legal standards applicable in the given location, region
or country.
The equipment should not be used by a person (in-
cluding children) of impaired physical, sensory, mental
capabilities and by persons without experience and re-
quired knowledge provided that such operation is no
t
carried out under their supervision or after proper in-
struction by a person responsible for their safety.
You should always observe the guidelines given in the
operating manual to ensure the correct use of the
equipment and to prevent accidents.
Operation and adjustment should be carried out b
y
adults. Errors and incorrect setting can cause hazard-
ous situations and/or incorrect operation.
Prior to any operations the user (or any person oper-
ating the equipment) should read and understand
whole contents of this manual.
Equipment should be used only as intended. Each
other use is considered as misuse and hazardous as
a consequence.
The equipment should not be used as a ladder or ob-
ject to lean against.
Prior to installation you should make sure that the sub-
strate will resist the force of the equipment considering
its weight.
In case of disturbances in operation the equipment can
be restarted only when the occurred problem has been
removed and the equipment is brought back to original
condition.
The user is fully responsible for misuse of the produc
t
and relieves DEFRO from any civil and criminal liabil-
ity.

A
ll types of modifications or replacement of equipmen
t
parts with non-original components or without authori-
zation may present a risk for the operator and relieve
DEFRO from any civil and criminal liability.
Incorrect installation or maintenance (incompatible
with contents of this manual), can cause injuries o
f
people, animals or property damage. Then DEFRO
shall be relieved of any civil or criminal liability.

Part of equipment surface is very hot (doors, handle,
window panel, flue gas discharge pipe, etc.). You
should avoid direct contact with such components
without suitable protective clothing or protective equip-
ment such as e.g. heat resistant gloves.
Do not touch the window panel after heating up of the
equipment.
Keep children away from the equipment when it is op-
erating because each hot surface can cause burns.
It is forbidden to start-up the equipment when the
doors are opened or the window panel is cracked.
Do not place and dry the underwear on the equipment.
Possible dryers for hanging underwear or simila
r
should be located at an adequate distance from the
equipment - fire hazard.
It is absolutely forbidden to open the doors if the flue
is on fire. Then call the appropriate services.
It is recommended to keep a distance min. 400 mm
between hot parts of the equipment and medium in-
flammable materials; otherwise use commerciall
y
available insulation materials. Apply this hint also fo
r
furniture, curtains etc. Minimum distances are given in
point 5.2 of the operating manual.

6
It is absolutely forbidden to use flammable liquid fo
r
equipment firing up.
If the substrate, on which the equipment is located, is
made of inflammable materials, such as parquet o

Fuel used in the equipment should meet the conditions
described in this manual.
Internal parts of the equipment should not be washed
with water.
Do not allow contact with water and, above all, do no
t
wash any varnished coatings before curing. The coat-
ing of new devices is not an anti-corrosive coating,
heat-resistant paint only gains its protective properties
after curing under the influence of heat (after several
ignitions).
Do not expose the body to the action of hot air for a
long period of time. Do not heat excessively the room
where you are staying and where the equipment is in-
stalled. It may have an adverse impact on physical
condition and be a reason for health problems.

Equipment and cladding made of ceramics should be
stored in rooms free from moisture and they cannot be
exposed to adverse effects of the weather.
It is not recommended to place the body of the equip-
ment directly on the floor and if such floor is made o
f
inflammable materials it should be properly insulated.
To facilitate possible interventions by the technical
personnel you should not place the equipment inside
the closed rooms and just by the walls what can als
o
disturb air intake.
Always make sure and check whether doors of the
combustion chamber are tightly closed when the
equipment is operating.
Equipment consumes exact amount of air which is re-
quired for combustion process; it is recommended t
o
connect the equipment for air intake from outside us-
ing suitable pipe and through a special outlet located
at the back of the equipment.
ADDITIONA INFORMATION
In case of any problems you should contact sales out-
let or qualified personnel authorized by DEFRO. Re-
quest original spare parts if the repair is necessary.

able for a whole period of equipment operation. In
case of sale of giving the equipment to the other use
r
you should always make sure whether the product has
the manual enclosed.
Request a new copy from authorized sales outlet in
DEFRO company if it has been lost.
3. INTENDED USE

Hot air is emitted directly from the furnace through the window panel
and on by radiation through convection holes in the upper wall of the
device.
The body of the dry stove - walls in contact with fire - is made of
galvanized steel sheet and furnace chamber is lined with ceramic clad-
ding. Body is lined with panels made of steel sheet covered with pow-
der paint.
Air for combustion process is supplied through the air inlet (intake)
located at the rear or bottom of equipment.

The dry stove is delivered on a pallet, foil-wrapped and is fully as-
sembled. The scope of delivery can include additional components and
subassemblies, according to the order of the user. Components which
are standard equipment are specified in table 2.
4.4. FUEL PARAMETRS
The dry stove is intended for combustion of wood from deciduous
trees (oak, hornbeam, ash, beech) with a moisture content below 20%
(wood seasoned in proper conditions for at least 2 years). The
maximum length of chunks of wood is 300 mm.
It is not allowed to use wet wood (extensive contamination of fire-
place and soot emission and a decrease of furnace energy efficiency).
It is forbidden to use all other fuels, min. coal, softwood from conif-
erous trees, wood from tropical trees and any liquid fuels.
It is forbidden to combust all types of litter and wood wastes. Firing
with inadmissible materials in the fireplace may result in damage to the
fireplace and life and health hazard for the users (toxic flue gas from
chemicals).
Use of bad quality fuel or incompatible with the abov
e
-
mentioned recommendations would cause irregulari-
ties in the operation of the equipment and can lead to
loss of warranty and decline of the liability for the
product.
The dry stove is not a furnace intended for combustio
n
of wastes and forbidden fuels cannot be combuste
d
in it.
Wood should be seasoned minimum two years. Firin
g
with wet wood, with low calorific value, decreases th
e
efficiency and has an adverse influence on dry stov
e
lifetime.
It is not recommended to use softwood and resinou
s
woods as a fuel. It causes intensive smoke concentra-
tion and the necessity to clean the equipment and flu
e
more often.
It is forbidden to combust coal, wood from tropica
l
trees, chemical products, liquid fuels etc., e.g. oil, alco
-
hol, petrol, naphthaline, laminated, impregnated board
s
etc., paper, cardboards, old clothes, wastes.
DEFRO Sp. z o.o. Sp. k. does not accept liability fo
r
damage caused or improper burning of fuel if the fue
l
used is prohibited.

on a vehicle's platform by means of belts, wedges and wooden blocks.
The dry stove is to be transported in a v
e
rtical position
!
The dry stove is to be stored in a non-heated room, under a roof
and with efficient ventilation.
Prior to installation it is to be determined if all parts have been de-
livered and if they are in good technical condition.

13
5.2. WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The dr
y
stove should be installed in compliance wit
h
the requirements of the currently applicable standard
s
and legal regulations and detailed regulations of th
e
target country. In Poland these conditions are regulate
d
by the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 1
2
A
pril 2002 on technical conditions which should be ful
-
filled by buildings and its location. (Journal of Laws no.
75 of 2002 item 690 as amended) and Polish Standar
d
PN-13240:2008 Room heaters fired by solid fuel. Re-
quirements and tests.
The dry stove should be installed in a suitable location allowing
opening of the doors and carrying out regular maintenance works. The
environment should be:
adapted to operating conditions,
equipped with power supply 230V/50Hz,
equipped with a suitable flue gas exhaust system,
equipped with an external ventilation system,
equipped with an earthing system with CE certificate.
Correct setting of the stove is necessary to obtain the satisfactory
heating level of the residential unit. Prior to assembly it is necessary to
select a suitable position for stove installation. Check minimum safe
distances from materials susceptible to heat or inflammable materials
such as load-bearing walls and other walls or wooden components, fur-
niture etc.
Picture 13.Minimum safe distances during setting of dry stove.
Installation of the dry stove should observe the following safety
rules:
minimum distance 400 mm from side and rear of the medium
inflammable materials,
minimum distance 800 mm from the front wall, where the me-
dium inflammable materials cannot be located.
objects made of highly inflammable materials should be lo-
cated in distance minimum 2000 mm from the furnace
If it is not possible to maintain the above indicated distances then
you should apply process and building measures to avoid fire hazards.
In case of contact with wooden wall or wall made of other inflammable
material it is appropriate to insulate flue gas discharge pipe.
In
the cas
e
of the floor made of inflammable material
s
i
t
is appropriate to prepare a plane protecting the floo
r
and execute protection in accordance with the stand
-
ards applicable in the given country.
The dry stove should be located on a substrate with suitable load-
bearing capacity. In accordance with the Polish Standards each square
meter of the floor slab in the single-family building should transfer a
load of 150 kg. If this condition is fulfilled the dry stove manufactured
by DEFRO can be installed without needing to reinforce the floor slab.
Nonetheless, if you are not sure about the design of floor slab,
where the stove is to be installed, you should absolutely contact with
building designer to reinforce the floor slab or execute special structure
distributing the weight on a larger area.
Flooring
i
n the room, where the stove is to be installed,
should be properly dimensioned, to maintain the load.
To ensure correct operation of dry stove you should ensure suita-
ble inflow of air required for combustion (it is appropriate to ensure ap-
prox. 40 m3/h) in accordance with the installation standards and stand-
ards applicable in the given country. The volume of the surrounding
environment should not be less than 30 m3. You should assume that
combustion of 1 kg of wood requires ~8 m3of air.
Air should be supplied through fixed openings of minimum 100 cm2
cross section made in the walls (near the stove) and directed to outside.
This opening should be made in a way ensuring that they cannot be
plugged.
Air can be supplied from adjacent rooms, provided that they are
equipped with external air supply and they are not intended for a bed-
room and bathroom, and where fire hazard is not present, for example:
garages, woodsheds, inflammable materials storage. You should ab-
solutely observe recommendations of the applicable standards.
It is forbidden to install
a dr
y
stove in bedrooms, bath
-
rooms and other rooms where other heating equipmen
t
without independent air inflow are installed (fireplace,
stove, etc.).
It is also forbidden to set dry stove in explosive atmos
-
pheres.
5.3. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE
Room, where the dry stove is installed, should be equipped with
an inflow of air in the minimum amount required for correct combustion
process and for room ventilation. This can be done by executing fixed
vents in the wall directed to the outside or through independent or com-
mon ventilation ducts.
Picture 14.Connection of the dry stove DEFRO HOME IGNIS to
external air intake.
The external wall near the stove should have through the opening
with free cross-section 100 cm2(opening with 12 cm in diameter or
square 10 x 10 cm), protected with grille on the internal and external
side, for this purpose. Furthermore, the air intake should be:
200 mm

be installed,
protected with grille, metal net or suitable cover not restrict-
ing minimum cross-section,
located in a way preventing plugging it,
located with consideration of proper distances preventing
swirling of air (e.g. with respect to the windows).
DEFRO HOME IGNIS series dry stoves offer two versions of con-
nection of external air inlet: from back or bottom of the stove. LOG (DH
SOLUM LOG, DH ORBIS LOG) versions, equipped with a recess for
wood, have only one inlet located below the furnace and they are not
intended for air intake from the outside.
5.4. INSTALLATION TO FLUE
The dry stove should be connected to the individual flue. Size of
chimney draught should equal:
minimum draught −6 ± 1 Pa,
average, recommended draught −12 ± 2 Pa,
maximum draught −15 ± 2 Pa.
During execution of opening for flue gas discharge pipe you should
consider the possible occurrence of inflammable materials. If the open-
ing will pass through the wooden wall or wall made of material sensitive
to heat then you should obligatory maintain minimum distance from
flammable material (value given on the certification label of the pipe),
with possible additional insulation using proper materials (thickness 1.3
- 5 cm, heat conductivity min. 0.07 W/m °K).
As an alternative is it is recommended to use an insulated indus-
trial pipe, which can be also used outdoors, to avoid the occurrence of
condensate.
For correct operation connector between the dry stove and flue or
smoke duct should be executed acc. to the below recommendations:
horizontal sections should have a minimum slope 3% to-
wards the top,
length of the horizontal section should be minimum and
should not exceed 2/3 meter,
a number of changes of directions, inclusive of use of the “T”
component, should not exceed 4.
Chimney or individual smoke duct should meet the following require-
ments:
be resistant to combustion products, water-proof and suitably
insulated, in compliance with conditions of use,
be made of materials resistant to normal mechanical
stresses, heat, the action of combustion products and possi-
ble condensate,
be vertical with a change of axis direction not exceeding 45°,
be adequately separated with void space or suitable insula-
tion from combusted and inflammable materials,
have preferably circular internal cross-section: square or rec-
tangular cross-section should have rounded corners with a
radius not smaller than 20 mm,
internal cross-section should be constant, free and independ-
ent,
have a rectangular cross-section with the maximum ratio be-
tween two sides equal to 1.5.
It is forbidden to use mechanical exhaust ventilation.
The dry stove should not be used if the chimne
y
draught is too low.
The stove offers two locations of flue gas outlet socket: on top or
rear wall of the stove. The stove is delivered from a factory with a socket
installed in the top wall. Change of its location is described in chapter
7.3.4
Picture 15. Option to connect dry stove DEFRO HOME IGNIS to flue
6. USAGE AND OPERATION
6.1. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
Do not touch stove during first firing
-
up, because th
e
paint is hardening during this stage.
Touching the paint could result in uncovering of stee
l
surface.
It is possible to refresh it using spray paint of the same colour if
necessary.
It is good practice to ensure efficient ventilation durin
g
first firing-up because a small amount of smoke an
d
paint odour will be emitted from the stove.
Do not stay near the stove. It is required to vent the room. Smoke
and paint odour will disappear after approx. one hour of operation.
However, we remind that they are not harmful to health.
The furnace is subject to expansion and shrinkage during warming
and cooling down stage what may cause slight squeaks. This is an
absolutely normal phenomenon because a structure of the equipment
is made rolled steel and this phenomenon shall not be considered as a
defect.
It is very important to avoid excessive overheating of the stove at
the beginning but to reach the required temperature gradually. Use low
heating powers. During the next firing-up of the stove it will be possible
to use whole available thermal power. This will avoid damage of ce-
ramic tiles, welds and steel structure.

6.2. FIRST START-UP AND OPERATION
Set button of a damper for maximum opening by pressing its rear
cover (picture 17). Charge approx. 1 kg of dry hardwood and fire it up.
The odour of paint from the body will be released during the first several
hours of combustion. This is completely normal. You should strongly
vent the room at that time. Check tightness of joints once again when
fuel is completely burned out and equipment has been cooled down.
Empty the ash drawer prior to each successive start-up of the
equipment. Remove grate, then ash drawer using handles, and remove
the remaining dust. Window panel should also be cleaned. Do not use
sharp materials. It will damage the surface of the window panel and
screen printing.
Picture 16. Setting air inflow adjustment button in maximum closure
position
Picture 17.Setting air inflow adjustment button in maximum opening
position.
Do not fill the furnace completely with wood. The charge should
not exceed 1/3 of the volume of the combustion chamber. To obtain
optimum operating parameters of the equipment you should make a
single charge in an amount approximately equal to the single charge
given in table 1. Method of fuel laying is shown on figure 18.
Picture 18. Method of fuel arrangement during firing up.
You should use only hardwood (recommended beech, oak, horn-
beam) of low moisture content (below 20%). During combustion the
doors should be opened only when the fuel is being added. Prior to
adding the wood you should wait until flames fall down and charge is
completely burnt out leaving a layer of glow facilitating firing up. After
firing up refill combustion chamber with wood, placing fuel in a way that
reasonably fills the combustion chamber for the combustion period ex-
pected by the user based on personal experience. Combustion inten-
sity should be adjusted with the air controller located on side of the
equipment.
Housing components will be very hot during operation.
You must exercise caution.
6.3. DAMPING
Damping is executed by the closing inflow of primary air. In such
case you should wait until the fuel completely burns out in a natural
way.
If it is necessary to quickly damp a flame you should charge fur-
nace chamber with dry sand or ash. It is not allowed to damp a flame
by pouring it with water because it may damage components of the
equipment.
A
fter a longer break in equipment’s operation yo
u
should check flow capacity of the flue.
7. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
A
ll operations related to cleaning of all component
s
should be carried out when the stove is completel
y
cold. It is required to use protective gloves.
It is a good practice to ensure good ventilation of th
e
room during cleaning of the fireplace.
7.1. BASIC OPERATIONS AND CLEANING BY THE USER.

Do not open doors to clean the window panel durin
g
operation of the fireplace. Cleaning of window panel i
s
possible only when the equipment is cold.
7.1.3. DOORS/GASKETS
Abrasive surfaces of doors and closing mechanism should be oc-
casionally lubricated with graphite grease. Carry out inspection and
cleaning of the whole stove prior to each heating season. Pay special
attention to the condition of gaskets, replace them if necessary.
7.1.4. FURNACE CHAMBER
Clean furnace chamber of the stove periodically, depending on
moisture content and type of wood used.
7.1.5. FLUE
In compliance with applicable regulations you should clean the flue
two times a year. The flue should be cleaned by a chimneysweep com-
pany and this fact should be documented in this manual.
Flue gases coming out of blocked chimney are danger
-
ous. Chimney and connector should be kept clean.
They should be cleaned before each heating season.
A
fter a
l
onger break in equipment’s operation yo
u
should check flow capacity of the flue.
7.2. PERIODIC INSPECTION BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE
After the heating season it is necessary to clean the chamber
through which flue gas is flowing. This cleaning is obligatory and is in-
tended to remove all combustion residues.

8. TROUBLESHOOTING
Some anomalies indicating irregularities in operation can occur
during operation of the equipment. It can be caused by incorrect instal-
lation of the equipment without observation of the applicable building
regulations or provisions of this manual or by external causes e.g. nat-
ural environment.
Below you will find the most frequent causes of incorrect of the
equipment with their solutions.
Smoke draw back when the doors are opened:
the too rapid opening of the doors (open the doors slowly);
if chimney damper has been installed as a chimney draught
regulator - open the chimney damper each time when the
doors are opened;
insufficient air inflow to the room, where the equipment is in-
stalled (ensure proper ventilation in the room or supply air to
the combustion chamber in compliance with guidelines in the
manual);
atmospheric conditions: low pressure, mists and precipita-
tion, sharp changes in temperature;
insufficient chimney draught (carry out chimneysweep in-
spection of the flue).
Insufficient heating or damping:
too low amount of fuel in the furnace (charge furnace in com-
pliance with the manual);
the too high moisture content of wood used for combustion
(use wood with moisture content <20%) a large part of ob-
tained energy lost in water evaporation process:
too low chimney draught (carry out chimneysweep inspection
of the flue).
Insufficient heating despite good combustion in combustion
chamber:
low calorific “soft” wood (use wood as recommended in the
manual);
the too high moisture content of wood used for combustion
(use wood with moisture content <20%);
too fragmented wood, too thick chunks of wood:
Excessive contamination of window panel:
low intensity of combustion (combustion with very small
flame, use only dry wood as a fuel);
using resinous softwood as a fuel (use dry hardwood as a
fuel foreseen in the stove operating manual).
Correct operation can be disturbed by an atmospheric
condition (air moisture content, fog, wind, atmospheric pressure)
and sometimes by closely located high facilities.
In case of repeated problems you should turn to chim-
neysweep company to confirm the reason of such condition and
to indicate the best solution for the problem.
9. MEASURES IN CASE OF FIRE IN THE FLUE /SOOT IGNI-
TION/.
Systematic cleaning of smoke ducts should be per
-
formed to prevent soot ignition in the chimney.
Soot ignition in the chimney is burning of particles deposited inside
chimney (flue) channels; the deposits are formed in the course of heat-
ing equipment's operation and were not cleaned by chimney sweeps.
In the case of soot fire in the chimney the following recommendations
should be observed:
call Fire Brigade at 998 or 112, give information about what
is happening and give detailed directions what is happening
and hot to get to the given building;
damp a fire in the chimney by the closing inflow of cold air to
the furnace chamber;
close stove's door and cleaning holes tightly to cut off air sup-
ply (due to lack of air the fire will eventually stop);
check the whole chimney channel for any cracks which might
result in fire spread to the rooms;
prepare fire quenching means, e.g. a fire extinguisher, a fire
blanket, a hose connected to the water system, water in a
container;
make rooms and necessary information available to the Fire
Brigade.
It is strictly forbidden to pour water into the chimney
-
the risk of a blowout.
Leaking chimney channels can be a source of burnin
g
s
p
arks or very hot flue gas, including insensible carbo
n
monoxide.
Chimneysweep should be called after soot fire in th
e
chimney to perform cleaning of ducts and to inspec
t
their technical condition.
10. REMOVAL DUE TO WEAR-OUT
The dry stove is made of materials neutral for the environment.
After worn out of the stove parts connected with screws should be dis-
assembled by unscrewing and welded parts must by the cut. Elements
of a stove are subject to standard waste disposal, mostly as steel scrap.
Take safety precautions during disassembly of the equipment by using
appropriate hand-held and mechanical devices as well as personal pro-
tective equipment (gloves, clothes, apron, glasses, etc.).
