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 legislation and requirements applic-
able in 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 authorised installer. Installers will be aware
of the applicable regulations and requirements.
The appliance is designed for heating pur-
poses. All surfaces, including the glass and
connecting tube, can become very hot (over
100°C)! When operating, use a so-called "cold
hand" or an oven glove.
Ensure that there is adequate screening if
young children, disabled people, the elderly or
animals are present in the vicinity of the appli-
ance.
Safety distances from flammable materials
must be strictly adhered to.
Do not place any curtains, clothes, laundry or
other combustible materials on or near the appli-
ance.
When in use, do not use flammable or explos-
ive substances in the vicinity of the appliance.
Avoid chimney fires by having the chimney
swept regularly. Never burn wood with the door
open.
In the event of a chimney fire: close all the
appliance's air inlets and alert the fire service.
If the glass in the appliance is broken or
cracked, it must be replaced before you can
use the appliance again.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation in the
room in which the appliance is installed. If vent-
ilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete whereby in toxic gases can spread
through the room. See the chapter "Installation
requirements" for more information on vent-
ilation.
Installation
requirements
General
The appliance must be connected tightly to a well-
functioning flue.
For connection measurements: see "Technical
data" appendix.
Ask the fire service and/or your insurance com-
pany about any specific requirements and reg-
ulations.
Flue
The flue 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 cal-
culations 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.
12 Subject to change because of technical improvements

The flue or chimney must be airtight and well-
cleaned and guarantee sufficient draught.
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 com-
bustion 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 nominal diameter: see "Technical data"
appendix. If the smoke channel is well insu-
lated, 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) nar-
rower segments disrupt the outward flow of com-
bustion gases.
In fitting a cover plate/exhaust cap to the flue:
make sure that the cover does not restrict the flue
outlet and that the cap does not impede the out-
ward 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 flue should 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 from
the flue: use the measurements given in the fol-
lowing figure. A = the highest point of the roof
within a distance of 3 metres.
Room ventilation
For good combustion, the appliance needs air (oxy-
gen). This air is supplied via adjustable air inlets from
the area in which the appliance is installed.
If ventilation is insufficient, combustion will be
incomplete, which may lead toxic gases to
spread through the room.
As a rule of thumb, the air supply should be
5.5cm²/kW. Extra ventilation is needed when:
The appliance is in a well-insulated area.
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 vent-
ilation louvre fitted on the outside wall.
Make sure that other air consuming appliances (such
as tumble-driers, other heating appliances or a bath-
room fan) have their own supply of outside air, or are
switched off when you use the appliance.
Floor and walls
The floor on which the appliance is placed must have
sufficient bearing capacity. The weight of the appli-
ance is given in the appendix “Technical Data
appendix”.
Protect flammable flooring from heat radiation
by means of a fireproof protective plate. See
the appendix "Distance from combustible
material".
Subject to change because of technical improvements 13

Remove combustible material such as lino-
leum, carpets/rugs and similar materials below
the fireproof protective plate.
Keep sufficient distance between the appli-
ance 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
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 dia-
meter is permissible.
Carpets and rugs must be at least 80 cm away
from the fire.
Use a fireproof floor plate to protect a flam-
mable floor from any ash which may fall in front
of the stove. The floor plate must comply with
national standards.
For the dimensions of the fireproof protective
plate: see the appendix "Distance from com-
bustible material".
For further requirements with respect to fire
safety, see the appendix "Distance from com-
bustible material".

The TAI C appliance can be used to burn coal
(anthracite) for continuous use. The appliance is
equipped with a coal bunker as standard.
The appliance can be connected to the chimney at
the rear.
The appliance comes with a “cold hand” to manip-
ulate the riddling grate (TAI M), to open the filling lid
and to remove the ash pan.
The multi-fuel appliance (TAI M) is equipped with a
separate door for adding the fuel, the ‘side filling
door’.
The coal bunker can easily be removed via the
filling lid.
The TAI M appliance is equipped with a riddling
grate.
The TAI C appliance is equipped with a fixed burn-
ing grate.
The appliance has two access ports for ash
removal.
The appliance is equipped with an adjustable ther-
mostat.
The appliance is equipped with chamotte or refract-
ory stone interior cladding.
Installation
Preparation
Please check the appliance immediately after deliv-
ery for damage during transport or any other dam-
age or defects. The appliance is attached to the
pallet with screws at the bottom.
If you detect transport damage or any other
damage or defects, do not use the appliance
and notify the supplier.
Remove the removable parts (fire-resistant inner
plates, ash pan, grates, bunker and filling lid) from
the appliance before installing the appliance.
By removing removable parts, it is easier to
move the appliance and to avoid damage.
Note the location of the removable parts, so
that you can re-position the parts in the correct
place later on.
Chamotte inner plates are ochrous on delivery.
They insulate the combustion chamber to
improve the combustion, and they can with-
stand burning anthracite.
Preparing the connection to
the flue
You can connect the appliance to the chimney at the
rear.
Installing and connecting
1. Position the appliance in the correct place, and
make sure it is level.
2. Connect the appliance to the flue hermetically.
3. Re-position all removed parts in the correct places
in the appliance.
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
If it is found that there is inadequate draw, the
recuperator plate at the back of the appliance
can be moved to reduce the dampening. See
next figure.

Position 1: factory setting for a standard hearth.
Position 2: the setting for a hearth with less draw.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the appliance 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 win-
dows and doors for a while in the area in which the
appliance is located.
Fuel
Appliance TAI M can be used to burn brown coal bri-
quettes, anthracite coal and natural wood; sawn and
split and adequately dry.
Appliance TAI C is only suitable for burning anthracite
coal.
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the appliance.
The following fuels may not be used as they pollute
the environment, and because they heavily pollute 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 appliance door and in the flue. The
water vapour will condense in the appliance 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 chim-
ney 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.
16 Subject to change because of technical improvements

Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is divided into various categories on
the basis of characteristics, sometimes specified by
law, such as the percentage of volatile compounds.
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
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 kind-
ling and light the cube according to the instructions
on the packaging.
4. Close the door of the appliance and open the
primary and secondary air inlets by completely
opening the primary and secondary air sliders; see
the following figure. If there is inadequate draw,
the ash pan can be set at a small tilt for some
time.
5. Let the fire develop into a good blaze until there is
glowing bed of charcoal. After this, you can add
more fuel and adjust the appliance; see the sec-
tions on "Burning wood", "Burning brown coal bri-
quettes (for TAI M only)" and "Burning anthracite
coals (for TAI M and TAI C)" .

Burning wood (TAI M)
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Subject to change because of technical improvements 17

Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
Compact stacking
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs eas-
ily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period, make
a compact stack.
4. Close the door of the appliance.
5. Close the primary air inlet and leave the secondary
air inlet open.
Do not fill the appliance by more than a third.
6. To subsequently add fuel, use the filling door of
the appliance.
Burning brown coal
briquettes (TAI M)
Brown coal briquettes burn in almost the same way as
wood. Using the primary air inlet, ensure sufficient
supply of air under the fire. For further information see
the paragraph "Burning wood".
Burning brown coal briquettes creates a lot of ash.
Regularly remove excess ash. See the paragraph
"Removing ashes" for instructions.
For the properties and use of brown coal bri-
quettes: consult your brown coal briquette sup-
plier or see the brown coal briquette packaging.
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Place the brown coal briquettes on the charcoal
bed.
4. Close the door.
Burning anthracite coal (TAI
M and TAI C)
When burning anthracite coal, always close
the secondary air slide and close the cover
plate (fuel selection) in the back wall.
Burning coal without bunker
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Open the primary air slide completely.
2. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
3. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
4. Spread a shovelful of coal on the charcoal bed and
wait with the next shovelful until the coals start to
glow.
5. Now add more coal.
18 Subject to change because of technical improvements

Be careful not to smother the fire by adding too
much coal at once.
You have added as much as you can when the
glow from the previous load is only just visible.
6. Close the door.
7. Allow the coal to burn well for a few minutes and
then set the thermostat to the desired position.
If the coal basket begins to glow red, the fire is
burning too strongly.
Burning coal with bunker
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Open the primary air slide (thermostat) all the way.
2. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
3. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
4. Close the door.
5. Slowly open the filling panel in the top plate.

6. Fill the bunker with coal to below the rearmost air
openings in the bunker.
7. Close the filling lid.
8. Allow the coal to burn well for a few minutes and
then set the thermostat to the desired position.
The filling frequency depends on the output
demanded.
To keep the stove burning at night, the ther-
mostat is turned down to around position 1.
The correct position depends on the flue and
the weather conditions.
If the coal basket begins to glow red, the fire is
burning too strongly.
Heating recommendations
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
fire if the temperature in the flue increases sud-
denly. By allowing the fire to burn very
intensely regularly, layers of tar and creosote
will disappear.
Low intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is bet-
ter to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Regulate the air supply using the secondary air
inlet (only when burning wood).
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to
the fire but to the glass as well, so that it does
not quickly become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Regularly adding small amounts of brown coal bri-
quettes or anthracite coal is better than adding a
large amount of brown coal briquettes or anthracite
coal in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on

the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.
Removing ash
A relatively large amount of ash is left over after burn-
ing brown coal briquettes and anthracite coal.
Remove the excess ash regularly.
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulating layer
for the stove base plate and improves combustion. It
is a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a cast-iron inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
The ash should never reach the bottom of the grate.
This will cause the grate to overheat and be damaged.
1. Use the “cold hand” provided to manipulate the rid-
dling grate (TAI M).
2. Open the ash door.
3. Use the poker provided to break up the ashes
through the access openings above the grate.

4. Remove the ash pan using the "cold hand"
provided and empty the ash pan; see next figure.

5. Install the ash pan and close the ash door of the
appliance.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the chim-
ney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the chim-
ney checked for soot.
