1 INTRODUCTION
Dear user,
By purchasing this SAEY insert stove you have chosen an innovative heating installation.
Congratulations!
We pay careful attention not just to the technology, but also to the materials, the manufacturing
process and sealing. That is why we can guarantee you problem-free operation.
The Saey insert was built using innovative techniques and meets European standard EN 13229.
If you want the stove's performance to be as clean and green as possible, then you need to read
and follow the instructions in this installation and operating manual with care.
Any damage to the insert resulting from a failure to follow the instructions in the installation and
operating manual will invalidate the guarantee.
Do you need additional information or technical data? An installation problem? Contact your dealer
first.
2 GENERAL WARNINGS AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The general warnings and instructions must be followed closely.
- Read the whole manual carefully before putting the stove into use.
- Your insert may only be carried using approved means of transport with adequate load
bearing capacity,
- When fuel is burning heat is released, so the doors, the door handles and the flues may
become very hot. These parts must therefore not be touched without suitable heat-resistant
gloves or the operating handle
- Tell your children about this danger and make sure that they stay a safe distance away
whenever the insert is used
- Drying racks for clothes, etc. must be placed a safe distance away from the heating
installation –fire risk!
- No inflammable or explosive materials must be used in the same or adjacent spaces,
- The insert is not designed as an all-purpose incinerator. Use only suitable fuel
- The insert must not be altered or modified in any way
- Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer

3 GUARANTEE
Your Saey appliance is guaranteed for 6 years on the fix parts and 2 years on the replaceable
parts. This guarantee covers any manufacturing fault, starting from the date of purchase, on
condition that it is used in compliance with the user manual. Your till receipt or an invoice stating
the date of purchase is your proof of guarantee.
This guarantee is limited to the repair or replacement of components which prove faulty in normal
use.
This guarantee is not valid for faults resulting from incorrect installation, misuse, alterations to the
appliance, the disassembly of the appliance, wear and tear or inadequate maintenance.
Requests for work or replacement under guarantee must always be made via your sales point.
4 PACKAGING
Your first impressions are important to us! The packaging of your new stove offers exceptional
protection against damage. However the stove and its accessories can still be damaged in transit.
So please check the stove for damage and missing components when you take delivery of it. Notify
your supplier immediately of any missing components and also on the CMR document.
The packaging for your stove is harmless for the environment. The cardboard and the plastic foil
can be returned to the local waste facility for recycling.
5 INSTALLING THE STOVE
All local regulations, including national and European standards must be followed when the
appliance is installed.
Only an appliance connected by a recognised installer guarantees compliance with legislation on
construction and fire prevention. This is certainly required for safe and proper use of the stove.
5.1 Montage kader ( enkel voor Vitro reeks )
Insert and frames are delivered separately for the FENIX range. Because the frame is part of the
insert, it is better to mount it in advance. ( with the normal Fenix range the frame is an option and is
not a part of the stove ).
The frame ( 4 mm, 3-sided or 4-sided ) is to be slided over the front of the insert and to be fixed
with the 4 included hexagonal bolts ( M8 ).

5.2 The chimney
Before a stove is connected to a chimney, the size and quality of the chimney must be checked to
ensure that they meet locally applicable regulations. The measurements may need to be
calculated.
The chimney must be cleaned yearly. This cleaning must take place in compliance with applicable
local legislation.
Chimney tips
The stove can be connected directly to the chimney.
The diameter of the outlet pipe must match the
diameter of the connector pipe on the fireplace.
We can guarantee that the appliance will work well if
there is a hearth draught of between 12 and 20 Pa.
The hearth draught can only be determined when the
appliance is lit! If the chimney draws too strongly, then
a damper must be incorporated.
If it draws too little, then the following measures should
be considered:
Extending the chimney
Improving the insulation of the chimney (less
cooling of the flue gases)
Improving the flow of air into the space in
which the stove is installed.
Improving the air tightness of the chimney.
Many problems with stoves are caused by badly working chimneys. Therefore we offer the
following tips. These are for information only and are not binding on us. There are just too many
unknown factors affecting how well the appliance-chimney combination works. If in doubt, you
should contact a specialist. Chimneys that have worked perfectly well with an old stove can give
problems with a new one. The stoves of 30 years ago had much lower performance than the
present generation of stoves which burn a lot cleaner and also have higher requirements as
regards the chimney.
Tips: A round channel is preferable (to minimise friction)
The diameter of the chimney must not be smaller at any point than that of the appliance
(except in very long chimneys where a narrower section should sometimes be included).
The mouth of the chimney should be unobstructed.
The chimney should be as close as possible to vertical with as few curves as possible.
The chimney must not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers and cleaning hatches
in the cellar or on the roof!
For the chimney opening, you will need to comply with your national legislation. For
Belgium this is NBN 61-001. Here are a few rules from this standard that cover chimney
openings:

SAEY FENIX/SAEY FENIXVITRO
810.6011.000 / 02 59
English
Zone 1 :
A chimney opening
is automatically
permitted
(preferably without
a static cowl)
Zone 2 :
A chimney opening is only permitted if the
appliance(s) is /are fitted with an
atmospheric burner and if a static cowl is
fitted to the top of the chimney..
Zone 3 :
A chimney opening
is not permitted
under any
circumstances.
For details on chimneys we refer you to the relevant regulations with which the chimney needs to
comply. Because of the highly technical nature of these regulations, they are primarily aimed at
professional installers/chimney specialists.

English
What must I do in the event of a chimney fire?
We recommend that you take the following steps in the event of a chimney fire
1. Close off the air supply.
2. Call the fire brigade.
3. Clear access routes to the cleaning openings (e.g. cellar and attic).
4. Move all inflammable objects away from the chimney.
5. When the stove is put back into service, the chimney and the stove should be checked over
by a specialist.
6. This specialist should also investigate the cause of the chimney fire after and take any
corrective measures.
Note: If you let the stove burn for 10 minutes each day at maximum power, this allows
combustion products to be burnt off. This reduces the risk of any chimney fire and also
helps keep the window.
5.3 Connection of the insert to the chimney
The insert can be connected directly to the chimney. The diameter of the flue should be of the
same diameter as the connection-part of the insert.
If the chimney-flue is too large ( > 20 Pa ) it is necessary to install a damper.
When using cement inside or outside the chimney wait 7 days before using the stove, to allow the
cement to dry out and prevent cracking during the drying process.
The stove may smoke a little on first use. This is not combustion gas but simply the smell of the
heat-resistant coating as it dries out and bakes on. It is not toxic but we recommend that you
ventilate the room thoroughly (for approx. 20 min.). Please do not touch the coating during this
time.
All local regulations, including national and European standards, must be followed when installing
the appliance.
Only an appliance connected by an accredited installer guarantees compliance with the
architectural and fire prevention regulations. These rules must be followed to ensure the correct
and safe operation of the stove.
The chimney plays a very important part in connecting up the stove. Please always consult
authorised specialists about the connection to ensure that your regional building regulations are
met.
Please note the following:
The appliance should only be used when the door is closed. The doors of the stove
should also be kept closed when the appliance is not in use.
There must be an adequate supply of fresh air when the appliance is in use.
Fire safety measures for flammable and heat-sensitive coverings and casings:

SAEY FENIX/SAEY FENIXVITRO
810.6011.000 / 02 61
English
The flooring beneath and around the stove must be fire-resistant and non-flammable
(e.g. marble, tile, specific heat-resistant insulation, etc.). It must also be sufficiently
thick.
Do not store any flammable or heat-sensitive items near the appliance (e.g. stocks of
firewood).
Please note the following regarding the diameter of the outlet pipe:
The diameter of the outlet pipe must not be reduced. Also, the outlet pipe must fit the
chimney perfectly.
If the chimney draws too strongly, then a damper must be incorporated.
The stovepipe must not be smaller than the diameter of the chimney; this prevents the
upwards pressure of the flue gases.
The chimney must not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers and cleaning
hatches in the cellar or on the roof!
The outlet pipe must be securely attached to the connector pipe.
Safety distances to flammable and/or heat-sensitive items from the table of technical
specifications must be observed.

SAEY FENIX/SAEY FENIXVITRO
810.6011.000 / 02 62
English
5.4 Combustion air
Unlike an ordinary insert, a SAEY stove uses very little combustion air. In most homes the air flow
through the gaps and chinks in doors and windows is enough. Nevertheless, in some highly
insulated homes the air flow may be insufficient. In this case, a ventilation grill must be placed in
the outer wall as close as possible to the appliance.
Under no circumstances should air be drawn from rooms or cellars containing volatile or
flammable substances.
The Saey insert can only be used when the stove door is closed. For the amount of used air, see
table in point 12.
Consideration must be given to any other hearths or air extraction installations in the same space
or that share the same combustion air connection, which can compromise the operation of the
insert. The grille that provides incoming air must not be blocked.
If necessary the combustion air connection must be calculated or a separate combustion air supply
system must be installed outside.
If there is still a backdraught of flue gases 15 minutes after lighting because of the weather
conditions (strong wind or fog, for example) the fire should be extinguished until the weather
improves.
Tip: Consideration must also be given to cooker hoods which may be connected to the
space in which the stove is installed. They cause under pressure, which can lead to a
malfunction in the combustion air supply. The combustion gas which results can damage
residents' health and even cause.
Combustion air supply
Traditional system: combustion air is drawn in through the vent low down, under the plate which
also covers the switch for the fan.
5.5 Clearance to be respected around the stove
Safety distance to inflammable or temperature-sensitive items:
Within the line of sight of the glass: at least 80 cm
Floor protection in front:: at least 50 cm

6 USE
6.1 First use
It is important to use your stove in the same way you warm up a car: GRADUALLY and with
GREAT CARE! For the first few days operating the stove you should use 1 to 2 kg wood. A low
flame and gentle heat allow the steel to ease off and dissipate cast iron, as well as ensuring that
the installation as a whole can dry out properly. Even after the appliance has been in use for some
time you should still avoid heating too intensely or too long.
The slight gain in heat is not worth the risk of damaging your stove.
When the stove is used for the first time it must first be completely dried. Warm it for around an
hour with a small quantity of fuel.
During this phase a few unpleasant odours may be released as the undercoat used dries out. If
necessary open a window or door.
Stay by the appliance during this phase and remove any condensation immediately before it has
the chance to break through the paint.
6.2 General use
Take care of the following:
The appliance may only be used when the fire door is closed. The doors of the stove must also
be closed when the appliance is not in use.
Take account of the power of the stove when loading wood. E.g. for a power of 8 kW you need
± 2.5 kg of wood per hour.
6.3 Combustion principle
This stove was developed for semi-slow burning. Loaded fully with wood and operating on a slow
burn the stove will burn through the night with sufficient embers left over the next day to relight the
fire.
It is also possible to set the stove to a very slow burn (no flames).
We do not recommend this for the following reasons:
a) it causes insufficient burning which pollutes the air extremely heavily and unnecessarily
b) this inadequate burning gives rise to extra smoke which deposits tar on the sides of the stove,
the flue and the window when condensing. An accumulation of tar is not only unsightly but
requires regular cleaning of the flue to prevent a chimney fire.
If you are burning damp or green wood the combustion air regulator must be sufficiently open to
obtain a good flame (see next page).

SAEY FENIX/SAEY FENIXVITRO
810.6011.000 / 02 64
English
6.4 Heat emission
the stove gives off two types of heat :
Heat emission by radiance.
Heat radiates in a straight line from a hot surface. Besides the fire, the main sources of heat
radiation are the hot ashes and the vermiculite sides covering the stove. This radiation is sent
out into the room via the window and heats the immediate environment of the stove.
Heat emission by convection.
Heat convection occurs when air in contact with a hot surface rises.
Cold air enters the stove via the air inlet (A). This air passes over the bottom of the stove, then
via the back to the ceiling of the combustion chamber before exiting via the hot air outlet (B).
This convection heat reaches every corner of the room. The flow of air is increased by means of
a tangential ventilator at the back, placed in the airflow.
6.5 Caution! Children.
A stove gets hot! Especially the glass.
Do not light the stove until you are certain that there are no
children playing nearby.
Fire safety measures cannot prevent every accident.
Warn children that the appliance is hot and make sure they
keep safely away from it.
KEEP SMALL CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE STOVE !

7.3 Combustion air regulator
This controls the amount of air needed for combustion and therefore the heat produced.
It is located on the top right-hand side of the door (see figs 1 and
2).
Open: slide to the right
Close: slide to the left
The greater the supply, the more air is allowed into the stove, the
more heat the stove produces, and the more wood is consumed.
The more the supply of air is restricted, the less heat the stove
produces, and the less wood the stove consumes.
The regulator is at the top of the door, to create an "air-wash"
system over the entire surface of the window. This helps keep the
window cleaner for longer.
Fig. 4
7.4 Ventilator control switch
The switch has 3 positions:
I ON Thermostatic regulation: the ventilator switches on and off automatically,
depending on the temperature of the insert stove (low ventilator speed).
0 OFF
II ON Manual (high ventilator speed)
When the insert stove is heated from a cold condition, switch the ventilator to the manual ON
position « || » (high ventilator speed) to heat the room as quickly as possible and send the
combustion air to the insert stove. Once a good flame is achieved or the room reaches the desired
temperature, switch to the thermostatic regulation ON position « | » (low ventilator speed). This will
switch the ventilator on or off depending on the temperature of the ventilators and the insert stove.
If you want to switch the ventilators off completely, then switch to the OFF position « 0 ».
REMARK: THE THERMOSTAT IS A MEANS OF TEMPERATURE CONTROL ON THE
VENTILATOR AND NOT A ROOM TEMPERATURE CONTROL.
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: NEVER INTERRUPT THE SUPPLY OF ELECTRICITY TO
THE VENTILATOR
7.5 Bottom air inlet damper (FENIX range)
This valve is designed to allow better access to the ventilator control switch. However, by leaving
the valve open at an angle of about 45° it is possible to improve the airflow, so that the ventilator
works at a lower temperature.

8 FUEL
Type of fuel: Wood
Which firewood should I choose?
There are various types of firewood which each have their own power and way of burning.
Preference should be given to hardwood such as oak, beech, ash, hornbeam and wood from fruit
trees. These types of wood burn well and form a bed of coals that stays glowing for a long time.
THE WOOD MUST BE DRY !(only dry wood avoids the emission of harmful substances while
burning)
Damp wood gives off a much less heat, because a lot of energy is used up to evaporate the
moisture from the wood. It also causes soiling of the stove, window and chimney.
Dry wood means clean pieces wood with a humidity ratio of no more than 20% compared to the
weight of dried wood. So choose well-cut wood that has been able to dry out for two years and
store it in a protected but well-ventilated spot.
TIP: How to recognise dry wood? Dry wood weighs significantly less and makes a brighter
noise if you bang two blocks against each other.
Use finely chopped wood (splinters) to light the stove!
Watch out:
Do not cut the firewood too small. Very thin wood burns only for a very short time only and is only
suitable for lighting the stove. Let large pieces, generally about 25 to 30 cm long burn naturally.
round short wood must be chopped small.
Also take account of the power of your stove. If your stove has a power of 8 kW than ± 2 kg dry
wood per hour is enough.
Things not to use ...
Rubbish, wood chips, shavings and sawdust, bark and waste from chipboard, plywood and wood
with a treated surface must not be used. They cause soiling of the hearth and the chimney and can
emit poisonous fumes.
WARNING! The stove is not a waste-disposal unit. Environmental law expressly prohibits burning
waste in domestic fireplaces. Anyone misusing their solid-fuel stove to burn domestic waste,
chemically-treated wood remnants, old paper or as a private waste-disposal unit is not only
damaging the environment, but also in breach of emissions law and may be liable to prosecution.
The appliance is not suitable for burning liquid fuels.
As well as serious uncontrolled air pollution, the harmful combustion products and residue also
have a negative influence on the functioning and lifespan of the stove and the chimney. This may
result in multiple faults and rapid wear requiring expensive cleaning or even replacement of the
stove.
Burning unsuitable fuels can also give rise to house fires which would not be covered by fire
insurance.

9 Heating
9.1 Lighting
"TOP-DOWN" BURNING
The highest output is achieved by means of "top-down" burning. To achieve this, do not fill
the stove in the traditional way.
- Traditional way: what is meant here is laying down paper first, then kindling and finally large
logs. With this method the load is, however, limited when lighting the fire.
- "TOP-DOWN" burning: this is done by loading the large logs first, then the smaller pieces, and
the paper on top.
In this case combustion takes place from the top down and is known as "TOP-DOWN" burning.
After lighting the insert, be sure to close the fire door.
Watch out: If there is still a backdraught of flue gases 15 minutes after lighting because of the
weather conditions (strong wind or fog, for example) the fire should be extinguished until the
weather improves.
9.2 Cold start
1. Open the combustion air inlet fully (C).
2. Open the door.
3. Place the large logs carefully on the bottom.
4. Cover it with smaller logs, and on top of this lay firelighters or paper and finally kindling.
5. Set the ventilator to position 1.
6. Light the fire and close the door.
7. Leave the combustion air inlet fully open until the wood is burning and the ashes glow.
8. Choose an appropriate burning regime and pick a setting.
9.3 Reloading
1. Open the air inlet fully (C)
2. Open the door carefully.
3. Use the poker to spread the glowing logs over the bottom.
4. Place new logs on the embers.
5. Close the door and allow the fire to resume.
6. Select a setting.
PLEASE NOTE! It is recommendable to load no higher than the vermiculite walls, or to load
no more wood than the normal quantity given in table 2.
.

9.4 Stoken met brandhout
For the appliance to reach the desired temperature quickly without too many undesirable
emissions, after lighting you should follow the following heating procedure:
Put 2 or 3 ‘not too big’ blocks in the insert, on top of this you place some kindling and little pieces of
wood, together with a few firelighter. Open the air inlet maximal. And set the vaentilator in position
II to have an easy start. Close the fire door ! When the wood is burning well, the desired position
of the air inlet can be chosen.
Wood burns for a long time and produces a lot of gas; it must be burnt fast with a constant oxygen
supply. To reduce the possible undesirable effects of long-term reduced air supply, it is best to let
the stove burn for a quarter of an hour at full power every day that it is used.
Possible undesirable effects:
Smouldering fire, condensation, tar deposits
High levels of soot
Smoke problems (emissions of poisonous substances)
Risk of explosion
Wood is not suitable for a small fire! In other words, a wood-burning stove can’t be damped down.
It can take a long time to burn down fully. This means that, when the air inlet is closed, the set
temperature is only reached when the wood is burnt well down and the degassing process –
whereby the large flames die back and only the glowing embers of the wood remain –is complete!
In particular, avoid adding excessive fuel, otherwise too much heat is released, a lot of combustion
gases are released and the appliance will be overloaded.
9.5 Possible settings
The stove has a higher output when the door is closed. In this way it produces heat in completely
safety by radiation and convection.
We can choose from 3 possible settings.
A. Very high convection and radiation heat emission.
High wood consumption.
Open the primary air inlet completely to obtain a keen and fast flame. This setting should be
used only to light the fire. Once the stove is hot, select another position (see B or C).
B. Very high convection and radiation heat, moderate wood consumption with minimum pollution
and maximum output. Gradually close the air regulator to maintain a good flame without
burning intensely. At this setting a fully loaded appliance should be able to burn all night and
still give off good convection heat. Using extremely dry wood and an appropriate flue draught,
the window will stay clean for longer.
C. Average convection and radiation heat - low wood consumption. Close the air regulator until
the flame almost extinguishes. In this way the stove will burn all night (depending on the flue
draught) but the window will become dirty because combustion is not complete.

SAEY FENIX/SAEY FENIXVITRO
810.6011.000 / 02 70
English
The choice of setting depends on the choice of capacity and the flue draught. The flue draught can
also be dependent on weather conditions.
To remind you, the more open the air regulator, the greater the radiation but with less heat
convection, and, more particularly, greater wood consumption. For maximum heat and output
choose setting "B".
10 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
In general it can be said that if the insert is used on a regular basis, it must be given a thorough
cleaning at least once a year.
We recommend carrying out small cleaning jobs such as emptying the ash from the burning
chamber and cleaning the door pane at regular times. The insert must only be cleaned when it is
completely cold.
10.1 Cleaning the ceramic window
The Saey LINUS has a high-performance airwash system which prevents the window from turning
black too quickly. However, it cannot prevent a long-term attack on the glass. Using damp or wet
wood makes the problem worse. The water vapour released sticks to the window and holds the
soot particles.
Warning! The stove pane must only be cleaned when it is completely cold.
The best and cheapest cleaning agent is the ashes themselves.
How do I use the ashes to clean the glass pane?
Place a slightly damp piece of newspaper or rag in the white ashes of the cool stove and
rub this on the glass. The ashes have a gently scouring effect.
Then rub the door pane with another damp piece of newspaper or rag. Finally polish the
door pane up with a clean dry soft cloth.
There are also special cleaning products for stove windows. Be careful with these products
because some can damage the fireproof paint on the stove. Follow the instructions on the cleaning
products carefully.
Warning! NEVER use ‘scouring’ cleaning products, they can damage the protective layer
on the glass and cause it to crack.

10.2 Removing the ashes
The stove must be cleaned on a regular basis.
This can be done using the shovel provided, which works as a shovel or scraper if turned around.
Please note, leaving a bed of ashes on the bottom (± 1 cm) improves combustion 
combustion in the ashes.
1. Open the door.
2. Use the poker supplied to push glowing embers
to one side for later use to relight the fire.
3. Push ashes to the other side.
4. Remove the ashes from the stove (with the
shovel)
5. Spread the glowing embers evenly over the
bottom of the stove.
6. Place new logs on the glowing embers.

10.3 Painted parts
Dust the remaining ashes from the painted parts using a soft hand brush or cotton cloth. Never
wash the stove with water!
10.4 Cleaning the flue
The flue must be swept every year. To do this the smoke damper must be removed from the
appliance. To remove the smoke damper, follow the instructions below with care.
1) After opening the door you can remove baffle plate D. To do this, place your hand on catch
C and push the back of the catch upwards. Catch C at the back will now have come free
from smoke damper E and you can move it towards you. The catch can now be removed
from the smoke damper. See photos 1 to 5.
Please note:
Catch C for the smoke damper has a front (A) and back (B). Remember these directions
when reassembling. Baffle plate D also has a front (A) and back (B) which you will also
need to bear in mind.
2) You can now remove baffle plate D by raising the left-hand side and lowering the right-hand
side, so that the right-hand side can be turned to the front and the plate removed. See
photos 6 to 9.
3) Smoke damper F is removed by sliding it to the back and pulling down. See photo 10.
4) To reassemble the whole work in reverse order. Be sure when reassembling that you first
mount the smoke damper operating shaft F (photo 12) in the guide hole G (photo 6) before
placing the grooves of smoke damper E over the fixings. Now shift smoke damper E to the
front to prevent it from dropping.
10.5 Broken door pane
The pyroceramic door pane is strong and will not break from the heat. However, it can break due to
lack of care. You can avoid damage by reading and following the tips below.
Never let blocks of wood stick out at the front or they might break the door pane.
When filling the stove with blocks of wood, take care that no blocks fall against the door pane.
Do not press too hard when cleaning the door pane.
On first use (both for a new appliance and when starting up after the summer) check the
tension in the door pane. There should be a little play in the door pane, otherwise the tension
must be released before the appliance is put into use for the first time.
If the door pane is broken, consult your fitter.
