In order to be able to use your new fireplace for a long time please read the following instructions
manual. You will find all the necessary information in it and some additional advice.
2FETY INSTRUCTIONS
This equipment has been certified under the requirements of standard DIN EN 13240 or DIN EN
12815 (see the model plate).
For setting purposes and connection to the chimney, the fire protection requirements as
prescribed in the given locations, as well as standards DIN 4705, DIN EN 13384, DIN EN 1856-2
and DIN EN 15287 should be complied with. For the problem-free functioning of the equipment,
the chimney that the fireplace is to be connected to has to be in perfect conditions (Germany).
Before the first commissioning and connection to the chimney, these user instructions are to be
read thoroughly, and the competent chimney sweeper has to be informed.
It is recommended to use clean cotton gloves for the setting of the equipment in order to avoid
the appearance of fingerprints that would be hard to eliminate later on.
In order to keep the air clean and maintain the equipment properly, the maximum fuel
quantities specified in these safety instructions may not be exceeded, and the doors of the
eqipment have to be kept closed, otherwise the equipment may overheat, leading to damage.
No guarantee is provided for such damage.
During operations, the doors of the equipment are to be kept always closed.
Permissible fuels:
- natural wood (max. 35 cm in length)
- brown coal briquette (see user instructions)
Never use liquid igniters. Use special ignition materials or wood wool for the kindling of the
fire.
Never use wastes, fine wooden chips, mulch, coal debris, particle board wastes, wet wood or
wood treated with wood-protective agents, paper or cardboard or similar materials for burning.
Upon the first kindling, smoke and unpleasant smell may be generated. Always ensure the
proper ventilation of the room (by opening windows and doors), and heat the fireplace at
maximum rated heating performance. If with the first heating the maximum temperature is not
reached, the above-mentioned effects may as well arise later on.
The operating elements and adjustment units are to be used as described in these user
instructions. If the equipment is hot, use auxiliaries or protective gloves for the handling of the
equipment.
When opening the furnace chamber door, any incorrect handling or insufficient draught may
induce smoke. Always ensure that the furnace chamber door may be opened only slowly, first
just to a small extent, and then fully after a few seconds. In addition, if you intend to put
additional fuel into the fire, before the opening of the door only there may be only ember bed
in the burning space, i.e. no flames may be visible.
In heating mode, the surfaces, inspection glasses and handles may become very hot. Warn
children of these threats, and keep them away from the fireplace when heated.
Ensure that the ashtray should be fully inserted, and in particular never remove hot ash from
the fireplace (fire risk).
In transitional periods, chimney draught may drop, resulting in the imperfect suction of the
generated flue gases. In such cases, the fireplace is to be filled with smaller quantities of fuel,
preferably wooden chips or wood wool, and it is to be commissioned under control with the
stabilization of the chimney draught. The fire grate should always be kept clean.
After the heating season, it is recommended to have the equipment inspected by an expert. It
is also advisable to clean the routes of flue gases and pipes.

Should repairs or reconditioning be needed, please, contact your dealer in a timely manner
with the accurate specification of the article and serial number. Only original Wamsler parts
may be used.
As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located, ensure
that sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and external doors. Make sure
that 4 m3 of air should be provided to each kW of rated performance. For this fireplace, it
means that the room has to be at least 32 m in volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air
supply can be secured by opening air connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150
cm2).
Ensure to keep proper lateral and rear distances from combustible parts and materials. The
associated values are specified in these user instructions or the model plate.
The fireplace may not be modified.
The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effective height of the
chimney is less than 4 m, or 5 m with multiple loading. To the chimney that the fireplace uses,
a maximum of two other fireplaces, ovens may be connected.
In the event of any chimney fire, immediately close all the openings of the equipment, and
call the fire service. Never try to extinguish the fire with water. Thereafter, always have the
chimney inspected by an expert.

Table 2
IT IS NOT ALLOWED to burn waste, fine chipping, bark, wood handled with preventive chemicals,
furthermore paper and cardboard. For kindling please use wood scrapings or grill starter but never
use liquid auxiliaries!
First kindling
Before installation, remove the securing element used for transportation from the baffle plate
over the combustion space (Picture 6).
Warning! Upon the first kindling, smoke and unpleasant smell may be generated. Always ensure the
proper ventilation of the room (by opening windows and doors), and heat the fireplace at maximum
rated heating performance. If with the first heating the maximum temperature is not reached, the
above-mentioned effects may as well arise later on.
Open the door by raising the handle (picture no. 2). If the equipment is hot, you can use
insulated gloves.
Open the primary air regulator (picture no. 3).
Put light wood or wood scrapings onto the fire-grate. First put small pieces of wood then bigger
ones on it, light them and close the door again. If the wood burns quickly and leaves sufficient
glowing embers, put further fuel on it. Following that, set the primary air regulator (picture no.
3) and the fuel separating according to the table on page 20.
The first kindling should be performed “finely” with little fuel only, so that the parts of the
fireplace are adapted to heat. During the first kindling, the generation of smell is normal and
absolutely un dangerous.
3.2 Putting out of operation
Let the glowing ember burn to ashes and the fire-place get cold.
Empty the furnace chamber and the ash bin.
Close the doors and push the primary air regulator totally to the left.
3.3 Heating instructions
Fire-places with closed furnace chamber have self-locking furnace chamber doors. These shall be
opened only for kindling, loading or when cleaning the furnace chamber (otherwise problems with
draught can occur at other equipment leading to the same chimney).
Warning!
When opening the furnace chamber door, any incorrect handling or insufficient draught may induce
smoke. Always ensure that the furnace chamber door may be opened only slowly, first just to a
small extent, and then fully after a few seconds. In addition, if You intend to put additional fuel
into the fire, before the opening of the door only there may be only ember bed in the burning
space, i.e. no flames may be visible.
Led into the burning space in correspondence with the existing conditions, the secondary air
provides for the follow-up burning of the combustible components of in the burning space. This in
fact means smoke and soot-poor burning, which contributes to the protection of the environment. If
you wish to commission the fireplace in a transitional period, please, please first examine the
chimney draught, as it can be especially weak at high external temperatures. Towards this end,
hold a burning match in the slightly opened feeding door. If the flame is not drawn significantly by
the draught, then a so-called starting fire is to be set first. Towards this end, burn wood chips/wool
in the fireplace or the cleaning hole of the chimney. The fire grate is to be cleaned before every
kindling to ensure the proper inflow of air for burning. The ashtray is to be emptied regularly
(Picture 4). Should the equipment be extremely hot, use the gloves provided. Please, be careful not
to dispose glowing materials into the waste bin.
Ensure that the ashtray should be fully pushed into the equipment.
Warning! In order to keep the air clean and safeguard the fireplace, do not exceed the specified
maximum fuel quantity; otherwise overheating may occur, which potentially damage the
equipment. Such damage is not covered with any guarantee. Only a single layer of fuel is allowable
to be prepared in the fireplace. Try to reach lower heating performance only by decreasing the
quantity of fuel, and not by cutting the primary air supply.

3.4 Cleaning and maintenance
After the heating season, it is recommended to clean the fireplace and the flue gas pipes carefully.
Any dropping heating performance is almost always the consequence of the strong contamination of
the flues. For cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 7) is to be pulled forward. This way, the flues can
be cleaned from the inside or –after removing the flue gas pipe –from above. After cleaning, the
baffle plate (Picture 7) is be pushed back fully again.
Warning!
Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thoroughly. If any repair or
reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer in a timely manner, and specify the
model number and serial number of your equipment (as seen on the model plate).
External surfaces may be maintained only after the fireplace cooled down, and following the first
commissioning. Use cold water for cleaning, or soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases,
then wipe it dry. Before its first use, clean the ROBAX inspection glass with a wet and clean cloth,
and then put a few drops of glass–ceramics cleaner onto both sides of the glass, and spread them
with the use of kitchen paper tissues. It provides an invisible film on the valuable surface of the
Robax glass. This film helps to keep the glass clean, and facilitates regular cleaning operations.
ROBAX S for slightly contaminated surfaces –a commercially available glass surface cleaning agent –
may as well be used for the cleaning of the medium or strongly contaminated glass surfaces of the
fireplace. Towards this end, spray small quantities of the agent to the cold surfaces, spread it, and
wash it down with a wet cloth, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. In case there are sticky
fuel deposits on these surfaces, first scale simply them with a ceramic-plate scraper held in flat
angle, and then clean the surfaces as described above.
Cleaning of the ceramic surfaces dirt and grease are to be removed with soap and water.
Cleaning of the soapstone: the soapstone is a natural stone, therefore minor colour differences may
occur ; as it is normal, they may not serve as a basis for quality complaints! To clean the soapstone
from dirt and fat with water and soap, as well as small scratches, use sand paper (grain size 240).
Warning: Under no circumstances you may use sponge, scouring, aggressive or scratching cleaning
agents! If the grate is blocked so that the equipment cannot serve the intended function, the grate
is to be removed for cleaning.

2.1 Requirements
When placing the fire-place and jointing the smoke tube side the fire protection requirements of
the relevant construction provisions must be taken into consideration.
For the problem-free functioning of the equipment the chimney which the fire-place uses must be
in perfect condition.
4.1 Place of installation
As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located, ensure that
sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and external doors. Make sure that 4 m3
of air should be provided to each kW of rated performance. For this fireplace, it means that the
room has to be at least 28 m in volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured
by opening air connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm2).
4.2 Distances
All the combustible materials, furniture or e.g. decoration materials that are in the close
environment of the fireplace should be protected from the heat.
Furnishing in the radiation area
Keep a minimal distance of 80 cm (A) between the front edge of the fireplace and the combustible
equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials in the building. The security distance can be
reduced to 40 cm (B) if a heat shield is placed in front of the object to be protected (see example
in Picture 8).
Furnishing beyond the radiation area
The walls beside and behind the fireplace may not be made of combustible materials, and they
cannot be covered with such materials if the distance on the sides is under 30 cm, or 20 cm on the
rear side. Similarly, the distance to wooden and plastic furniture on the sides should be at least 20
cm
(see Picture 9).

5The flooring under the fire-place
Flooring made of combustible materials like carpet, parquet floor or cork shall be protected by a
shield of non-combustible material (e.g. ceramics-, stone-, glass-floor or metal) placed under the
fire-place reaching 50 cm in front of the furnace chamber and 30 cm besides.
Joint of the chimney
WARNING:
Before connecting the fireplace to the chimney, seek advice from the competent chimney sweeper!
The connecting elements should be attached to the equipment and to each other in a properly
sealed and stable manner. They may not hang into the unobstructed cross-section of the chimney.
The interconnecting piece between the chimney and the fireplace should be of the same cross-
section size as the pipe stub of the fireplace. Horizontal connecting pieces should ascend to the
chimney in 10°. Pipes that are not heat-protected or not led vertically may not be longer than 1 m.
There should be a minimum distance of 40 cm kept between the connection pieces of the fireplace
and combustible materials in the building. Provided that the interconnecting pieces have a non-
combustible coating of minimum 2 cm, the distance from combustible materials may be at least 10
cm. If the interconnecting pieces are led through equipment or furnishing made from combustible
materials, they have to be covered with a protecting tube made from any non-combustible material
in a distance of at least 20 cm, or they have to be coated with any non-combustible material with
low heat conductance in a minimum range of 20 cm.
Smaller distances to combustible materials are permissible if it is ensured that at the rated
performance of the fireplace the temperature cannot rise over 85°C at the combustible equipment
and furnishings.
WARNING:
The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effective height of the
chimney is less than 4 m, or 5 m with multiple loading (see the details of chimney calculations on
page 29).
To the chimney that the fireplace uses, a maximum of two other fireplaces, ovens may be
connected.
The fire-place can usually be
jointed
to the chimney with an arch.
When the chimney draught is weak
the
fire–place must be jointed to the
chimney through a vertical smoke tube.

6Outside air intake
For this equipment combustion air can also be added from the outside. It makes installation easier
in houses with passive and low energy consumption if the ventilation in the living quarters is
controlled. Connection is possible through a tube with a diameter of 100 mm. The combustion air
supply pipe has to be equipped with a stop-cock close to the stove. Of course, heating is also
possible with the air of the room –see: Item 2.2 (Germany).
The stoves use room air for combustion, and a sufficient supply of combustion air is therefore
essential. The air pressure in the room of installation must not be negative. Please observe the
relevant technical rules / regulations and any additional information when operating your appliance
in combination with air conditioning systems (for ex. ventilation systems, exhauster hoods,
pneumatic conveyor systems etc.).
