During combustion, wood only emits the same amount of CO2 that it previously
held as a tree. It makes no difference whether the wood burns or rots in the
forest.
Thus heating with wood corresponds to the natural biological cycle.
When installing and starting-up the appliance, observe the local fire protection
laws and building regulations as well as the following standards /regulations:

CAUTION! CHILDREN PLAYING!
The appliance becomes very hot when it is in operation. Make sure that child-
ren are never in the immediate vicinity of the appliance when it is in use.
CORRECT INSTALLATION AND START-UP
The safety of the appliance can only be assured if it has been installed by a trai-
ned technician, in compliance with the standards and regulations applicable at
the place of installation. Make sure that the requirements of the applicable laws
and standards as well as the local fire protection laws and building regulations
are adhered to. Please consult the local qualified chimney sweep regarding the
assessment of building and technical conditions.
When operating the stove, make sure that there is an adequate supply of fresh
air in the room where the appliance is located. An air exchange of at least 0.8
times per hour by means of a permanent and secure ventilation of the room
must be ensured. If the windows and doors are tightly sealed or if other ap-
pliances such as extractor hoods, tumble driers, ventilators etc. draw air from
the room where the appliance is located, it may be necessary to provide fresh
combustion air from outside. The inlet apertures for combustion air must not
be closed.
For the first 2 to 3 days run the stove with a low output. This allows the stove
lining to dry out slowly and as a result it extends the service life significantly.
During the first few days of operation, expansion cracks may form in the fire-
clay-cladding. However, this does not impair the functioning of the appliance.
CORRECT OPERATION
Correct operation, in compliance with the installation instructions and with the
operating manual as well as with the instructions regarding safety and environ-
mental protection.
Bear in mind that the appliance is not childproof (doors, etc.) and therefore it
must not be operated by children or other people who are not authorised or
trained.
If the appliance is not installed properly and if the instructions (as stated in
the technical documentation and operating manual) regarding the start-up and
operation of the appliance are not followed, all warranty claims will become
null and void.
Open the start-up flap only when heating up the stove, keep the combustion
chamber door and ash door closed at all times. Avoid overheating the stove
(e.g. red-hot steel hotplate). The warranty does not cover any resulting damage.
Only use suitable fuels by choosing environmentally sustainable, high-quality
and dry fuels (see fuels on page 17).
Only operate our central heating stoves using a return flow temperature boost
(thermal valve, motor-driven mixing valve). Faults caused by failure to follow
this instruction are excluded from the warranty cover.
CHIMNEY REQUIREMENTS FOR HEATING SYSTEMS
Before starting up the appliance for the first time, the local qualified chimney
sweep must certify the suitability and readiness for operation of new or existing
chimneys by a declaration of conformity.
The owner must ensure that the chimney is free of obstructions (no coverings
or blockages). Please point out existing faults and /or alterations in the chim-
ney and the heating system. Because of low exhaust gas temperatures when
the seasons change the chimney must be leak-free and humidity-resistant.
Make sure that flue and exhaust gas can escape freely to the outside.
REGULAR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
To ensure the functionality and efficiency of the appliance, regular maintenance
and cleaning work must be carried out on every fireplace and all the connec-
ted system components (e.g. chimney, connecting ducts, etc.). Please observe
the instructions regarding maintenance and cleaning in this operating manual.
Your chimney sweep will also be happy to clean the fireplace. Only clean and
properly adjusted appliances work efficiently.

Installing the appliance
1. Adjust stove height if necessary (optional equipment will be required!)
2. Connecting the flue pipe (if necessary connecting the heating system) requi-
res a specialist following the instructions of the operating manual.
3. Carefully place the stove right up against the wall.
4. The integrated levelling feet to compensate for an uneven floor.
Appliance height (does not apply to REGA/LHS 60)
The 4 levelling feet compensate for uneven floors and allow for height adjust-
ment to other appliances or kitchen attachments (Figure 2). To do this, use the
open-end wrench S13.
To compensate for the gap between stove base and kitchen floor resulting from
the adjustment to the height, a stainless steel panel is available as optional
equipment.
Adjust appliance height
With the 4 adjustable feet, the appliance height can be continuously adjusted
between 85 and 92 cm. First take out the fuel storage drawer, loosen the lock-
nuts and raise the appliance to the desired height by adusting the adjustable
feet and lower the adjustment panel left and right.
Tighten the locknuts again, lower the position of the base cover, close open
holes with the supplied plastic caps. (Figure 3)
Flue Connection Conversion
The series stoves are delivered with a screwed-on flue connecting piece in the
rear panel and can be directly connected to the chimney through an appropriate
connecting pipe.

Oven
The oven has 2 shelf positions and is equipped with a plain shelf and oven grid
shelf. It is fully enamelled inside and therefore easy to clean. See instructions
for this on page 16. After cleaning, the oven door should be left open a few
minutes for airing.
The oven must absolutely be preheated for baking and broiling/roasting. A brisk
fire is required to maintain an oven temperature of around 250 degrees C. Dry,
seasoned beech wood is very well suited to this purpose.
Oven Thermometer
The thermometer in the viewing glass of the oven door has a reading range of
approximately 20 – 400 degrees C. The temperature marks are approximations
for baking and broiling/roasting and can deviate slightly from case to case.
Stove Cover (Optional, not available for REGA)
The stove cover serves to cover the cooking surface when the stove is not in
use. In this case the flue connection must be connected at the rear or sides (not
at the top!).The stove cover is mounted by inserting its two hinge pins into the
hinge casings on the stove frame back.
The stove cover may not be closed while the stove is in operation!
Hot Water Insert (Optional, not available for REGA and LHS 40/50)
LHS 90 and 105 models can be equipped with a stainless steel hot water insert.
Capacity between 12 and 16 liters, depending on the stove type.
Fill up only to 4 cm below the rim (Figure 11)! This prevents water from boiling
over the edge and splashing the cooking plate, thereby causing a lot of steam.
Warning: When heating there must always be water in the hot water insert!
Firebox door with viewing window (optional, not available for
REGA)
The appliances of the series LHS can be equipped with an integrated viewing
window in the firebox door (Figure 3).
The firebox door with double glazing allows you to enjoy the beauty of real
flames and therefore heating with wood truly becomes an amazing experience.
Telescopic base
Each stove type LHS and REGA comes as a standard with a base equipped with
screw-in legs. The height of the appliance can be infinitely adjusted ranging
from 85-92 cm.
Base panel for telescopic base
For appliances type REGA a cover plate is optionally available in order to cover
the gap between floor and the permanently mounted stainless steel base.
NOTE: With appliances type LHS this panel is included as a standard.

Installing the applianceInstalling the applianceInstalling the appliance
Load-bearing capacity of the floor
Prior to installing the appliance, make sure that the substructure of the floor
is suitable for the weight of the appliance. Ensure a level and vibration-free
positioning of the appliance.
Floor pad as a protection against flying sparks
With combustible floors (timber flooring, synthetic materials, fitted carpet, etc.),
the use of a floor pad made of steel, safety glass, tiles or similar non-combus-
tible materials is strongly recommended According to fire protection laws, the
following minimum clearances from the combustion chamber opening must be
maintained: 50 cm to the front, and 30 cm each to the left and to the right.
Safety clearances
Maintain sufficient safety clearance to combustible items (wooden panelling,
furniture, curtains, etc.) around the stove. The walls in the immediate vicinity of
the stove must be fireproof over the full height of the walls and over a width of
at least 50 cm to either side and to the front beyond the fireplace (Figure 14).
The safety clearance from items to be protected (e.g. combustible walls, walls
with combustible components, tall kitchen cupboards and load-bearing walls
made of reinforced concrete) is at least 20 cm backwards and 30 cm lateral.
(Figure 15).
When installed next to combustible materials or in a fitted kitchen or next to an
electric cooker or any other appliance, a fire protection unit (fitted as standard
or as an addition) must be provided. (Figure 16)
In this case the maximum height of the adjacent fixtures is the stove height. Fix-
tures exceeding the height of the stove must be at a distance of at least 30 cm.
Overhead kitchen cabinets
For stoves with a steel cooking plate it is not permissible to install overhead
cabinets above the stove because the hotplate can be opened (cooking ope-
ning cover).
For stoves with a glass ceramic cooking surface, the distance must be at least
75 cm and there must be adequate rear ventilation of the overhead cabinets to
avoid heat being trapped.
Safety clearances flue gas pipe
When installing the flue gas pipe, adhere to the following minimum distances from
combustible building materials:
• clearance to wall 20 cm
• clearance to ceiling 40 cm.

Trouble-free and efficient operation is assured if the following conditions for an
optimum combustion are fulfilled:
 Adequate condition of the chimney: good thermal insulation, smooth inner
surface, no leakages
 Correct dimensioning of the chimney: cross section and effective height
must be calculated for the intended fuels and loads.
 Correct flue gas pipe connection: tight, no cross sectional constriction,
slightly rising towards the chimney, not projecting into the chimney.
 For shared-flue systems: maintain a minimum distance of 60 cm.
 Seal unused connection openings with cover lids.
 Keep sweeping and cleaning openings, usually located in the basement or
attic storeys, closed at all times. Check seals from time to time and renew if
necessary.
The chimney
• When installing the flue gas pipe adhere to the following minimum clearan-
ces from combustible building materials: clearance from wall 20 cm, clea-
rance from ceiling 40 cm.
• Design and condition to suit the regulations applicable at the place of ins-
tallation.
• Prior to connection, inspect for possible faults and defects.
• Effective chimney height of 5 m (from cooking plate to the chimney outlet).
If the height is less, the stove must be connected with a vertical flue gas
pipe of at least 1 m length. An effective chimney height of less than 4 m is
not advisable.
• Uniform, square or round internal cross section, insulated to prevent cooling.
• Chimneys made of pre-fabricated components are preferable.
• Assessment of the entire flue gas system according to DIN 4705 Parts 1 and
2, with shared-flue systems according to Part 3
Connection stove - chimney
The flue pipe is the connection between the stove and the chimney. When ins-
talling the flue, please note the following instructions:
• Make sure that the connecting piece can be cleaned (cleaning opening, from
the stove-side, etc.).
• The diameter of the flue pipe must not decrease towards the chimney.
• The flue pipe must not project into the chimney.
• Vertically positioned flue pipes must not exceed a length of 125 cm if they
are not insulated.
• Horizontal pipe sections must not exceed a length of 100 cm.
• The flue pipe must not descend towards the chimney, but must incline slight-
ly upward.
• The connection between the stove and the chimney must be strong and
leakproof. In particular the connection to the masonry of the chimney must
be durable and tight.
The necessary discharge pressure (“Chimney draught”)
The negative pressure prevailing in your chimney, measured in Pascal (“Pa”) is
a measure of the efficiency of your chimney. The discharge pressure required
for your stove is shown in the table “Technical data” on page 26 and on the
nameplate of the stove.
With new chimneys you can trust the details (calculations) of the manufacturer;
with older chimneys seek the advice of your chimney sweep.
• Insufficient discharge pressure would result in incomplete combustion and
consequently in increased formation of soot and tar in the stove and in the
chimney.
• Excessive discharge pressure on the other hand would accelerate combus-
tion, lead to high flue gas temperatures (causing damage to the appliance)
and greatly increase fuel consumption.

Combustion airCombustion airCombustion air
The appliance is dependent on indoor air (open-flued appliance); that means
the air required for combustion is drawn from the room where the appliance is
located. Therefore the room must be supplied with fresh air from the outside
through an air inlet. Provide an opening that is 10-15 cm in diameter in an exte-
rior wall in the room where the appliance is located. Install a protective grating
on the outside of the air inlet. In particularly exposed locations it is advisable
to provide protection against wind and rain.
If it is not possible to provide an air inlet to the outside from the room where
the appliance is located, the opening can be in an adjoining room. In this case
the adjoining room must have a permanent connection to the room where the
appliance is installed via a ventilation grid. If there are additional heating ap-
pliances in the same room, make sure that the air inlets can supply sufficient
air for combustion for the operation of all appliances.
As part of the final approval the local qualified chimney sweep must check the entire
system for an adequate supply of combustion air.

Our LHS stoves can be equipped with a through-wall heating shaft on request.
The through-wall heating shaft is always located at the rear of the fire-box, the
flue connection can be at the back of the fire-box, at the side or at the top
and is to be coordinated with the flue connection of the tile stove. (Figure 18).
When connecting the through-wall heating and during operation, there are also
a few points deviating from the standard stove, which must be observed.
Removing the ashes from the grate takes place manually by using the included
grate-riddling hook!

The stove type LHS-Z is equipped with a central heating element (nominal heat
output 5 kW) and can be heated with wood. The technical specifications devia-
ting from the standard stove are summarised in the table below.
When connecting the central heating element and during operation, there are
also a few points deviating from the standard stove, which must be observed.
Removing the ashes from the grate takes place manually by using the included
grate-riddling hook!
Heating installation /connection
The boiler is suitable and approved as a heat generator for warm water hea-
ting installations with a flow temperature up to 95C° and a permissible excess
operating pressure of 3 bar. The following standards are to be observed when
installing the stove:
Open units: ÖNORM B 8130 or DIN 4751 part 1
Closed units: ÖNORM B 8131 or DIN 4751 part 2
Further points to be observed:
ÖÖHeating room guidelines, ÖÖNational building regulations, ÖÖLocal building
regulations, ÖÖCommercial and fire police regulations, ÖÖEnvironmental pro-
tection regulations, ÖÖRegulations of the local electric utility company.
A trial heating must be carried out after completion of the connecting work,
during which all control and security instruments are to be adjusted and che-
cked for proper functioning. The assembly, installation, finetuning and initial
operation with the trial run must becarried out according
Return By-Pass Temperature Valve
Too low operating temperatures, i.e. flow and return temperatures that are too
low, have a significant detrimental influence on the life of the heating furnace.
When the water dew point is not attained, condensation water, with more or
less aggressive chemical components that accelerate corrosion, forms on the
surface of the heating furnace. Therefore care must be taken that the return
temperature of the heating furnace does not drop below 60 °C during conti-
nuous running.
Temperatures falling below the dew point primarily occurs in low-temperature
heating installations (return temperatures down to below 25 °C), in installations
without a mixer, in the case of extreme light load operation during changes
in season and in constant light load operation caused by a furnaces that is
dimensioned too large.
Connecting the Thermal Safety Valve
The heat exchanger serves to protect the furnace from overheating during a
pump standstill and may not be used for preparing water for domestic use!
The safety mechanisms must still be accessible after the installation. The drain/
outlet must be visible for checking the proper functioning of the thermal safety
valve, therefore use the runoff funnel! (Figure 26)
A function check of the thermal safety valve must be carried out at least once a
year. To do this, the red cap must be pressed against the valve and water must
flow into the runoff funnel. Should the thermal safety valve drip, then the seal
and valve seat must be cleaned. The calcification status of the safety devices
must also be checked at least once a year.
Expansion tank
If the boiler hot-water circuit is not directly connected to a heating circuit with
integrated expansion tank, or if it can be disconnected from this circuit, a
separate expansion tank (type-approved) is required. The installation and the
calculation of the dimensions of the expansion tank must comply with DIN
EN12828 and DIN EN13831. The expansion tank must be installed in rooms that
are protected from frost. For further details (e.g. maximum operating tempera-
ture, etc.) refer to the information given by the manufacturer.
Safety valve
To prevent excess pressure, a pressure-relief safety valve must be installed. The
open end of the blow-off pipe must be visible, therefore use a drain funnel.

Operating the stoveOperating the stoveOperating the stove
Equipment included
To ensure a safe operation of the appliance, a protective glove and a multi-
purpose wrench are included in the delivery.
Start-up flap
The knob located above the oven door operates the damper. Pulling out the
knob = damper opens, pushing in the knob = damper closes. (Figure 28)
The damper may only be open during the heating-up phase. Overheating results
from the damper being left open during the heating operation and can damage
stove parts. In addition, an open damper leads to increased fuel consumption.
Air control
The LHS appliance is fitted with an automatic output controller. This device
serves to “restrict” the supply of combustion air; but this has only a limited
effect on the output. It is definitely not suitable for compensating an excess of
fuel. A certain amount of fuel requires a certain amount of oxygen for optimum
combustion. If the wood is supplied with less air than is required for clean and
efficient combustion, less energy is generated in the appliance (protecting the
appliance to a great extent from overheating) – the unused “wood gas”, howe-
ver, escapes through the flue.
The result: low efficiency and high environmental load.
Remedy: load the stove only up to the recommended fuel level.
Primary air control
The supply of the primary air required for combustion is controlled with the
rotary knob below the firebox door (Figure 21). This determines the rate of
burning and therefore the heat output of the stove.
In position “0” the controller is closed, no combustion air is supplied. In posi-
tion “1” minimum air supply is provided; select this position for slow-burning
operation. Turning the rotary knob to position “6” means maximum air supply,
necessary especially during the heating-up phase.
Air settings see Table page 18.
Secondary air control
The supply of secondary air (combustion air flowing over the fuel from the top) produces
combustion that matches the fuel being used and keeps down the pollutant emissions.
Part of the secondary air flows along the viewing window and acts as glass flushing air
(air wash system) and therefore allows you to enjoy the interplay of the flames.
The secondary air is controlled by the secondary air slider below the firebox door (Figure
29). Moving the slider towards setting 0 (towards the oven), reduces the incoming secon-
dary air flow; moving it towards setting 1 increases it.
For “Air settings / Amount of fuel to be added” see page 18.
Grate riddling (LHS 60-105)
The grate riddling is activated by the button over the firebox door. This ideally
takes place before fuel is put in. The ash pan should be emptied regularly; the
grate should be cleaned thoroughly 1 –2 times a week (Figure 31).
Ash door protection
A latch, ensuring that the ash door can only be opened together with the hea-
ting door, is provided on the ash door inside. This serves to prevent inadvertent
overheating of the stove (Figure 32).

Prerequisites for efficient combustion
• Sufficient amount of combustible material
• Oxidising agent, mostly oxygen
• Enough heat to reach the ignition temperature or to maintain the minimum
temperature required for combustion
• The correct proportion of the combustible material to ambient air or to the
reactive gas
The combustion process
The combustion process takes place in three stages:
1. DRYING STAGE
In this stage all the moisture still in the wood is evaporated. This occurs at
temperatures of approx. 100 °C. During pre-ignition, the wood must be supplied
with heat (using small pieces of firewood). When it dries, the firewood shrinks
until cracks are formed which accelerate the drying process.
2. DEGASIFICATION STAGE
After the drying process, with temperatures rising from 100 to approx. 300 °C,
the degasification of the wood starts. High-energy, combustible gases, consis-
ting of various chemical components, are released (hydrocarbons). The burn-off
of these volatile components, which account for about 80 % of the wood, is
recognisable from the long yellow flames that shoot up from the wood. The real
combustion process begins with the ignition of the gases that are produced at
about 225 °C (ignition temperature) and with the release of heat. For this to
happen, enough oxygen must also be supplied. The final stage of the combus-
tion is reached at about 300 °C. Now the greatest amount of heat is released,
with flame temperatures of up to 1100 °C.
3. BURN-OUT STAGE
After the volatile components have been burnt-off, the charcoal begins to burn
and is degasified at temperatures of about 500 to 800 °C without forming soot.
This process can be recognised by the short, translucent small flames. All three
stages can occur at the same time from the inside to the outside of a piece of
wood.
Clean combustion
The first prerequisite for keeping pollutant emissions as low as possible is that
only dry wood is used.
The heating-up phase, which produces significant quantities of decomposition
products, must be completed as fast as possible by using small pieces of kind-
ling wood in order to reach the high temperatures quickly.
Reducing the air supply during the degasification stage has a detrimental effect
as the wood degasification continues even without further supply of air and
without flames (smouldering). As a result large amounts of the substance of the
wood can be expelled without generating heat and are released into the envi-
ronment without having been being burnt-off or deposits such as tar and soot
are formed on the walls of the combustion chamber and in the flue gas pipes.
Even during the burn-off phase the air supply must not be restricted completely
as this would create the hazard of carbon monoxide fumes.
When continuing the heating process, make sure that not too much wood is
added. The amount of wood should always match the heat requirements.
JET|FIRE-Flame Convergence Plate
The JET|FIRE Flame convergence plate, which serves as a cover for the combusti-
on chamber (Figure 33), in conjunction with the pre-heated secondary air supply
through the firebox door, results in a higher combustion temperature and thus in a
less polluting and more effective combustion.
The flame convergence plate, like the stove itself, should be cleaned of com-
bustion residues from time to time. Make sure that the flame convergence plate
is replaced in the correct position.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
In the combustion chamber, the combustion gases are vigorously mixed with
the incoming hot secondary air.
The concentrated flame manipulation (flame convergence) leads to high tem-
peratures in the combustion chamber (“hot combustion chamber”, resulting in
significantly lower emission levels – CO emissions are reduced by 90 per cent!).
As a consequence, the heating-up phase is shorter, refuelling intervals are ex-
tended and maximum fuel efficiency can be achieved (an energy yield of 84 per
cent helps you cut down the costs for heating).

Suitable fuels
FIREWOOD (LOGS)
Billet wood should have a maximum water content of approximately 30 % of
the dried weight, be approximately 1/3 m long and be chopped small. In this
way the billets are ignited rapidly, producing a better heat output than larger
wood billets for the same amount of wood. Undercover in the open, fir, pine or
alder wood should be stored a good 2 years, hard wood even 3 years.
The significance of the water content of wood on the calorific value is shown
in Table 1
Unsuitable fuels
Moist wood, bark waste, sawdust, fine wood chips. Brushwood, wood wool,
wood chips. Use only very small amounts of paper for lighting.
Burning such fuels generates high levels of pollutant emission, a lot of ash
while the calorific value is very low.
Prohibited fuels
Surface-treated wood (veneered, painted, impregnated, etc.), chipboard wood,
all types of waste (packaging waste), plastics, newspapers, rubber, leather,
textiles, etc. Burning such materials will greatly pollute the environment and is
prohibited by the legislator.
It can also damage the stove and chimney.

After completion of the assembly and connecting work and prior to the first
start-up, a few actions are still required:
• Steel cooking plate: ensure a 2 mm gap all round the stove frame to prevent
a discoloration of the stainless stove frame when heating!
• Open heating and ash door, pull out ash drawer and remove all-purpose
wrench.
• Wipe off the corrosion protection applied to the steel cooking plate (see Page
19)
• To ensure an optimum combustion process, oxygen-rich air is essential.
Therefore provide the room with good ventilation prior to heating.
• With stoves featuring a central heating insert, make sure that the heating
appliance is ready for use before each start-up (water level, water pressure,
temperature, controls, safety devices, etc.).
After you have familiarised yourself with the operating procedures for the stove,
the first start-up can begin.
Initial heating
• Open the start-up flap, turn the knob for the primary air to position 6 and
fully open the slider for the secondary air.
• Open the firebox door
• Put 2 small pieces of firewood onto the grate
• Stack 2 wood billets on top. Put some wood wool on top, ignite it and sub-
sequently place a medium-sized wood billet on top..
• Close heating door and allow wood to develop a lively fire.

Adding Fuel
After the initial heating phase, add more fuel as per Table (see air settings).
• Turn primary air supply to position 1.
• Adjust secondary air supply for the required heat output.
When adding fuel we recommend:
• Short intervals (every 30-50 minutes)
• 2-3 small pieces of firewood (approx. 1-2 kg)
Air supply settings
Table 2 shows the recommended settings for the air supply (after the operating
temperature has been reached). The indicated values for the settings are appro-
ximate values. The setting of the air slider that suits the heating requirements
of the room is established by experimenting.
See Table 3 to learn more about the recommended amount of firewood to be
added and burning times.
Heating
When only embers are left on the grate, new fuel should be added evenly ove
the whole grate. To do so, spread the embers evenly over the grate and then
more fuel can be placed on top.
Fuel filling level
Please note that your stove should only be filled up to the secondary air vents
at the side walls and the rear wall of the combustion chamber and not above
the air vents of the upright grate behind the combustion chamber door, as this
would obstruct the air flow in the combustion chamber. On stoves with viewing
windows this will result in soot deposits and darkening of the glass (ceramifi-
cation, not covered by warranty). In any case, this will lead to incomplete and
inefficient combustion and subsequently to low efficiency with all appliances.
Cooking
Cooking is best done on a hot but not red-hot stove plate. Overheating means
wasting of fuel. The highest stove plate temperature is present in the heating
area (above the JET|FIRE flame concentration plate), this area is therefore ide-
ally suited for rapid initial cooking.
The edge zones with lower temperatures can be used for slow cooking or kee-
ping warm. You are best advised to use pots with thick, level base and fitting
lid.
Baking and Roasting
For baking and roasting, evenly distributed heat is needed. To achieve this
evenness and a high enough temperature, the oven must be preheated to the
temperature that suits the food to be baked, with the start-up flap closed.
When the oven has reached the required temperature put the items to be baked
inside. However, do not let the fire burn too fiercely; only add fuel in small
quantities. The desired temperature in the oven can be achieved by adjusting
the supply of the combustion air (secondary and primary air regulator). Place
high cake tins on the rack in the bottom groove. Cakes in tins can be baked
at a moderate heat (180 – 200º). A baking tray with flat cakes or biscuits can
be put in using either of the grooves. In this case increasing the heat to 200
- 220º is recommended. For roasting much higher temperatures are needed,
preheating is essential.
Heating in between seasons
When outdoor temperatures are above 15 °C, it may occur that due to low
chimney draught the fire does not burn very well. This will result in an increa-
sed build-up of soot in the flue passages of the appliance and in the chimney.
To reduce the build-up of soot when heatingTo reduce the build-up of soot when heatingTo reduce the build-up of soot when heating

Maintenance and CleaningMaintenance and CleaningMaintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance and care or cleaning of the appliance, the flue gas ducts,
the connecting piece and the chimney are particularly important for the opera-
tional safety, efficiency and maintaining the value of the appliance.
A thorough cleaning should be performed after each heating period and after
a long period of non-use (see Important instructions, page 4). When used
frequently
or when using poor-quality fuels, correspondingly more often.
• Remove cooking plate and clean it, in particular the underside. With glass
ceramic hobs, clean the bottom with a hand brush, and for steel cooking
plates use a wire brush.
• Remove the grate and brush it. Clear out clogged grate slits.
• Remove and sweep flue gas pipe(s).
• Clean combustion chamber walls and flue gas ducts with the ash shovel.
• Brush start-up flap and fixture and check that it operates correctly.
• Remove ash pan and empty it. Sweep the ash pan enclosure.
• Use the ash shovel to clean the flue gas ducts accessible after removing the
cleaning cover.
• Check the sealing cords of the cooking plate and of the cleaning cover; re-
place them if required.
• Clear the secondary air vents of the protective plate of the firebox door using
a wire brush.
• When cleaning chrome, anodised or enamel surfaces, use only gentle (non-
alkaline) cleaning agents and no abrasive cleaning tools. The same applies
to cleaning the oven.
• When reinstalling the various appliance components (flue gas pipe, cooking
plate, grate, cleaning cover, ash pan) ensure they are correctly positioned and
function as required and / or that there are no leaks.
• When positioning the cooking plate, make sure there is a 2 mm wide gap to
the stove frame all round.
Cleaning opening (only LHS 60-105)
The cleaning door panel is secured by a ball catch and swivels open (Figure
35). The cleaning cover behind it is attached to the stove front with 2 wing
nuts and should be removed to clean the flue gas ducts. Before replacing the
cover, check the rope seal of the cleaning cover for tightness and replace it if
necessary.
Using a vacuum cleaner
Das Gerät völlig auskühlen lassen und Staubsauger nur mit einer » Ash Box «
Allow the appliance to cool down completely and only use a vacuum cleaner
with an “Ash Box” accessory – FIRE HAZARD.
Cleaning the connecting piece
Take out the cooking plate and clean the exhaust gas pipe connection and the
connecting piece with a suitable brush or use the vacuum cleaner (only with an
“Ash Box” accessory – fire hazard). Provide cleaning openings for long connec-
ting pieces and angled pieces.
Grate
The ash is quite easily removed from the grate using the grate shaker. However
if the air slits are severely clogged by slag, crusts or other combustion residue,
completely remove the grate and clean. To do so, open the heating door and
pull the grate through the heating door. (Figure 36).
After cleaning, slide the grate through the heating door against the rear re-
fractory brick, lower at the back and push back against the stop once more.
Operate grate shaker.
Ash pan
Empty the ash pan at regular intervals and early enough. The pile of ash must
not obstruct the primary air vents in the grate.
