1.
Congratulations with your new Globe Fire stove
Cast iron stoves have a long tradition. Our business is in its
6th generation of development and production of stoves,
insert fires and cookers.
Our models are all made of a high quality cast iron using
advanced technology, enabling you to burn your fire for long
periods.
Please read the User’s manual carefully and follow all
instructions given.
We wish you a cosy warmth and much pleasure with
our product in the years to come.
Your Globe-fire team.

2.
Safety regulations
The user must consult the user’s manual for instructions on
operating and using the stove.
The stove has been tested according to German regulations.
This offers the possibility of connecting more than one stove to a
single chimney.
The chimney sweeper should be consulted about this.
When the stove is in use the door must be closed.
The fire can be regulated by the primary air regulator.
Do not close the primary air regulator before the wood has burnt to a glow
and the flames are no longer visible.
In houses where air supply (necessary for the fire to burn) is taken from
the room, there should be a sufficient supply of fresh air from outside.
The ash door should always remain closed when the fire is burning.
If the door is left open an uncontrollable amount of air is added to
the fire which may prove dangerous as the stove can become overheated and
parts that are in contact with the fire could buckle or even break.
When the stove is not used for a longer period of time, close the primary
regulator.
This is to ensure that any ash or smell of burning does not enter the
house.
WARNING: CHILDREN PLAYING !!!
A stove becomes very hot when fire is burning !!!

1. INSTALLATION OF STOVE.
The stove is ready for use and during transport must not be put on its side or
upside down.
Care must be taken when transporting the stove to avoid transport damage.
Ensure that cardboard or polystyrene is placed between the stove and the trolley
as the enamelled front and sides can be easily damaged.
After checking that the cleaning flap is in the correct position (at the bottom
behind the oven door) the stove can be connected to the chimney.
If possible, keep the flue pipe short, straight or slightly at an angle when
connecting it to the chimney.
Seal the connection (heat resisting fire rope).
National or European standards, including local standards and any fire
regulations must be complied with.
Ensure that there is sufficient air flow before burning wood.
This is particulary important in well insulated houses and those with a
mechanical ventilation system.
To ensure your chimney has the correct measurements it is possible to
measure it. Ask your chimney sweeper for advice.
Before placing the stove into position check to see if the floor can take the
weight.
When in doubt place the stove on a large slab of stone or marble to divide the
weight.
2. GENERAL FIRE SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.
During wood burning, high temperatures are reached making it impossible to
touch the top, sides or door without using heat resisting gloves.
Children must be made aware of the dangers and kept away from the stove
when lit.

3. TYPES OF FUEL PERMITTED.
Use blocks of wood approx. 25 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter.
Certain types of coal can also be used, with the exception of black coal and anthracite
which is not recommended because of overheating causing the cast iron to warp or
break.
Wood must be dry. (max. 20% moisture content)
Burning synthetic materials, plastic, varnished wood or other materials is strictly
forbidden by law because of emission of harmful gasses endangering health.
The chimney and stove will become severely damaged and the smell produced is a
hindrance for the neighbourhood.
Unlike gas or oil, wood cannot burn overnight.
4. OPERATION OF THE STOVE.
Lighting the stove for the first time will cause an unpleasant smell and blue damp.
Leaving a window open while the paint is hardening is recommended.
Make sure the fire burns well so that the paint hardening process is successful.
Once this is done there will be no more trouble with smell and damp.
Never use methylated spirits, petrol or other fluids to light the stove. This can be very
dangerous.
Using a firelighter is recommended.
The wood used must not be younger than 2 years and no older than 6 years.
Young wood is too wet and will produce too much soot. Old wood is not suitable to
start a fire as it no longer contains any gasses, which will prevent the right
temperature being reached quickly for a fast and clean burning.
With the technique we use, the fire will burn at its best within 15 to 20 min.
Before starting the fire, check to see that all air vents are open.
When the fire is burning well, the fire grid can be closed and the flames regulated with
the primary / secondary regulator.
Do not close up completely while flames are visible. (This is to avoid smoke entering the
room)
Stay with the stove until burning well.
If the fire has been started well the stove should remain quite clean.
Wait until the wood has to a glow before putting on more logs.burnt

6. AIR SUPPLY.
Always make sure there is enough air in the room.
5.
7. USING THE FIRE IN THE AUTUMN AND SPRING.
In these seasons of the year when the outside temperature is higher your chimney
may not have a good chimney draught and the smoke will not be sucked out enough.
In this case it is recommended to use a lot of dry wood (three quarters full) not older
than 6 years.
By lighting the fire for the first time, also when the temperature is not so high,
follow the recommendations “ how to fire “
8. CARE AND MAINTENANCE.
The stove must be cleaned yearly and occasionally even more often.
We recommend that the chimney is swept every year by a professional chimney
sweeper.
The Globe-fire stoves have been treated with a heat resisting paint. After this
has hardened, the stove can be cleaned with a damp cloth, using a dry cloth to dry
off afterwards.
The stove window can be cleaned with a glass cleaner.
Badly stained glass can be cleaned with a special gel or oven cleaner.
Never clean the stove when it is hot.
Remove the ash between the fire grid so that the grid can revolve easily.

9. COOKING AND BAKING IN THE OVEN.
Preheat the oven well by keeping the oven control closed until the correct
temperature is reached.
The baking temperature is regulated by the oven control.
To ensure that food is baked evenly, turn baking tin occasionally.
The oven thermometer will give the exact temperature of the oven.
10. FRESH AIR FLOW FOR MAXIMUM COMBUSTION.
If your house is fitted with a mechanical ventilation system it is necessary to
use an external air flow which can be fitted onto the rear of the stove.
Problems can also occur if an extractor hood with a high extraction capacity
is fitted in your kitchen and the house is well insulated.
Too much air will be taken out of the room causing smoke to be extracted
from the stove.
This can be solved by placing an automatic switch in your extractor hood
which only works with a window open.
These can be supplied by your electrician.
12. FIRE SAFETY DISTANCES.
Furniture and flammable wall.
The distance from the back of the stove is 20 cm.
From both sides 25 cm.
From the glass 80 - 100 cm.
Floor.
A flammable floor ( carpet, wood etc. ) must be protected by a fireproof plate that is 30 cm
wider on both sides and at least 50 cm in front.
Each type of stove may have different regulations so please consult the page on types of stoves
in your user’s manual to find the distances required.
13. PARTS.
It is only possible to replace parts with original parts belonging to the stove.
These parts can be ordered through your supplier.
The fireplace must under no circumstances be altered in any way.
11. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY A CHIMNEY FIRE.
Using wet wood, burning at low temperatures or using the wrong sorts of fuel can
cause a depository of soot in the chimney.
This can result in a chimney fire.
In this case close all air vents and contact the fire brigade.
After the fire, get your chimney sweeper to check for any cracks that may have
occured and sweep the chimney.
14. CAPACITY.
This stove has been tested at 7,0 kW.
When adding fuel it is recommended not to use more than 3 blocks of wood.
When using brown coal use only 3 or 4 briquettes.
Do not open the stove door before the wood has burnt to a glow and
flames are no longer visible !!!
15. CAPACITY.
Capacity, depending on the building material used for your house and tested according
to European and German requirements:
Favourable conditions - To be calculated according to DIN 4701

Durability
As a family business in our 6th generation durability has become one of our
core values.
The materials we use for our products are of a high quality and completely
recyclable which makes it possible to re-use after a long period of time.
In order to lengthen the lifespan of our stoves it is important for you to take
care of your stove and when necessary replace parts. These parts can be
ordered through us or our dealers.
We produce stoves using the latest technology which we have developed
ourselves. All the required regulations and emission level standards were
reached with ease.
It is essential to keep the stove burning in the correct manner and use the
prescribed fuel.
This not only prolongs the lifespan of the stove but also ensures a clean
burning with the minimum of environmental taxation.
In this way unnecessary wastage and unnecessary taxation is avoided.
