescribed safe distance of the heater from the flammable materials cannot be kept,
it is necessary to use a protective screen.
