Preparations
Manufacturer’s declaration
This product has been manufactured in
accordance with the documents that constitute
the basis for product certification wherein the
installation- and maintenance instructions are
integrated.
General information
The Smålandsspis 28 is manufactured of sturdy
cast iron. The housing of the fireplace is
protected by internal cast iron side walls. The
recessed grate forms the bottom of the
fireplace. Smålandsspis 28 is equipped with an
oven and on the top of the stove there are 3
removable cooking plates. Thanks to the heat
storing materials, the heat retention lasts for
hours after the fire has gone out. The stove is
tightened with soapstone cement and is being
kept together by 4 threaded bars, one in each
corner, fastened with a screw cap at the top
and with a nut under the base plate of the
stove. The fireplace door is covered with a
protection against overheating. The fact that
the fireplace door is tightened with a fire fast
sealing strip and that preheated secondary air is
being added to the fireplace through the holes
in the internal side walls to speed up the
combustion, a maximum of heating effect and a
minimum of wood consumption are achieved.
To make sure that primary air is being added to
the fire, keep the fireplace door slightly open
during the lighting process and stoking process.
It may be necessary for you to apply for building
permission from your local planning authority
before installing a stove or erecting a chimney.
Before starting installation work, make sure that
you check which regulations apply.
We would
advise you to get in touch with your local
chimney sweeper already at the planning stage
of the installation.
Before the stove is used, it must be inspected by
an authorized chimney sweeper or relevant
authority to verify that the installation is proper
made according to the installation instructions
and that the connection to the chimney is tight.
This inspection must be carried out before using
the stove disrespectable of if it refers to a
connection to an existing or to a new chimney.
Please, be aware that no kitchen ventilator or
similar device should be used in the same room
during the firing in the stove.
Warning!
When the stove is in use certain surfaces
become very hot, more than 90
o
C. Physical
contact with these surfaces can cause skin
burns.
Please be aware that the fireplace door and the
ash-pan are to be kept closed with the
exception of the lighting and stoking processes.
Modification of the stove is not allowed.
Chimney
The diameter of the chimney flue must be
minimum 125mm, and have a draught of at
least 0,12mbar. The shortest recommended
length of the chimney flue is minimum 3,5m,
measured from the connection point at the
stove. There are two different designs of
Smålandsspisen28, rear or top connection to
the chimney flue.
The stove designed for rear connection is
equipped with an oval fabric mounted flue
connection tube. Enclosed with the delivery
there is an oval tube connection made of cast
iron intended to be connected
to the brick-lined chimney. Use the enclosed
cement inside this connection and also inside
the fabric mounted connection. The stove is
now ready to be connected to the bricked
chimney.
The stove designed for top connection has a
top with a round flue connection tube to which
a flue pipe with a diameter of 125 mm is to be
connected. Round flue pipes for top connection
are to be ordered separately and are to be
sealed with stove cement.
Structural support
Normally, a kitchen stove and a (light-weight)
chimney can be located on standard wooden
floor joists in a single-family house.
Smålandsspisen Mod. 28 requires a floor plate
under, in front off and at the two sides of the
stove. Minimum protection in front of the stove
is 0,3m and 0.1 mm at both sides. Floor plates
are available as accessories.

Air of combustion & Fresh air
The air consumed for the combustion, approximately 10-20m³ per hour, is considered to be
negligible. In houses with mechanical ventilation and in good isolated houses, however, it is
recommended to place the stove close to a valve placed in an external wall. The combustion air can
also be supplied from outside by connecting fresh air supply under the stove.
Please study these instructions carefully before starting to use your stove and remember that the
installation has to be approved by the chimney sweeper before you are allowed to use the stove.
The supply of air for the combustion is carried out in 2different ways.
1.
Keep the fireplace door slightly open
(primary air) during the lighting and
stoking processes.
2, 3.
Secondary (pre-warmed) air is being
supplied through the holes in the side
walls of the fireplace through the air inlet
at the base plate.
(Adjustable through the
screw at the front of the base plate.)
Distance to combustible material
The distance to a wall made of combustible material must not be below 50 cm. If you are planning
to install your stove against a wall made of combustible material, for instance wood, first leave an air
gap of minimum 0.5-1 cm and then build a separating wall made of full bricks (bricks without any
holes) in half-stone size, normally with a width of 10 cm.
Contact your chimney sweeper before you start the installation for further guidance and to be
informed about further local regulations.
Important! All local regulations, including those referring to national or European norms must be
fulfilled when installing this device.

Instructions for use and Lighting instructions
When lighting the fire in your new Smålandsspis 28 for the first couple of times, it is recommended
to heat cautiously. The heat-resisting paint will be more durable (it may produce a distinctive smell
at the beginning) and also the soap stone slab on top of the oven gets dry.
NB! The stove must not be used as a combustion furnace. Other kind of fuel than what is recommended
must not be used!
Fuel
The best heating value is achieved from chopped birch wood (generally from hardwood) that
burns smoother than softwood. If you burn oak- or beech wood or another kind of wood with a
high heating value you have to mix in some other kind of wood or you will risk to harm your
fireplace. Peat pellets are also suitable.
The wood must be dry, with a moisture content of about 15-20%, and have the right size with a
length of about 250 – 300mm and a diameter of 50 – 80mm. For a normal fire-burning a quantity
of about 1,0 kg/wood an hour would be appropriate. The stoking amount should not exceed
1,2kg.
Lighting & Baking
If the chimney is cold and the draught is poor, you can try lighting some newspapers/fire starting
cubes in the flue soot door or in the soot door of the wood stove placed under the oven.
How to start a fire:
Stoke No.1:
1. Place 3-4 pieces of smaller wood logs at the bottom of the fireplace. Put some newspapers
or preferably fire starting cubes (do not soot) on the top of the logs. Then place another 6-7
logs on top but see to it that the maximum quantity does not exceed 1.3 kg.
2. Keep the fireplace door slightly open and set the screw at the base plate in vertical position
(open).
3. After about 5-6 minutes, close the primary air supply (the fireplace door) and let it lean just 1
mm.
4. Set the screw at the base plate (secondary air supply) in the proper position to let the fire
burn with a yellowish flame.
Stoke No.2:
5. Use the poker to distribute the glowing embers over the grates.
6. Stoke with 3 logs weighing about 1.0 kg
7. Keep the fireplace door slightly open to let the logs catch the fire and then close the door.
8. Set the screw at the base plate in its vertical position (open). Open the change-over damper
of the ash-pan and the sliding valve in the ash-pan to get the best draught.
9. After about 5-6 minutes reduce the opening of the primary air supply (the sliding air valve
in the ash-pan) to about 1 mm and then after about further 2 minutes totally choke the
primary air supply.
10. Set the screw at the base plate (secondary air) in the proper position to let the fire burn with
a yellowish flame.
Stoking the fire
Open the fireplace door slowly to avoid smoke to come out in the room. Then repeat the steps 5-
10 from chapter ”Lighting and Baking”.
NB! Never stoke with logs as long as there is a good fire in the wood stove.
