INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
0. GENERAL INFORMATION

It is generally necessary to comply with applicable national building rules and regulations applying to
fireplaces, and all relevant local, national, and European standard and regulations.
Important to read before use:
- In order for your fireplace stove to function properly, it is important that you read our manual
carefully and comply strictly with instructions contained here.
- Use only the recommended types of fuel. Regulation 1. BlmSchV referring to approved list of fuels is
to be followed.
- Necessary pressure difference (draft) in normal working load should be approximately 12 Pa. When
pressure exceeds 15 Pa, built-in flue damper control should be used.
- Sufficient fresh air incoming to the fireplace hearth should be ensured in the room in which the
fireplace is to be positioned. If windows and doors are tightly sealed or if other devices, such us
exhaust fans, clothes dryers, venting systems or other such devices exhaust air from room with
fireplace, then fresh combustion air should be supplied from outside if needed. In this regards,
before installing fireplace, consulting authorized organization dealing with chimney safety is
necessary in any case.
- No inflammable material should be stored in ash can. Ashes should not build up above the height of
lateral sides of the ash can.
- Door of hearth and ash compartment should always be closed (except when starting fire, adding
woods and removing ashes) in order to prevent warm air to be drawn out of the fireplace opening.
- Fireplace stove must not be altered, unless change is done with our offered and verified original
parts of equipment, and if works are carried out by qualified service team of our factory.
- In case of fire in chimney, door of stove should be closed and outside air kit shut! Never extinguish
chimney fire with water. Water steam creates in strokes in chimney, which can cause explosion. In
case of chimney fire call fire brigade!
- In case of a problem, close all air ducts and do not add fuel to stove until problem is solved!

2. Fireplace description
Fireplace stove differs from other solid fuel stoves in structure, design and certain parts.
Fireplace stove is made of sheet-metal. Cast iron grate enables easy maintaining and cleaning.
Fireplace stove door is made of sheet metal and equipped with sealing all around to ensure hermetic
tightening for proper operation.
1.

Outside surface of the fireplace is made of steel plates 4 mm and 2 mm wide. Hearth is made with
replaceable fire clay plates. Hot outside surfaces radiate heat, especially through glass surface.
Fresh combustion air ducts are located on the fuel door and ash can door, as well as on the back side
of the fireplace furnace.
2.1 Air control
Outside air control is located on fuel door of the fireplace.
Primary air control duct on the lower part of fuel door allows ignition and fuel combustion.
Ash compartment should not be over filled. In order to allow free flow of air, ashes should be removed
regularly. Secondary air control duct is located on the upper part of fuel door. Secondary air supplies
oxygen needed for clean combustion. Additional fixed secondary air nozzle is located on the back side
of fireplace.
Secondary air ducts must not be closed. Bad oxygen inlet causes lamp black deposits on glass and
increases harmful emissions, which could cause lamp black fire in chimney.
3. Handling and use
3.1 Firing
Fireplace surfaces are hot during fireplace operation. Touching them may cause burns.
Handles of control kits (air control, doors) are hot during fireplace operation: when handling fireplace
please use the included protective glove.
Before starting the first fire, check if restoring panel (figure 2) is in the proper position and if ash can is
empty and inserted in its position.
Before starting fire, ensure that air control duct is open. Start fire with paper and chippings. Light the
paper.
Color on the fireplace hardens completely after few hours of fire. Odors and smoke are released during
initial operation. Ensure proper air circulation. Open doors and windows. If needed turn on a fan for
better air circulation. Maximum temperature load should be maintained for at least one hour. If
maximum temperature is not obtained during initial operation, odors and smoke may occur again later.
Pregnant women and children should not be in the room during the initial operation. When chippings
establish hot bed of embers, open door and add fuel in the hearth enough for nominal heat power and
adjust air control according to type of fuel.
Fuel Seasoned wood Lignite briquettes
Volume 1,85 kg 1,7 kg
Form of fuel 2 logs 3 whole cubes
Operation time 1 h 1,25 h
Primary air 25 mm max.
Secondary air max. max.
Max. intake 1,85 kg/h 1,4 kg/h
To keep glass free from lamp black deposits as long as possible, place logs with cut side away from
glass.
Color should not be touched during hardening and no objects should be put on the fireplace too, to
avoid color damaging. The hearth is made of fireclay panels which accumulate heat and radiate it back
to the hearth, increasing thus combustion temperature.
Add smaller quantity of fuel in the hearth during transition period, when temperatures are not very low.
Bad chimney draft may cause operating problems, leading to incomplete outtake of smoke and gas.
This necessitates starting fire in chimney, and if this step does not create necessary draft in the
chimney, fireplace operation is not allowed due to safety reasons.

3.2 Safety measures
Never use water to extinguish fire. Fireplace stove must be placed on surface with sufficient bearing
power. Otherwise, appropriate measures on load distribution should be taken.
Fireplace stove must not be placed on flammable grounds. Floor must be made of inflammable material
such us sheet metal plates or ceramic plates or similar. The ground surface must extend minimum 60
cm in front and 30 cm around fireplace.
Clearances between fireplace and surrounding walls must be minimum 30 cm.
Clearance to flammable objects must be 80 cm around fireplace (radiation zone).
Odors may occur in the radiation zone during initial operation, but will disappear few hours later, when
color hardens completely.
When starting operation, fireplace color is still soft. Do not wipe fireplace with clothes or place any
objects on it.
Discharge ashes in a metal or other inflammable container intended for this purpose solely. Seemingly
cold ashes may be warm even few hours later.
4. Installation of fireplace stove
For proper installation of fireplace, chimney draft should first be checked. Good chimney draft is a
condition for proper operation and use of fireplace. Chimney draft can be easily tested with a lighted
candle (see figure 1).
Insufficient chimney draft Good chimney draft Very good chimney draft
Figure 1
Chimney draft depends on the following:
- Condition of chimney
- Environmental conditions (season),
- Condition of fireplace and condition of other hearths connected to the same chimney
- Position of the house comparing to surroundings (on a hill, in a valley or in a gap)
If chimney draft is insufficient this will cause bad combustion and lamp black deposits on glass.
5. Fireplace maintenance
Whole fireplace stove should regularly be checked by a competent personnel. Hearth, chimney pipes
and chimney must be cleaned regularly, several times per year and at least once during heating
season.
When removing lamp black, restoring panel in fireplace should be removed (figure 2)
3.

Figure 2
We have no influence on the mentioned issues and can offer no guarantee for clean glass. To keep
glass as clean as possible, place logs with cut side away from glass. The higher combustion
temperature, the less non combusted particles in outlet smoke and gas.
Fireclay panels are easily replaceable. Fireclay panels may be damaged by mechanical influence and
shocks. If cracks occur, fireclay panels need not be replaced immediately. Replacement is needed only
when metal parts can be seen through these cracks.
Outside surfaces of the stove should be cleaned with dust brush or dry cloth. Do not use water or wet
cloths.
6. Installation of ceramic lining on the fireplace
Figure 3 shows sequence of steps in installation of ceramic tiles on the stove made of thick sheets.
NOTE: Ceramic panels are numbered from 1 to 6 on the internal side. Installation should be done in
that order, as shown in figure 3.
4.
Operation of the fireplace stove depends on proper positioning of
restoring panel. When cleaning is finished, the panel should be
returned to its original position. Junctions and closing devices
should be controled.
Grate should be cleaned regularly in order to guarantee its
functionality. Lamp black deposits on hearth glass should be
prevented.
Lamp black creates during operation due to the following
reasons:
- Insufficient chimney draft (bad chimney)
- Imroper operation of furnace, eg. oxigen intake is
terminated too early.
