The owner of small firing systems or the person authorised for the
small firing system is to keep the technical documentation and is to
submit it to the authorities or the chimney sweep on request.
Note
Please observe the national and European standards as well as
local regulations concerning the installation and operation of
firing installations!
Packaging
Your first impression is important to us!
The packaging of your new stove provides excellent protection
against damage. However damage to the stove and accessories
may still occur during transport.
Note
Therefore please check your stove on receipt for damage and
completeness! Report any deficiencies to your dealer immediately!
Pay particular attention during unpacking that the stone panels
remain intact. Scratches to the material can easily occur. Stone
panels are excluded from the warrant.
The packaging of your new stove is environmentally neutral to a
great extent.
Tip
The wood used in the packaging has not been surface treated.
The cardboard and film (PE) can be disposed of via the municipal
waste collection for recycling.
Electrical connection
The stove is supplied with an approx. 2m long connecting cable with
a Euro-plug. This cable is to be connected to a 230Volt/50Hz socket.
The average electrical power consumption is some 20 Watt in
heating operation. And approx. 150 Watt during automatic ignition.
The connection cable must be laid so that there is no contact to any
sharp edges or hot surfaces of the stove.

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General warning and safety information
Observance of the introductory general warning information is
imperative.
QRead the entire manual thoroughly before installing and putting
the stove into service. Observe the national provisions and laws
as well as the regulations and rules applicable locally.
QRIKA stoves should only be installed in rooms with normal humidity
(dry areas according to VDE 0100 Part 200). The furnaces are not
splash water protected and may not be installed in wet areas.
QOnly approved transport equipment with sufficient load carrying
capacity may be used with your heating appliance.
QYour heating appliance is not suitable for use as a ladder or
stationary scaffolding.
QThe burning of fuel releases heat energy that lead to extensive
heating of the stove surfaces, doors, door and operating handles,
glass, flue pipes and possibly the front wall. Refrain from touching
these parts without appropriate protective clothing or equipment
e.g. heat-resistant gloves or means of operation (operating
handle).
QMake your children aware of this particular danger and keep
them away from the stove during heating.
QOnly burn approved heating materials.
QThe combustion or introduction of highly flammable or explosive
materials such as empty spray cans etc. in the combustion
chamber and storing them near the stove is strictly prohibited
due to the danger of explosion.
QNo light or inflammable clothing is to be worn when post-heating.
QUse the heat-resistant gloves supplied to open the doors of your
stove.
QMake sure that no embers fall out of the combustion chamber
onto inflammable material.
QPlacing non-heat resistant objects on the stove or near it is
prohibited.
QDo not place clothing on the stove to dry.
QLaundry racks etc. must be placed at a sufficient distance to the
stove – ACUTE DANGER OF FIRE!
QWhen your stove is burning, the use of highly inflammable and
explosive materials in the same or adjacent rooms is prohibited.
QIf the stove is heated in continuous operation, the cleaning
intervals are shorter. Increased wear, especially of the thermally
stressed parts, is the result. Please therefore strictly follow the
requirements for cleaning and maintenance!
Note
Waste and liquids may not be burnt in the stove!
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components,
do never cover the convection fins!
Note
CAUTION when filling the pellet container. The opening of the pellet
container is sufficiently dimensioned to ensure easy filling. Take
great care that no pellets drop to the convection fins and the hot
stove body. This can cause a lot of smoke.
Tip
Therefore we recommend refilling the pellet container at a cold
stove.
Note
Your stove will expand and contract during the heating and cooling
phase. This can sometimes lead to slight bending or cracking
noises. This is normal and is no reason for a complaint.
First heating
The stove body, just as various steel parts, cast iron parts and the
flue pipes are painted with a heat resistant paint. During the first
heating the paint dries out completely. This may cause a slight smell.
Touching or cleaning the painted surfaces during the curing should
be avoided. The hardening of the paint is finished after the first
heating with high power.
Safety distances
Note
1. To non-combustible objects
a > 40 cm b > 10 cm
2. To combustible objects and reinforced concrete load-bearing
walls
a > 80 cm b > 20 cm
Tip
please observe a minimum distance of 20 cm behind and sideways
the stove for maintenance.
