4 Safety
4.1 Safety instructions for operation
Warning:
• Do not put objects on the top of the appliance.
• Do not let the appliance unattended when the fuel burns.
•Do not put flammable items within 180 cm from the front of the appliance.
• Do not put flammable items within 30 cm from the side of the appliance.
• If applicable, make sure the distance between the top of the wood log
storage module and the wood logs in in de storage module is minimum 10
cm. Make sure the wood logs in the storage do not touch the top of the
wood log storage module.
• Do not use mineral fuel (example: coal, anthracite)
• Do not use the appliance with the door open. Smoke can escape from the
appliance. Only open the appliance door for a short time to reload with fuel
or to remove the ash.
• Make sure that children are supervised when they can reach the
appliance.
• Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation in the room in which the
appliance is installed.
• Do not use the appliance in case of visual glass damage.
• Make sure that the appliance is installed correctly. Refer to the Installation
and Maintenance manual. You can find the manuals on www.barbas.com.
• Wear the glove and use the operating hook or a poke when refilling the
appliance
• Make sure that your clothing does not touch the appliance. Especially
synthetic clothing ignites easy and burns intensely.
• Do not use the appliance when there is fog, haze or no wind.
• Do not make modifications to the appliance. Any modification will also
make your warranty invalid.
Caution:
• Make sure to clean your chimney minimum every year to prevent a
chimney fire.
• Do not use freshly cut wood.
•Do not use more wood per load than prescribed. Refer to chapter
5.2 for
the recommended fuel amount.
• Do not burn waste in the appliance.
• Do not prepare food in the appliance. This causes damage to your
appliance and chimney.
Note:
• Do inspect and clean the appliance, the chimney and the external
combustion air supply by a Barbas dealer minimum every year.
• Do not use the appliance continuously. The intended use is as intermittent
appliance.

Box 20 45 13

4.2 Safety instructions with regard to the environment
• Dispose of the packing materials in an environmentally friendly way.
•Dispose of ceramic heat-resistant glass as household waste. Do not dispose of
ceramic heat-resistant glass in a glass recycling container.
• Dispose of an obsolete appliance according to instructions of the authorities or the
fitter.
• Obey the local regulations.
Safety

5 Fuel
5.1 Fuel types
Warning:
Do not use coal, anthracite, coal briquettes, liquid fuel or gel fuel. The
appliance is not designed for these fuels. Use of these fuels is dangerous and
can lead to bodily harm and to serious damage to the appliance.
Suitable fuels are:
• Hard wood (example: birch, beech, oak, ash).
• Soft wood (example: spruce, pine, poplar).
•Wood briquettes without binder.
Before use, wood must dry for minimum 2 years when freshly chopped. Kiln-dried wood
must dry for an extra half year. Dried wood logs must have a moisture content of 10 - 20
%.
Unsuitable fuels are:
• Painted wood.
• Impregnated wood.
• MDF, chipboard.
• Any kind of combustible waste.
• Paraffin impregnated compressed wood logs
• Freshly chopped wood
• Coal, anthracite and other bituminous fuels
• Lignite , peat
Using unsuitable fuels cause excess smoke, black glass, combustible deposits in the
chimney and can damage the appliance.
5.2 Fuel amount
Load the appliance with the amount of fuel as listed hereunder. Put the load as one layer
on the floor of the combustion chamber. For the amount of fuel for the first load see
chapter 6.3.1 .
Table 1: Recommended amount of fuel
Wood logs Wood briquettes
Amount 2 pieces 2 pieces
Weight Approximately 0.7 kg per piece Approximately 0.5 kg per piece
Length Approximately 15 cm Approximately 15 cm
The above listed amount burns for approximately 45 minutes. This time can be different,
dependent on the chimney draught and the position of the combustion air valve.
The amount of fuel specified here should not be exceeded, overloading can cause
excess smoke.

6 Operation
6.1 Preparation before first use
Report any defects to your dealer immediately.
1. Make sure that the appliance is not damaged.
2. Make sure that the ceramic plate and the baffles are in the correct position.
3. Make sure that the glass is not damaged.
4. Make sure that the door opens and closes completely, by moving the door handle
Steel frame door
a) Turn the handle forward to open the door.
b) Turn the handle downward to close the door.
Operation
16 Box 20 45

Screened glass door
a) Turn the handle forward to open the door.
b) Turn the handle backward to close the door.
5. Remove document and components from the combustion chamber.
6. Make sure that the control lever moves easy.
7. Make sure that the ash tray is empty.
8. Make sure that all package material, stickers, etc, have been removed from the
vicinity of the appliance after installation.
Operation
Box 20 45 17

6.2 First use of the appliance
Caution:
• Make sure there is sufficient ventilation in the room in which the appliance
is installed.
Note:
The appliance has a heat-resistant coating. When you use the appliance for
the first time, the coating can cause an unpleasant, but harmless smell.
After first few times of use of the appliance, a light deposit on the inside of the glass may
occur caused by curing of the paint. This can be removed with glass cleaner or ceramic
hob cleaner.
6.3 Firing the appliance
6.3.1 First load and ignition
At the beginning the appliance and chimney are cold. It is important that both the
appliance and chimney reach a temperature that guarantees a good functioning of the
appliance. A too low temperature results in incomplete combustion and a poor chimney
draught. To avoid this do the following:
Warning:
Do not use the appliance when there is fog or haze or no wind.
1. Put the control lever in the far right position.
2. If applicable, open the valve in the external combustion air supply line.
3. If applicable, open the chimney valve completely.
4. Open the door of the appliance.
Operation
18 Box 20 45

5. Put minimum 4 wood logs crosswise on the floor of the combustion chamber.
6. Put some kindling wood and 1 or 2 firestarter cubes on top of the wood logs.
7. Put some kindling wood above the firestarter cubes.
8. Light the firestarter cubes with a lighter or a match.
9. Close the door of the appliance.
After approximately 20 minutes the wood logs burn. Dependent on the quality of the
chimney the wood logs burn for approximately 1 to 1.5 hours. Do not open the door of the
appliance before the last flames have almost disappeared.
Operation
Box 20 45 19

6.3.2 Reload with fuel
Caution:
If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refueling must be done onto a
sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash to make sure that the new fuel
charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire
bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
Note:
The procedure hereunder is a general description. The best reloading
moment is dependent on the flue draught. A high flue draught requires
reloading when the flames have completely disappeared. If the flue draught is
low, reloading must be done when there are still flames.
1. Wait until the last flames have almost disappeared.
2. Set the control lever in the far right position.
3. Open the door.
4. Reload the appliance with 2 wood logs, put flat on the combustion chamber floor.
Use the recommended amount of fuel. Refer to chapter 5.2 .
5. Close the door.
6. After ignition of the fuel, move the control lever to the left to a position that gives a
quiet burning fire.
