Safety
Please note: All safety regulations must be
complied with strictly.
Please read carefully the instructions supplied
with the appliance for installation, use and
maintenance, before using the appliance.
The appliance must be installed in accordance
with the laws and requirements of your
country.
All local regulations and the regulations relating
to national and European standards must be
observed when installing the appliance.
The appliance should preferably be installed by
an authorized installer. Installers will be aware
of the applicable regulations and requirements.
The appliance is designed for heating
purposes. All surfaces, including the glass and
connecting tube, can get very hot (over 100°C)!
For operation, use a so-called "cold hand" or an
oven glove.
Safety distances from flammable materials
must be adhered to strictly.
Don't place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
other combustible materials on or near the
appliance.
Don't use flammable or explosive substances
near the appliance when it is in use.
Avoid a chimney fire by having the chimney
swept regularly. Never burn wood with the door
open.
In the case of a chimney fire: close all air inlets
of the appliance and alert the fire brigade.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.
Make sure there is adequate ventilation in the
room where the appliance is installed. If
ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete resulting in toxic gases being
produced and spread through the room. See
the chapter "Installation requirements" for more
information on ventilation.
Installation
requirements
General
The appliance must be connected tightly to a well-
functioning chimney.
For the connection measurements: see the
appendix "Technical data".
Ask the fire brigade and/or your insurance
company about any specific requirements and
regulations.
Chimney (flue)
The flue or chimney is needed for:
Removal of combustion gases via natural draught.
As the warm air in the flue or chimney is lighter
than the outside air, it rises.
Air intake, needed for the combustion of fuel in the
appliance.
A poorly-functioning flue or chimney can cause smoke
to escape into the room when the door is opened.
Damage caused by smoke emissions into the room is
not covered by the warranty.
Do not connect multiple appliances (such as a
boiler for central heating) to the same flue,
unless local or national regulations allow this.
In the event of two connections ensure that the
difference in height between the connections is
no less than 200 mm.
Ask your installer for advice regarding the flue. Refer
to the European norm EN13384 for a correct
calculations for the flue.
The flue must satisfy the following requirements:
The flue or chimney must be made of fire-resistant
material, preferably ceramics or stainless steel.
The flue or chimney must be airtight and well-
cleaned and guarantee sufficient draught.
4Subject to change because of technical improvements

A draught/vacuum of 15-20Pa during normal
operation is ideal.
Starting from the flue spigot, the flue must run as
vertically as possible. Changes in direction and
horizontal pieces disrupt the outward flow of
combustion gases and may cause soot deposits.
To prevent combustion gases from cooling down
too much, which reduces the draught, ensure that
the interior diameter is not too big.
The flue or chimney should ideally have the same
diameter as the connection collar.
For the nominal diameter: see the appendix
"Technical data". If the smoke channel is well
insulated, the diameter may be slightly bigger
(up to 2x the section of the connection collar).
The section (area ) of the smoke channel must be
constant. Wider segments and (in particular)
narrower segments disrupt the outward flow of
combustion gases.
When using a cover plate or exhaust hood : make
sure that the cover does not restrict the flue outlet
and that the cap does not impede the outward flow
of combustion gases.
The flue must end in a zone that is not affected by
surrounding buildings, trees or other obstacles.
The flue outside the house must be insulated.
The chimney must be at least 4metres high.
As a rule of thumb: 60cm above the ridge of the
roof.
If the ridge of the roof is more than 3metres away
from the flue: stick to the measurements in the
following figure. A = the highest point of the roof
within a distance of 3metres.
Ventilation of the area
For good combustion, the stove needs air (oxygen).
This air is supplied via adjustable air inlets from the
area in which the stove is installed.
The combustion will be incomplete in case of
insufficient ventilation, which results in toxic
gases being produced and spread through the
area.
As a rule of thumb, the air supply should be 5,
5cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:
The stove is in an area that is well-insulated.
There is mechanical ventilation, for example a
central extraction system or an extraction hood in
an open kitchen.
You can provide extra ventilation by having a
ventilation louvre fitted on the outside wall.
Make sure that other air consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heating appliances or a
bathroom fan) have their own supply of outside air, or
are switched off when you use the appliance.
You can also connect the appliance to an
outside air supply. A connection kit is supplied
for this purpose. This makes additional
ventilation unnecessary.
Floors and walls
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient bearing capacity. For the weight of the
appliance, see the appendix "Technical data".
Protect flammable flooring from heat radiation
by means of a fireproof protective plate. See
the appendix "Distance from combustible
material".
Remove combustible material such as
linoleum, carpets/rugs and similar materials
below the fireproof protective plate.
Keep sufficient distance between the
appliance and combustible materials such as
wooden walls and furniture.
The connecting tube also radiates heat. Ensure
that there is sufficient distance or a shield
between the connecting tube and combustible
Subject to change because of technical improvements 5

material.
The rule of thumb for a single-walled tube is a
distance of 3x the diameter. If a lining shell is
fitted around the tube, a distance of 1x the
diameter is permissible.
Carpets and rugs must be at least 80cm away
from the fire.
Use a fireproof floor plate to protect a
flammable floor from any ash which may fall in
front of the stove. The protective plate must
comply with national standards.
For the dimensions of the fireproof protective
plate: see the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".
For further requirements in connection with fire
safety: see the appendix "Distance from
combustible material".

Preparing the outside air
connection
If the appliance is installed in a room without sufficient
ventilation, you can install the connecting kit on the
appliance for the supply of outside air.
The air supply tube is 100mm in diameter. If using a
smooth tube, it may be no longer than 12metres long.
If accessories such as bends are used, the maximum
length (12metres)) must be reduced by 1metre for
each accessory used.
Outside air connection via the wall
1. Make an opening in the wall (see the appendix,
"Measurements", for the correct position of the
opening).
2. Close the air connection hermetically to the wall.
Installing and connecting
1. Position the stove in the correct place, and make
sure it is level.
2. Connect the appliance airtight to the flue
(chimney).
8Subject to change because of technical improvements

3. In the case of connection to outside air: connect
the outside air supply to the connector fitted to the
appliance.
4. Re-position all removed parts in the correct places
in the stove.
Never light a fire in the appliance without the
fireproof inner plates.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the stove for the first time, make an
intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open
windows and doors for a while in the area in which the
stove is located.
Fuel
The appliance is a multi fuel stove. This stove is
suitable for burning natural wood; sawn and split wood
that is sufficiently dry. The appliance is also suitable
for the burning of brown coal briquettes and anthracite
coal.
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the stove.
You are not allowed to use the following fuels, as they
pollute the environment and because they heavily soil
the appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney
fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree
wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of
wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood
contains more resins, burns faster and sparks
more.
Use seasoned wood that contains no more than
20% moisture. The wood should have been
seasoned for at least 2 years.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the stove door and in the chimney. The
water vapour will condense in the stove and can
leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a
chimney fire.
Brown coal briquettes
Brown coal briquettes have approximately the same
burning characteristics as wood.
Ensure there is a good charcoal bed before you
start burning brown coal briquettes.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is categorised on the basis of
characteristics, sometimes prescribed by law, such
as the percentage of volatile substances. The ash
content of anthracite coal is between 3% and 13%.
The lower the ash content, the higher the net heating
value and the less often you have to remove ash.
Preferably use category A anthracite coal with a
low ash content.
Use the recommended size 12/22 or 20/30.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
Lighting
You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
Subject to change because of technical improvements 9

the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two layers of kindling crosswise on top of
the logs.
3. Place a firelighter cube in the lower layer of
kindling and light the cube according to the
instructions on the packaging.
4. Close the door of the appliance and open the
primary air inlet and the secondary air inlet of the
appliance; see the following figure.
5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there
is glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel
and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking
with wood".
Open Closed
Burning wood
After you have followed the instructions for lighting :
1. Slowly open the stove door.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
