•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
substrate will resist the force of the equipment consid-
ering its weight.
•In the case of disturbances in operation, the equip-
ment can be restarted only when the occurred problem
has been removed and the equipment is brought back
to its original condition.
•The user is fully responsible for misuse of the product
and relieves DEFRO from any civil and criminal liabil-
ity.

•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 the floor is made of
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 which can also
disturb air intake.
•Always make sure and check whether the doors of the
combustion chamber are tightly closed when the
equipment is operating.
•Equipment consumes the exact amount of air that is
required for the combustion process; it is recom-
mended to connect the equipment for air intake from
outside using a suitable pipe and through a special
outlet located at the back of the equipment.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
•You should contact the sales outlet or qualified per-
sonnel authorized by DEFRO in the case of any prob-
lems. Request original spare parts if the repair is nec-
essary.
•Use only fuel with properties compatible with the rec-
ommendations of this operating manual.
•Check and clean flue gas discharge ducts (connecting
piece to flue) periodically.
•Store this manual carefully because it should be avail-
able for a whole period of equipment operation. In the
case of sale or giving the equipment to the other user
you should always make sure whether the product has
the manual enclosed.
•Request a new copy from the authorized sales outlet
in the DEFRO company if it has been lost.
3. INTENDED USE
Dry stoves are intended for the combustion of wood from decidu-
ous trees. They are intended for heating houses and spaces where
they are installed. They can be also used as an additional source of
thermal power. The dry stove can be connected multiple times.
The IGNIS series stoves are available in several versions that are
equipped with various housings of the same combustion chamber.
4. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
4.1. DESIGN
A dry stove operates as a heater for the room in which it is installed.
Hot air is emitted directly from the furnace through the window panel
and by radiation through convection holes in the upper wall of the de-
vice.
The body of the dry stove - walls in contact with fire - is made of
steel sheet and the furnace chamber is lined with ceramic cladding.
The body is lined with panels made of steel sheets covered with powder
paint.
Air for the combustion process is supplied through the air inlet (in-
take) located at the rear or bottom of the equipment.

4.4. FUEL PARAMETERS
A dry stove is intended for the combustion of wood from deciduous
trees (oak, hornbeam, ash, beech) with moisture content below 20%
(wood seasoned in proper conditions for at least 2 years). The maxi-
mum 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 decrease of energy efficiency of the
stove).
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 waste. Firing
with inadmissible materials in the fireplace may result in damage to the
fireplace and life and health hazard to the users (toxic flue gas from
chemicals).
Use of bad quality fuel or incompatible with the above-
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 prod-
uct.
A dry stove is not intended for the combustion of
wastes and forbidden fuels cannot be combusted in it.
Wood should be seasoned minimum of two (2) years.
Firing with wet wood, with low calorific value, de-
creases the efficiency and has an adverse influence on
the dry stove's lifetime.
It is not recommended to use softwood and resinous
woods as fuel. It causes intensive smoke concentration
and the necessity to clean the equipment and flue more
often.
It is forbidden to combust coal, wood from tropical
trees, chemical products, liquid fuels etc., e.g. oil, alco-
hol, petrol, naphthaline, laminated, impregnated
boards etc., paper, cardboard, old clothes, wastes.
It is forbidden to exceed the recommended amount of
charged fuel, because it may cause overheating of the
equipment.
DEFRO R. Dziubeła sp.k. does not accept liability for
damages caused or improper burning of fuel if the fuel
used is prohibited.

5. TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION
5.1. TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
The dry stove is delivered on a pallet, foil-wrapped and fully as-
sembled. It is recommended to transport the dry stove, in such packing
condition, as close as the possible target location for installation, which
will minimize the possibility of damage to the device housing.
All remaining parts of the packing should be removed in such a
way that it will not pose any hazard to people and animals.
Appropriate lifts are to be used for lifting and lowering the dry stove.
For transport, the dry stove is to be secured against moving and tilting
on a vehicle's platform by means of belts, wedges and wooden blocks.
The dry stove is to be transported in a vertical posi-
tion!
The dry stove is to be stored in a non-heated room, under a roof
and with efficient ventilation.
Prior to installation, it should be determined if all parts have been
delivered and if they are in good technical condition.
5.2. WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The dry stove should be installed in compliance with
the requirements of the currently applicable standards
and legal regulations and detailed regulations of the tar-
get country. In Poland, these conditions are regulated
by the Regulation of the Minister of Infrastructure of 12
April 2002 on technical conditions which should be ful-
filled by buildings and their location. (Journal of Laws
no. 75 of 2002 item 690 as amended) and Polish Stand-
ard PN-EN 13240:2008 Roomheaters fired by solid fuel.
Requirements and tests.
The dry stove should be installed in a suitable location allowing the
opening of the doors and carrying out regular maintenance works. The
environment should be:
•adapted to operating conditions,
•equipped with a power supply of 230V/50Hz,
•equipped with a suitable flue gas exhaust system,
•equipped with an external ventilation system,
•equipped with an earthing system with a CE certificate.
The correct setting of the stove is necessary to obtain a satisfac-
tory heating level for the residential unit. Prior to assembly, it is neces-
sary to select a suitable position for stove installation. Check minimum
safe distances from materials susceptible to heat or inflammable ma-
terials such as load-bearing walls and other walls or wooden compo-
nents, furniture etc.
Installation of the dry stove should observe the following safety
rules:
•a minimum distance of 200 mm from the side and rear of the
medium inflammable materials,
•a minimum distance of 800 mm from the front wall, where the
medium inflammable materials cannot be located.
•objects made of highly inflammable materials should be lo-
cated at a distance minimum of 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 the case of contact with a wooden wall or wall made of other inflam-
mable material, it is appropriate to insulate the flue gas discharge pipe.

16 | Page
In the case of a floor made of inflammable materials, it
is appropriate to prepare a plane protecting the floor
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 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 the floor slab,
where the stove is to be installed, you should absolutely contact with
the building designer to reinforce the floor slab or execute a special
structure distributing the weight on a larger area.
The flooring in the room, where the stove is to be in-
stalled, should be properly dimensioned, to maintain
the load.
To ensure the correct operation of the dry stove you should ensure
the suitable inflow of air required for combustion (it is appropriate to
ensure approx. 40 m3/h) in accordance with the installation standards
and standards applicable in the given country. The volume of the sur-
rounding environment should not be less than 30 m3. You should as-
sume that the combustion of 1 kg of wood requires ~8 m3of air.
Air should be supplied through fixed openings of a minimum 100
cm2cross-section made in the walls (near the equipment) and directed
to the outside. These openings should be made in a way ensuring that
they cannot be plugged.
Protection in the flooring
Picture 17. Minimum safe distances during the setting of the dry
stove.
Air can be supplied from adjacent rooms, provided that they are
equipped with an external air supply and they are not intended for a
bedroom and bathroom, and where fire hazard is not present, for ex-
ample: garages, woodsheds, inflammable materials storage. You
should absolutely observe recommendations of the applicable stand-
ards.
It is forbidden to install dry stoves in bedrooms, bath-
rooms and other rooms where other heating equip-
ments without independent air inflow are installed (fire-
place, stove, etc.).
It is also forbidden to set a dry stove in explosive at-
mospheres.
5.3. CONNECTION TO EXTERNAL AIR INTAKE
The room, where the dry stove is installed, should be equipped
with the inflow of air in the minimum amount required for the correct
combustion process and for room ventilation. This can be done by ex-
ecuting fixed vents in the wall directed to the outside or through inde-
pendent or common ventilation ducts.
The external wall near the equipment should have a through open-
ing with a free cross-section of 100 cm2(opening with 12 cm in diameter
or square 10 x 10 cm), protected with grille on the internal and external
sides, for this purpose. Furthermore, the air intake should be:
•directly connected to the room, where the dry stove is to 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).
The DEFRO HOME IGNIS series heating stoves offer two versions
of connection of the external air inlet: from the back or bottom of the
stove. LOG (SOLUM LOG, ORBIS LOG, DEA 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 THE FLUE
The dry stove should be connected to an individual flue. Size of
the chimney draught should equal:
•minimum draught −6 ± 1 Pa,
•medium, recommended draught −12 ± 2 Pa,
•maximum draught −15 ± 2 Pa.
During the execution of the opening for the flue gas discharge pipe,
you should consider the possible occurrence of inflammable materials.
If the opening will pass through the wooden wall or wall made of mate-
rial sensitive to heat then you should obligatorily maintain the 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).
Picture 19. Option to connect the DEFRO HOME IGNIS stove to the
flue.
As an alternative it is recommended to use insulated industrial
pipe, which can be also used outdoors, to avoid the occurrence of con-
densate.
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 of 3% to-
wards the top,
•length of the horizontal section should be minimum and
should not exceed 2/3 metre,
•a number of changes of directions, inclusive of the use of
the “T” component, should not exceed 4.
Chimney or individual smoke duct should meet the following re-
quirements:
•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 the 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 a 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 chimney
draught is too low.
The stove offers two locations of flue gas outlet socket: on the top
or rear wall of the stove. The stove is delivered from a factory with a
socket installed on the top wall. The change of its location is described
in chapter 7.3.4.
6. USAGE AND OPERATION
6.1. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
Do not touch the stove during the first firing-up, be-
cause the paint is hardening during this stage.
Touching the paint could result in uncovering of the
steel surface.
It is possible to refresh it using spray paint of the same color if
necessary.
It is a good practice to ensure efficient ventilation dur-
ing the first firing-up because small amounts of smoke
and 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 you that they are not harmful to health.
The stove is subject to expansion and shrinkage during the warm-
ing and cooling down stage which may cause slight squeaks. This is
an absolutely normal phenomenon because the structure of the equip-
ment is made of rolled steel and this phenomenon shall not be consid-
ered 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 the whole available thermal power. This will avoid damage to
ceramic tiles, welds and steel structures.
Do not expect the immediate effects of heating!
6.2. FIRST START-UP AND OPERATION
Only the AUTHORIZED SERVICE of the MANUFAC-
TURER may check the correctness and integrity of the
equipment connection, preparation for operation ac-
cording with this manual and applicable regulation and
first start-up and train the user within the scope of
equipment operation and servicing.
Firing from the top is a recommended method of the firing of the
dry stoves. Before firing up you should set a slider of air inflow adjust-
ment to the maximum opening by pressing its rear half. Then open the
doors of the stove and place fuel on the grate as follows: place split
thick chunks at the bottom, then another layer of thinner chunks. Place
small slivers at the top, where you may additionally place eco-friendly
kindling.
It is important to ensure free space (approx. 1 cm) between each
of the chunks.
The recommended single fuel charge is given in table 1.

It is forbidden to use other materials than described in
this manual for firing up, in particular flammable chem-
icals such as: oil, petrol, solvents and others.
You should use only hardwood (recommended beech, oak, horn-
beam, birch), preferably debarked, of low moisture content (below
20%).
During combustion, the doors should be opened only when the fuel
is being added. Recharging should be made only when only an ignition
layer, in the form of a glow, remains in the furnace. Before adding the
wood, it is required to spread the remaining layer of glow and refill the
combustion chamber with wood - in accordance with picture 24. The
intensity of the combustion process should be set with the “air inflow
adjustment slider”. The correct flame should have a light-yellow colour
and a length of approx. 20-40 cm, depending on the power of the boiler,
