correspond to the maximum allowed fuel batch (see table "TECHNICAL SHEET“) for about 5 to 6
hours. Thanks to these high temperatures (maximum performance), the paint is reinforced.
Hardening of
the paint on the fireplace insert might be accompanied by a temporary smell, which will disappear after a while.
Make sure the room is properly aired when burning the paint. Furthermore, ensure that no small
animals or birds are present in the room containing paint exhausts. We also recommend turning off
aquariums air intakes during the first heating.
In general, the heating up and cooling of the fireplace insert is accompanied by a specific sound; this is
intended.
After the fireplace insert and eventually the exchanger cools down, it is possible to begin assembling the
outer coating of the insert.
5.3 Kindling and firing
1. Fireplace inserts with grate - first put crumpled paper into the chamber and then lay chopped wood on it.
You can also used the solid fire-starter to start the fire. After starting fire, let it burn freely with all air regulation
elements open. It is forbidden to use flammable liquid (oil, petroleum, etc.) for starting fire! After the fire
begins to burn and the draft is strong enough, bigger logs might be added without the danger of smoke. Continue
stoking the amount of fuel determined based on the nominal output of the fireplace insert.
2. Fireplace inserts without grate - only secondary air is used for burning; therefore wood logs need to be
stoked first, then chopped wood and finally small cuttings and paper. After starting fire, let it burn freely with all
air regulation elements open.
It is forbidden to use flammable liquid (oil, petroleum, etc.) for starting fire!
After the fire begins to burn and the draft is strong enough, bigger logs might be added without the danger of
smoke. Continue stoking the maximum amount of fuel determined based on the nominal output of the fireplace
insert.
Fuel consumption is always stated in the technical sheet. Burning intensity is regulated by air intake controls
or, if a smoke shutter is installed, by limiting the draft in the chimney. Larger amount of fuel or a strong draft
and air take might cause overheating and damage of the fireplace insert. Too weak draft leads to glass
blackening or to a smoke escaping into the room when opening the door and stoking fuel.
Warning: Fireplace doors must always be closed, with the exception of the first heating, stoking fuel and
removing ash. When the fireplace insert is not in operation for a longer period of time, it is necessary to check
that the flue pipes, chimney and combustion chamber are clear.
5.4 Stoking fuel
In order to prevent smoke escaping into the room when stoking fuel, please follow the following procedure:
Approximately 5 or 10 seconds before opening the fireplace doors open the air intake regulators and then only
slightly open the stoking doors, wait for few seconds for the exhaust gas to get sucked into the chimney and only
then fully open the door. When opening the stoking door, a special attention must be paid to the danger of hot
fire-brands falling out. After stocking fuel, close the door again. After the fuel starts burning (with clear fire),
return the regulator back to its original position. The amount of stoked fuel should correspond to an hourly
consumption value for the concrete fireplace insert (see the technical sheet). Overheating can permanently
damage the fireplace insert construction.
Warning:
To prevent exhaust gas escaping into the room during stoking add fuel after its burning down on
the glowing base.
5.5 Operation during the transition period
The chimney draft (sucking exhaust gas from the fireplace insert) might be weaker during the transition
period, i.e. when the outside temperature is higher than
15°C
, during rainy and humid days or during gust airs.
During this period the fireplace insert should be operated with the minimum possible fuel so that the fire, as well
as the chimney draft could be improved by opening the air intakes.
Tip: During this period a so-called atmospheric plug can be created in the chimney mouth due to the draft
conditions. The plug can caused smoke escaping into the room when lighting fuel. We recommend letting a
piece of paper burn down preferably in the upper part of the combustion chamber before lighting the kindling.
This seemingly negligible smoke is enough to break through the atmospheric plug. Afterwards you can freely
light paper (or solid fire-starter) and be sure that even a humid chimney is clear.
In this period it is also possible to use the same lighting method as for the fireplace inserts without grate (with
no ashpan).
5.6 Ash removal
Make sure that the ashpan is cleaned when being half full in order to prevent the ash reaching too close to the
grate and thus damaging it. At the same time the ash would block the intake of air required for burning.
Removing ash from the ashpan should be carried out when the fireplace stove is cold and preferably ready for
the next heating. A vacuum cleaner designed for cleaning ash with a filter for small filth can be also used for
cleaning the cold ashpans or heater without ashpans. Ash from burnt wood can be used for composts or
fertilizing. Store the ash in closed non-flammable containers.
Warning: Make sure that the ash does not contain any glowing remains of wood that could cause fire in the
waste container.
Warning: For some fireplace insert types the ashpan is located in a basin under the grate and cannot be
removed from the side. The ashpan can be removed only when the heater is cold and not in operation. The
ashpan is accessible after lifting the grate.
Be careful when removing hot ash!
6. Cleaning and maintenance
Your fireplace insert is a high-quality product and no significant defects will appear during normal operation.
Fireplace insert and flue system need to be checked and cleaned regularly and thoroughly before and after the
heating season.
For cleaning and maintenance work you always have to make sure that the stove is not warm!
The surface of the fireplace stove is protected by flame-retardant coating. The flame-retardant coating
is not anticorrosive. Avoid direct contact with water, other cleaning agents, abrasives or solvents.
Clean the surfaces of the fireplace stove with a soft, dry cloth!
6.1 Cleaning the glass
The cleanliness of the window is influenced not only by the using of suitable fuel, providing sufficient air
intake and chimney draft but also by the method of operating the fireplace insert. In this respect we recommend
stoking only one layer of fuel and distributing the fuel as evenly as possible and as far from the glass as
possible. If the glass becomes dirty, try increasing the burning intensity by opening the air intake and the glass
will clean itself.
Sooty windows can be cleaned in cold state using newspapers or wet cloth dipped in wood ash. Usually
also liquid cleaning agents are used for cleaning the stove window. But these may in some cases, depending on
