APPLICATIONS
The free-standing stoves by FRAM GmbH are stoves from the group of solid-fuel hearths with a manual fuel
load, connected to a building by means of a conduit which transports ue gases out of the building, and a
lockable hearth door. They are designed to burn hardwood, specically, hornbeam, oak, beech, acacia, elm,
maple, or birch, with a humidity of <20% (lignite and charcoal briquettes are also allowed). They provide an
additional heat source for the rooms they are installed in.
NOTE BEFORE INSTALLATION!
To prevent the risk of re, the heater must be installed in compliance with the rules and regulations of good
building practice, and with the technical guidelines provided in this Installation and Operation Manual. The
design of the chimney system must be by a qualied specialist. Prior to commissioning, a recorded technical
acceptance must be conducted and the chimney sweep and re-specialist assessments attached.
GENERAL REMARKS
a) Prior to the heater’s installation, the chimney ue must be assessed by an expert and accepted for its techni-
cal specications, as well as the technical functionality of leak tightness and ow capacity.
b) The installation and start up of the heater must be carried out by an installation-specialist company with
satisfactory qualications and experience.
c) The heater must be placed as close to the chimney ue as possible. The room it will be installed in must have a
functional ventilation system and the required amount of air for correct heater operation.
d) Before you start using the heater, remove the stickers from the glass.
e) The technical parameters of the stove apply to the fuel specied in these operating instructions.
f) The chimney ues must be inspected in the due time (min. twice a year).
g) Pursuant to the applicable law, a stove may not be the only source of heat, but a supplementary one to the
existing heating system only. The purpose of such a regulation is the necessity to provide heating for build-
ings during a prolonged absence of residents.
The heater’s installation must be performed with adherence to the provisions in force within this standard
scope, construction-law requirements and re-safety standards in force in this regard. The particular provi-
sions on design safety, re safety and safety of use are laid down in the construction regulations and codes in
force in the respective countries.
FUEL CHOICE
Recommended Fuel
- The manufacturer recommends hardwood billets like beech, hornbeam, oak, alder, birch, ash, etc., with billet
or split log dimensions 30cm long and circumferences between 30 and 50cm.
- The humidity of the fuel wood for the appliance should not exceed 20 %, which is characteristic of wood
seasoned 2 years after felling and stored under cover.
Not Recommended Fuel
You should avoid burning billets of split logs with a humidity of over 20% as it can prevent the appliance from
achieving its declared technical specications, and can reduce the heat output.
Burning softwood billets and high-resin wood in the appliance is not recommended, as they result in heavy
smoking and frequent cleaning of the appliance and chimney ue.
Prohibited Fuel
The following is not allowed to be burned in the heaters: minerals, e.g. coal, tropical wood (like mahogany),
chemical products and uids, (like oil, alcohol, petrol, and naphthalene), laminated boards, or adhesive-bond-
ed, impregnated or pressed wood chips and litter. If any other fuel is allowed, it will be notied on the rating
plate.
