the cooker is not compatible with the chimney, this will lead to weaker burning and contamination
of the glass with soot.
The chimney has to be high enough (not less than 5m.) It’s allowed only one more appliance to
be connected to the same chimney. The flue draught of the chimney has to be over 10Pa, and over
15 Pa for cookers with water boiler. If the chimney is very high (flue draught over 35Pa) it is
necessary to install additional valve for reducing the flue draught. The internal shape of the
chimney has to be even and round to its full length, not square or with changing shape.
To ensure safe operation, the cooker has to be connected to the chimney by means of a spigot
on the wall, and the connection has to be sealed very well. The connecting fluepipe between the
cooker and the spigot has to be as short as possible, this means not to use horizontal and angular
connected fluepipes. It is recommended to use not more than two crooked fluepipes, in order to
avoid tar accumulation on the horizontal fluepipes and the chimney, which therefore leads to lower
flue draught in the chimney.
The fluepipe does not have to enter in the chimney because this will reduce its draught.
The cooker should not be connected to a chimney, when there is already connected appliance
with water boiler.
The chimney has to be designed in a way that it will allow easy mechanical cleaning.
The floor, where the cooker will be placed, should be smooth and leveled, made of non-
combustible materials (such as mosaic, marble, terracotta, etc.), and possessing the required load
capacity.
If the floor in front of the cooker is not heat resistant (carpets, linoleums or others of the same
kind) a stable, non-combustible platform should be used, (made of steel, glass or ceramic, etc),
which should come out: 50 cm in front and 30 cm from both sides, measured from the firedoor of
the cooker.
Distances at which the cooker should be installed for fire precaution:
Distance to near combustible materials:
Plamak, Metalurgia
in front -80сm, side -40сm, back -40сm
Plamak В
in front -80сm, side -30сm, back -30сm
If there are any easy inflammable materials and constructions, the cooker should be 80 cm
away from them or it has to be supplied with non-combustible shield. The upper surface (frames
and plates) should stay at least 1m away.
If the cookers are supplied with: decorative rail – 1pce. and decorative sphere – 2 pcs., then the
installation is made in the following way: on the decorative rail mount decorative sphere – 2 pcs,
after that they are installed on the cooker frame by means of the given connecting elements: screw
М5х12 DIN 933 – 2pcs, washer М5, DIN 125 – 2pcs and washer 2 5 L DIN 127. The mounting is done
when the firedoor and the oven door are opened.
On cooker Plamak and Plamak В are mounted:
- handle for oven door 2 pcs. by means of screw M5x45 -4 pcs
- small handle – 1pce., by means of screw М5х14- 2pcs and a washer М5 – 2pcs.

4.1. Fuel materials.
The most appropriate fuels are dry cleaved wood (wood logs) and briquettes. The wood logs,
stored in the open under sheds, reach a humidity level of 10-15% after 2 years, when they are most
suitable for combustion. We recommend to burn wood dried as much as possible. The maximum
heat output of the cooker is reached after burning wood logs dried for at least 2 years period of
time.
