Safety provisions
During the use of the boiler, its individual parts: chimney, door,
individual points of the body - can heat up and cause burns if
touched.
Do not allow children to touch or use the boiler without adult
supervision.
The boiler can be operated by a capable adult who has
carefully familiarized himself with this instruction.
Only a qualied specialist can install the boiler and connect it
to the heating and electrical systems.
If you suspect that the boiler has malfunctioned, please
contact the organization that installed the boiler or
the manufacturer’s representative. Do not under any
circumstances use a malfunctioning boiler.
Improperly connected and used boiler can cause injury or
death.

1.1 General information
Read this instruction carefully before connecting the boiler-
stove to the heating system. Check whether all the parts
belonging to the set are present, whether all boiler-stove
components and equipment are working properly. Boilers-
stoves are designed for heating private residential houses and
commercial and auxiliary premises. Boilers-stoves belong
to the so-called low-temperature boilers category, i.e. the
temperature of the heat carrier (water) cannot exceed 90 °C,
and the maximum operating pressure - 1.5 bar.
The boiler-stove heat exchanger is characterized by
exceptional durability and low requirements for chimney draft
and easy maintenance. The main control elements consist of
an air supply valve and a smoke distribution damper, which
directs the hot air supply through the heat exchanger (when
closed) and directs it directly to the chimney (when opened).
The increased fuel loading volume and the enlarged loading
opening allow signicantly larger rewood to be loaded, which
ensures a very long burning time.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make minor changes
that do not signicantly affect the quality of the combustion
process and the operation of the boiler.
1.2 Standards and regulations
The boiler-stove must be installed and operated in
compliance with the legal requirements of the country to
which it is supplied. It must be installed in accordance with the
requirements of the maintenance and installation instructions.
Otherwise, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility and
does not guarantee repair for any defects.

3.1 Boiler-stove components

3.2 Boiler-stove
The boiler-stove consists of three main zones. In the upper
part, there is a cast-iron hob (8) with one or two sets of
rings, depending on the Ignis model. One or two vertical heat
exchangers (3) are installed below the cast iron hob. The fuel
loading door (9) is used when it is necessary to rell the boiler-
stove with fuel. In the area of the service door (13) there are cast
iron grates (5), above them the combustion chamber (4) and
below the ash tray (6). The combustion chamber is rectangular
in shape, has a large volume and ensures long burning. The
lower door area has two compartments: the upper one for
lighting the fuel and the lower one for the ashtray. An air supply
valve (14) is installed in the lower door, which is controlled
mechanically by turning the regulator. The internal heat
exchanger body of the boiler-stove is made of bent and welded
heat-resistant steel sheets, and the nish is made of powder-
coated sheets. Under the boiler-stove nish is an insulating
layer of glass wool, which protects against heat loss through
the boiler’s outer walls. The double doors are sealed with heat-
insulating material and painted with heat-resistant paint. The
gases produced during combustion are removed through the
chimney pipe (2). The smoke distribution valve (1) is used to
direct the gases produced during combustion directly into the
chimney or through the heat exchanger.

4.1 General information
Boilers-stoves Ignis are delivered ready for work. Before
connecting the boiler-stove to the heating system, read
this manual carefully and check that all components and
equipment of the boiler-stove are working properly. Ignis
boilers-stoves are delivered to the buyer fully assembled, but
the thermometer is not installed in order to avoid damage
during transportation. It comes packed in an ash box.
4.2 Location and position of the boiler-stove
The boiler-stove must stand on a hard, smooth and non-
ammable dry surface. It is forbidden to place the boiler near
ammable materials. The minimum safe distance (from
combustible materials) for Ignis boilers and stoves is 50 cm.
Provide good access to the boiler for service personnel.
Also ensure good access from all sides of the boiler so that
nothing interferes with loading fuel and cleaning the boiler, it is
convenient to access the ash collector, liner, connections and
chimney.
The boiler room must be equipped with adequate air supply
and smoke extraction ventilation. Minimal active ventilation
channel’s cross-sectional dimensions are specied in
regulatory acts for the country which boiler is operated in.
To prevent a decrease in draft and uncontrolled smoke
emission, do not install mechanical smoke removal equipment
(smoke extractors) in the boiler room.

4.3 Connecting the boiler-stove to the chimney
The chimney must be installed to meet the requirements of the
country where it is installed. The dimensions of the chimney
insert recommended by the boiler manufacturer:
• Ignis “M” - chimney outlet diameter - 130 mm. The insert is
installed inside the chimney.
• Ignis “D” - chimney outlet diameter - 150 mm. The insert is
installed inside the chimney.
The boiler ue pipe must be connected to the ue itself with
a rigid steel connection of suitable cross-section, shape and
thickness. The connection of the solid fuel boiler to the chimney
must be properly insulated to prevent burns.
4.4 Connecting the boiler-stove to the central heating system
Delegate the boiler-stove connection work to properly
qualied specialists.
In order to extend the service life of the boiler-stove and to
ensure adequate comfort of use, it is necessary to follow such
an installation scheme that ensures the maintenance of the
working temperature of the boiler not below 60°C. With the
help of a specialist, make sure that the condition of the boiler,
the tightness of the plumbing connections and the ue and
the components are working properly. The closed heating
system must have a thermal expansion compensation vessel of
adequate capacity (at least 10% of the total liquid volume in the
system). The use of safety valves or valves that limit the ow
in a closed system is prohibited. Recommended connection
schemes are presented in subsection 4.5.

The air valve is adjusted mechanically by turning the knob (1)
and is set according to the required amount of air. Turning the
knob clockwise opens the air valve, counter-clockwise it closes.
It is possible to install a traction regulator. The draft regulator
automatically controls the air valve in front of the lower door
by chain. During combustion, when the temperature rises, the
damper is closed, and when it falls, it is opened.
Check the operation of the shutter - it must move freely.

5.1 General information and sefety
Use the boiler-stove safely and follow the basic safety and
operating rules.
• Check the operation of the safety valve (max. 1.5 bar) and
open the shut-off valves between the heating boiler and the
heating system.
• Check the water pressure in the system.
• The heating system must be lled with water and bled.
• Do not use ammable liquids such as gasoline, paint thinners
etc. when starting solid fuel.
• Do not burn plastic, rubber and other air-polluting waste.
• The smoke extraction system must be reliably connected and
tight.
• Unmaintained chimney, insufcient draft can cause Carbon
monoxide poisoning.
• Carry out maintenance work on the boiler only after it has
cooled down.
5.2 Boiler-stove fuel
Wood. The boiler-stove will reach the power specied in the
technical parameter table if you burn wood with a moisture
content of no more than 20%. The burning duration depends
on the amount of fuel charged, its quality, outdoor and indoor
temperature, the building’s thermal resistance, the working
capacity of the boiler and the quality of compliance with
the recommendations in the user manual (connection and
adjustment of the boiler, heating water ow and temperature
maintenance).
Coal. A mixture of black coal: medium and ne coal (50/50%).

5. Using the boiler

5.3 Ignition
1) Check the water pressure and tightness of the boiler and
system.
2) Check the draft and the condition of the smoke channels.
3) Clean the boiler ash grates, smoke channels and internal
side walls of the boiler-stove.
4) Put fuel through the upper door.
5) Fully open the smoke distribution valve.
6) Fueling is done through the bottom door. After lighting the
fuel the door must be closed.
7) After the fuel is ignited, the smoke distribution valve is closed.
8) If the boiler-stove works too intensively, the power can be
reduced by adding an air supply valve.
8) The recommended operating temperature of the boiler is
80-85 ºC.
9) If the working temperature of the boiler is exceeded, it must
be adjusted with the help of the air supply valve.
If a specialist installs the boiler for the rst time, he must
familiarize the user with the instructions for using the boiler.
Grates must be placed correctly (“VVVVV”). When stacked in
reverse, wood fractions and ash fall, clogging the gaps. In this
case, the boiler loses its traction and power, the grates fold.

5. Using the boiler

5.4 Boiler-stove operation
1) Depending on the heat demand and burning intensity,
refuel periodically.
2) When leaving the boiler-stove to operate during the night,
the air supply valve can be closed - thus reducing the boiler’s
power. However, if the air supply is reduced too much, soot
begins to accumulate on the walls of the boiler-stove and the
efciency of the boiler decreases.
3) The door of the boiler-stove must be closed during the entire
operation.
5.5 Boiler-stove maintenance
Ashtray.
Clean the ashtray as needed, depending on the type of fuel
used. Overfull ashtray prevents the proper combustion of fuel
- improper air distribution occurs, so the fuel burns unevenly
along the entire length of the boiler.
Cleaning.
It is recommended that all combustion waste and slag be
cleaned before each new ignition. The heat exchanger is easily
cleaned by removing the coils. The combustion chamber is
cleaned through the upper door or through the removed rings.
Cleaning of cast iron grates and ashtray is done by pulling out
the components through the bottom door.
Recommendations.
• The tar layer formed inside the boiler-stove can be reduced
by burning aspen or black alder rewood at maximum
temperature.
• Periodically inspect the boiler-stove and the heating system.
