INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Glas Franklin is shipped in a carton box fixed on a transport pallet. Preferably, the stove should be unpacked
at the place of installation. The stove is designed for rear of top flue connection.
The stove is delivered prepared for top flue connection. With two screws M6x20, fix the flue connection
collar to the top plate.
To connect the stove on the rear side, remove the rear guard plate cover (309.2) and flue opening cover
(040). Install flue connection. Fix the flue opening cover on the top plate (041), figure 2, page 46.
Install the front plinth (004.1) as shown on the cover page figure.
Ambient requirements
If the stove is to be installed in a room with combustible or heat sensitive flooring, it shall be placed on a solid,
non-combustible floor protector. The floor protector shall be dimensioned to extend at least 60 cm to the
front of the stove and 40 cm to the rear and lateral sides.
Minimum back and lateral clearance between the stove and heat sensitive materials is 20 cm.
Minimum clearance between the stove and heat sensitive materials exposed to direct heat radiation in front
of the stove is 120 cm.
Make sure that the stove is placed on a level surface in a room with sufficient fresh air supply to support
combustion.
If any aspirator (hood) or a similar air consuming unit is installed in the same room, a separate
opening, protected with anti-clogging mesh, shall be provided for regular fresh air inflow.
Connecting the stove to the chimney
For the stove connection to the chimney, use common (standard) stovepipes and elbows with incorporated
dampers. Nominal diameter of the stovepipe is
Ø
150 mm.
Make sure that the stovepipes (elbows) and firmly and tightly inserted in the flue connection collar. Also,
make sure that stovepipe sections are tightly fastened together and that the connections of the stovepipe
with the flue outlet and with the chimney outlet are firm and tight. The stovepipe shall not protrude into the
cross section of the chimney. In mounting the Stove please follow the national and European standards as
well as the local regulations applicable to this type of appliances.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
First firing
Considering that the stove is made of cast iron, tendency of this material to develop cracks due to sudden
and uneven heat loads shall be taken into account.
Therefore, with first firing of the stove (at least 10
hours), burn moderate fire (charging should not be more than half the recommended amount of fuel
for the rated power).
Start the fire with a small amount of crumpled newspaper and thin dry kindling.
Maintain a moderate, evenly burning fire. Read the instructions concerning the air supply controls on your
stove. Some parts of the stove are painted with heat resistant paint. With the first firing, fumes of a
characteristic odour may be given off due to the gradual setting of the paint. Therefore, make sure that the
room is well aired during and after the first firing.
Warning! The paint might be damaged if the first firing is not at moderate heat.
Never place any objects on the stove during the first firing and do not touch painted parts to avoid damage to
unset paint coat.
WARNING! Do not use alcohol and petrol for ignition or re-ignition.
Fuel
Glas Franklin stoves are designed to burn wood.
Use only well-seasoned, dry wood to reduce the likelihood of greasy soot buildup on the chimney walls,
which may cause clogging of the chimney.
