INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLATION, USE AND HANDLING
This instruction for installation, use and handling apply for the following types of cook-
stoves:
KMŠ 70 FAVORIT, KMŠ 70 STANDARD, KMŠ 70 TERMO
KVŠ 90H FAVORIT, KVŠ 90H STANDARD, KVŠ 90H TERMO
Generally, regulations on firing must be observed, both local and applicable local,
national and European norms and regulations.
Important before use
∗ In order to ensure proper functioning of your cook-stove, it is important to carefully
read this manual and to precisely observe the instructions given herein.
∗ Use only recommended types of fuel: brown coal, beech wood.
∗ Required chimney pressure under normal operating load should be 12 Pa. Under
loads higher than 15 Pa, a damper should be fitted into flue pipe.
∗ In the room where firing equipment is installed, sufficient supply of fresh air has to
be ensured. If the windows and doors are properly sealed, or if some other air-
reducing device such as steam aspirator, laundry dryer, fan etc. is present in the room
where the cook-stove is fitted, in such circumstances, combustion air (fresh air) must
be supplied from outside. In any case, this has to be considered with chimney
sweeper in charge before the cook-stove is installed.
∗ Combustible materials must not be kept in ash pan. Charging height should not
exceed the height of side walls of ash drawer.
∗ Fire box door and ash pan door should be permanently closed (except during
firing up the stove, additional fuel charging and ash removal) in order to
prevent outlet of gases from fire.
∗ Cook-stove parts should not be replaced except with original and tested parts
and accessories offered by our company or our service department.
∗ In the event that chimney fire occurs, cook-stove door should be kept closed and
air inlet control should be set to zero. Never try to extinguish burning chimney
with the use of water. Due to sudden formation of steam, chimney may break. If
needed, call your local fire department.

2. COOK-STOVE INSTALLATION
During the installation of the cook-stove, applicable building and fire-protection
regulations and provisions must be observed.
Cook-stove should be installed by the experts.
Connecting of cook-stove to chimney is carried out on lateral side, rear side and on top
left or right. Depending on what you have chosen - „left-hand“ or „right-hand“ cook-
stove. Take care that the location of cook-stove is horizontal. If the floor is inflammable
(wood, plastics, carpet ...), sheet metal should surround cook-stove exceeding its basic
outline for at least 30 cm, and 50 cm at the handling side.
On all the sides, clearance requirements from the cook-stove to furniture made of wood
or plastics should be no less than 20 cm, and no less than 30 cm at lateral side. The

5
distance of incorporated parts made of combustible materials from charging opening to
lateral sides must be minimum 80 cm.
Safety clearance to objects that should be protected (combustible walls, walls containing
combustible building blocks, kitchen closets and steel concrete bearing walls) should be
no less than 20 cm, and 30 cm laterally.
Sufficient clearance should be ensured around the cook-stove in relation to combustible
objects (objects with wooden sheathing, furniture, curtains and like).
When cook-stove steel plate is used, superstructures above the cook-stove are not
allowed.
If pipes for exhaust gases are moved, minimum clearance of 40 cm to combustible
materials should be observed:
Before the cook-stove is connected to chimney, chimney-sweeper in charge for that
area must be consulted.
Cook-stove shall be connected to the chimney with the use of appropriate connecting
components according to JUS.M.R4.031 (DIN 1298. or DIN EN 1856-2).
Care should be taken that socket for connection to the chimney and chimney flue does
not enter the cross-section of the chimney exhaust gas pipe and to be mutually sealed.
DIN 18 160 has to be generally observed.
For chimney gauges EN 13 384 applies.
In order to achieve desired capacity, your cook-stove must be properly installed and first
and foremost chimney has to function flawlessly.
In any case, existing chimney pressure should be tested before putting the cook-stove into
operation.
The simplest method of chimney draught control is to hold lighted candle under the
chimney opening. The draught is sufficient if candle flame bends towards the chimney
opening.
Slight bending of candle flame means that the draught is weak.
If two firing facilities are installed on one floor and one masonry chimney (multiple
loads), the distance between the connections can be no less than 50 cm.

3. HANDLING
FIRE DOOR HANDLE
In case that firebox door handle gets too
hot, door closing and opening is only
possible with special key from the
existing accessories (Figure 2, Item 8).
Figure 2
PRIMARY AIR
Primary air for combustion, and thereby heating capacity of cook-stove, is determined
with primary combustion air. This air is regulated by primary air control located on the
ash pan door (Figure 3, Item 9). Button on the ash pan door (Figure 3, Item 9) shows the
direction of slide-door opening and closing. When the cook-stove is lighted, air control
should be maximally opened (button to be placed in position no. 3).
AIR FLOW CONTROL
Figure 3

7
Note: In order to prevent cook-stove overheating, quantity of fuel must not be larger than
1.8 kg of dry wood or 1.7 kg of brown coal briquette per hour with corresponding
combustion air setting.
3.2.2 SECONDARY AIR
With secondary air supply (Figure 4, from above, over the fuel, flow of combustion
air) to the fuel which is used, combustion with minimum harmless substances is
achieved.
Secondary air control is shown in Figure 4, Item 10. Secondary air is regulated with a
lever located on inner side of firebox door. On inner side of firebox door, designation 0-1
is visible. If the lever is moved in the direction of “0”, volume of secondary air is
decreased, while in the direction of “1” it is increased.
HEATING FLAP

Heating flap is operated when button (Figure 5, Item 11) located above the oven door is
actuated. This button is used to shorten the ways of flue gases during firing.
Heating flap should be opened only in the stage of stove kindling.
During firing, open heating flap causes stove overheating and hence the damages of stove
parts.
Besides, open heating flap results in higher consumption of fuel.
Button not pressed = heating flap open
Button pressed = heating flap closed
3.4 OVEN DOOR (Figure 1, Item 6)
Oven door can be set in one of two positions, by choice, depending on desired heat in the
room.
Oven door open: higher radiation of heat for heating the room.
Oven door closed: lower radiation of heat for heating the room.
Oven door can be removed without tools: handle of slightly opened door should be
gripped and the door pulled upwards. Reinstallation of the door is carried out by
introducing the both hinges into corresponding openings, on the oven front, while the
pressure is applied with knee on the lower door edge, along with simultaneous light
pulling the handle upwards.
When the cook-stove is in operation, oven door must be installed.
Fuel drawer (Figure 1, Item 4)
In the lower part of the cook-stove, fuel compartment is located having sliding guides
which enable easy movement thereof.
Attention: Easily inflammable materials should not be stored in that compartment, such
as paper etc.
When filling, take care of height.
4. PUTTING THE COOK-STOVE INTO OPERATION
Before the first time the stove is lighted and fired, enameled surfaces have to be erased
with soft dry cloth in order to prevent stain formation.
After getting acquainted with cook-stove operation, you can light the cook-stove for the
first time. The first time the cook-stove is operated, windows are to be open because

9
corrosion protection coating may develop obnoxious but insignificant smoke. This is
normal and disappears after short time.
Take into consideration that some integral parts of the cook-stove (exhaust gas pipe,
charging door etc.), when the cook-stove is lit, may be hot and present danger of burns.
Special attention to safety should be paid, especially where children are present.
The first two or three times you light the cook-stove, the fire should be moderate, so that
the fire-clay would not crack.
4.1. FIRING
* Pull out the button of heating flap. Flap should remain open.
* Open primary air control so as to enable maximum primary air supply (Figure 3, Item
9).
* Open firebox door.
* Put secondary air control (Figure 4, Item 10) into position 1.
* Put in wood wool, wood sawdust or paper.
* Put 2 or 3 small pieces of wood on top of it.
* Light the fire.
* Close the firebox door.
* Leave the wood to burn lively.
* Press in heating flap button, kindling flap is closed.
4.2 REFUELLING
After the basic firebed is established, add the fuel into charging opening.
Set air control to corresponding designated position (put the button into position 1-3).
When refueling, you should slightly open firebox door in order to ensure withdrawal of
flue gases and avoid flue gases in the room.
You will achieve nominal heating capacity when you use the following fuel quantities
and set the following:
For KMŠ 70 cook-stove:
Fuel Fuel quantity Burning time Primary air
setting
Secondary air
setting
Chopped wood 1.8 kg
2 short wood logs
1.0 h Rate 1 1
Brown coal
briquette
3.3 kg
6 whole briquettes
2.0 h Rate 1.5 0.5

10
For KVŠ 90H cook-stove:
Fuel Fuel quantity Burning time Primary air
setting
Secondary air
setting
Chopped wood 1.8 kg
2 short wood
logs
1.0 h Rate 1 1
Brown coal
briquette
3.3 kg
6 whole
briquettes
2.0 h Rate 1.5 1
Take care not to feed more wood or brown coal briquette than needed for nominal
heating capacity.
The abovementioned fuel quantity must not be exceeded or else the cook-stove may
overheat.
Only naturally dried wood or brown coal briquette can be used according to the
Regulation on Emission Protection.
The wood that is used must be dry (moisture content less than 20%). That is usually the
case when wood is stored for two years in dry place with good ventilation. Wet wood has
small calorific value and causes formation of soot deposits in flueways and chimney.
Wood with surface treatment (lacquered, painted, veneered or impregnated, plywood,
waste of any kind, like packaging waste, plastic, newspaper, rubber, leather, fabric etc.)
must not be fired.
Combustion of such materials contaminates the environment and therefore it is forbidden
by law. Moreover, masonry chimney may be damaged. In such case, all kinds of
warranties given by the manufacturer shall be cancelled.
Under the adverse chimney draught conditions, disturbances may occur so that flue gases
are not completely discharged. In such case, fire shall be made as a “decoy” to masonry
chimney. If this does not help to establish chimney draught, than the operation of cook-
stove is forbidden for safety reasons.
Note: Better efficiency of fuel and hence better space heating is achieved by opening the
oven door, slightly or completely.
4.3 COOKING
Cook-stove is equipped with grate for winter and summer operation.
The grate is to be pushed back and lifted in order to be moved from lower to upper
position.

11
In inclined position, shaking grate arm is removed and after that shaking grate is
pulled out through the charging opening.
Then shaking grate support is lifted and pulled out. After that, integral parts of the
grate can be positioned, in reverse order, in the upper position. In the upper recess,
shaking grate arm shall be moved to the cook-stove front and lifted through ash
compartment in such a way that grate tooth is locked in the opening on shaking
grate arm.
4.2 SUMMER COOKING
During warm days, solid fuel cook-stove is mainly used for cooking.
Oven door is kept closed. It is best to use a pot with thick bottom and appropriate lids.
4.3 WINTER COOKING
During colder days, solid fuel cook-stove is mainly used for space heating. In order to
cook more quickly, use dry wood.
Heating flap must be closed and air control maximally opened. After the cooking is
completed, air control shall be positioned at location designated for the nominal heat
capacity.
4.4 BAKING CAKES AND ROASTING MEAT
For baking the cakes and roasting the meat, uniform distribution of heat is required. In
order to achieve this uniformity and sufficiently high temperature, the oven must be
closed, as well as heating flap, depending on the type of baking. In addition, oven should
be preheated. If the cook-stove is heated to desired temperature, put whatever you want to
bake into oven.
Do not let creation of very strongly glowing embers. Instead, continuously add small
quantities of fuel.
High cooking utensils should be placed in lower compartment (rack) of the oven. All the
cakes having that shape should be baked at moderate temperatures.
When baking flat cakes and baked goods, both compartments can be used. In such case,
somewhat higher oven temperature is recommended.
For roasting meat, significantly higher temperature is required than in tha case of baking
cakes. Therefore, preparation time (preheating) is somewhat longer than when baking
cakes.

12
4.5 FIRING IN TRANSITIONAL PERIODS
At outside temperatures above 15°C, due to small transport pressure, small fire occurs in
chimney thus creating more soot in cook-stove flueways and masonry chimney. Increase
primary air supply, stoke fire more often, and add smaller pieces of chopped wood more
often in order to decrease soot formation in transitional periods.
5. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE COOK-STOVE
Regular maintenance and care such as the cleaning of cook-stove, flueways and chimney
pots are especially important for safe operation, economy and preserving the value of
cook-stove.
Maintenance of enameled cook-stove surfaces is only recommended in cold state. Cook-
stove should be cleaned with clean water and soft cloth, and in special cases with
soapsuds.
Cleaning intervals mainly depend on the usage of fuel, time of cook-stove use, and the
way of use thereof.
Unnecessary formation of dust can be avoided if the following cleaning schedule is
observed.
* Removal of cooking plate and thorough cleaning thereof.
* Cleaning from soot and deposits on the top side of oven and at locations where
heating gases pass.
* Placing the plate.
* Opening the protective cover (under oven door) and removal thereof for cleaning.
* Removal of soot and ashes from partition sheet metal.
* Removal of soot and ashes from cook-stove bottom.
* Fixing the protective cover at the front and reclosing thereof.
5.1. CLEANING OPENING
Figure 6

13
A cover is located behind the protective cover of cleaning opening (Figure 6, Item 12). It
is fixed with one thumb-lock on the front of the stove and must be removed in order to
enable cleaning the cook-stove interior.
Before the cover is again fixed with screws, sealing braid located at the cover should be
checked for good sealing and, if needed, replaced.
5.2 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING OF COOKING PLATE
For the cleaning of cooking plate, fine sandpaper or abrasive detergent should be used.
After cleaning, the plate should be erased with half-wet cloth and at the end with dry
cloth.
Take care that that expansion grooves around the plate are free, without crust in order to
enable expansion of the plate under the influence of heat.
Baked food residues or slag pieces in expansion grooves may cause cooking plate
deformation.
Do not leave pots or pans on cold cooking plates.
Corrosion edges can form which are difficult to remove.
5.3 SLAG AND ASH REMOVAL
Slag is removed with accessories which are delivered with stove, i.e. ashes removal
device – slider.
Ash pan should be regularly emptied before each lighting the cook-stove.
1 – 2 times a week, grate should be cleaned. If air vents are blocked with slag, baked
crust or other burnt residues, the grate should be completely removed and cleaned.
5.4 GENERAL NOTES
