The general warnings and instructions must be followed closely.
- Read the whole manual carefully before putting the stove into use.
- Your stove may only be carried using approved means of transport with
adequate load bearing capacity,
- When fuel is burning heat is released, so the upper part of the stove, the
doors, the door handles, the inspection windows, the flues and possibly also
the jacket of the stove 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 stove is used
- Do not place items which are not heat-resistant on the stove or close to it
- Do not put a kettle on top of the stove except on the polished plate specially
provided
- Do not put clothes on the stove to dry
- 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 stove is not designed as an all-purpose incinerator. Use only suitable fuel
- The outside of some parts of the stove can become very hot. Take appropriate
precautions
- The stove must not be altered or modified in any way
- Use only original spare parts from the manufacturer
- This stove is not suitable for installation using a flue to which multiple stoves
are connected,

3. Fuel
Which type of fuel?: Wood or wood briquettes
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!
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 hearth,
window and chimney.
Dry wood means clean pieces wood with a humidity ratio, by comparison with
dried wood, of no more than 20%. So choose well-cutwood 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 prepared wood or finely chopped wood (splinters) to light the stove!
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.
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 7
kW than ± 2 kg dry wood per hour is enough.

6. Technology
- Airwash
Snorkel technology ensures healthy, safe and efficient combustion. It is
available by using the optional airbox for this stove (ref. 479.5306.010).
Healthy, because snorkel technology draws all the necessary oxygen
from outside – just like a snorkel, in fact – and not from your room. That's
important, because the insulation in our houses is constantly improving.
Snorkel technology ensure the maximum breathing space in even the best
insulated houses.
Safe, because the stoves give off nothing indoors except heat. There is
no risk of backwash combustion gases or of CO poisoning.
Stoves with Snorkel technology are also more efficient, because they
no longer suck heated air out of the room. (www.saeyheating.com)
7. Options
See for more on our website: www.saeyheating.com
8. 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.
This package includes:
- 1 Saey Altum appliance
- 1 cupboard with soapstone top plate
English

10
- 1 manual
- 1 pair of heat resistant gloves
If anything is missing, please inform your installer as soon as possible.
9. 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.
The stove may only be installed on a floor with adequate load-bearing capacity. If the
floor is non-compliant, then steps will have to be taken to increase the load-bearing
capacity.
9.1 The chimney
Before a stove is connected to a chimney connected is, 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 local legislation in force.
9.1.1. 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 8 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.
English

11
If it draws too little, then the following measures should be considered:
a. Extending the chimney
b. Improving the insulation of the chimney (less cooling of the flue gases)
c. Improving the flow of air into the space in which the stove is installed.
d. Improving the airtightness 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:
e. A round channel is preferable (to minimise friction)
f. 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).
g. The mouth of the chimney should be unobstructed.
h. The chimney should be as close as possible to vertical with as few
curves as possible.
i. The chimney must not draw in extra air. Watch out for flue dampers
and cleaning hatches in the cellar or on the roof!
j. The chimney must not have too many connections - that reduces the
upwards pressure. Consult your chimney specialist!
k. Flue connections to different stoves and fireplaces must not be located
opposite each other at the same height, in order to prevent the chance
that combustion gases will not be drawn out. Two flue connections
must be at separated vertically by at least 30 cm.
l. 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:
English

12
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.

appliances
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.
English

13
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 clean.
9.2. Connection of the stove to the chimney
The stove can be connected directly to the chimney (top outlet). The diameter of
the outlet pipe must match the 120 mm diameter of the connecting pipe section
to the stove.
If the chimney draws too strongly (>20 Pa), then a damper must be incorporated.
See also the basic requirements for the chimney in 9.1.
The steps for the actual assembly are shown below (e.g. fixed pipe with rose or
hearth screen).
9.3. Combustion air
The Saey Altum stove can only be used when the stove door is closed. The
Saey Altum stove uses 25m³ per hour at its nominal power. All combustion air is
drawn in through the opening on the rear of the stove and is thus preferably
taken from outside via the airbox (optionally available, see Section 7) Æor
Snorkel Technology (see Section 6)
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 stove. 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.
Tip: Consideration must also be given to cooker hoods which may be connected
to the space in which the stove is installed. They cause underpressure, which
can lead to a malfunction in the combustion air supply. The combustion gas
which results can damage residents' health and even cause death.
9.3.1. Combustion air supply
The combustion air is drawn in through the openings on the front of the stove.
When the traditional system is used the space where the appliance is installed
must be adequately ventilated. (see technical data point 4)
English

14
9.4. Clearance around the stove to be respected
Fire safety measures concerning inflammable or temperature-sensitive floor
coverings:
The surface under the stove must have a fire-resistant, non-inflammable
covering (e.g. cast iron plate, marble or tile,…) Inflammable materials like
for example carpet, parquet or cork should be protected.
All inflammabel or temperature sensitive objects that are in a radius of 80
cm around the stove, should be sufficiently protected.
Safety distance to inflammable or temperature-sensitive items:
To the sidewalls of the stove: at least 30 cm
To the rear wall when top connection at least 30 cm
To the rear wall when rear connection: at least 20 cm
Within the line of sight of the glass : at least 80 cm
Floor protection in front: at least 50 cm
Floor protection to the sides: at least 30 cm
10. Use
10.1. First use
Attention: the cardboard or other material that is used to protect the vermiculite
stones during transport, must be removed before the first use. When the stove
is used for the first time, it must first be completely dried. Warm it for about 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 near the appliance during this phase and remove any condensation
immediately before it has the chance to break through the paint. The paint can
become soft during this first heating up phase. Be careful you don’t bump it
during this phase, it might leave permanent scratches.
English

15
10.2 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.
11. Operation
Opening the fire door
Open the firedoor by lifting the door handle. Watch out, use the heat resistant
gloves when the door handle is hot.

Position to the right = primary air inlet completely open
Position to the left = primary air inlet completely closed
English

16
Open the secondairy air inlet : see last column in table “General”
The secondary air is used to burn the solid particles in the smoke. This reduces
the exhaust and raises the efficiency.
12. Heating
The heating itself can only be done with the front door closed! Even when the
stove is not working, the front door should stay closed.
12.1 Lighting
Ensure maximum air supply when lighting the stove (air lever in start position).
Put a good layer of kindling on the grate of the stove. Put two larger woodlogs
on top of it. Put some firelighters in between and light them. Close the fire door
and open the air inlet completely (position IIII).
Watch out: If 15 minutes after lighting there is still a backdraught of flue gases
because of the weather conditions (strong wind or fog, for example) the lighting
should be stopped until the weather improves.
12.2 Heating with firewood
For the appliance to reach the desired temperature quickly without too many
undesirable emissions, after lighting you should follow the following heating
procedure:
As soon as the kindling is burning well you can put a wood block (max. Ø 14 cm)
into the firebox.
Then set the combustion air handle to the desired position: small or large flames
for nominal or maximum power!
English

17
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
not be choked. It can just take a long time to burn 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 – 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.
One should, when using het fire place in between seasons, check the chimney
draft before lighting it. Unsufficient draft could cause the backwash of smoke,
which is harmfull for the health of the inhabitants.
12.3 Dousing the fire
When there is only a bed of glowing coals remaining in the firebox, it is advisable
to set the air supply lever to the burn out/retain heat position. This prevents any
heat loss via the chimney and ensures that the relighting of the stove runs
smoothly the next time.
13. Cleaning and maintenance
In general it can be said that if the stove is used on a regular basis, it must be give a
thorough cleaning at least once a year. Polluted smoke conducts lower the efficiency
of the stove considerably. If certain parts show traces of wear and tear, please
contact your installer.
English

18
Removing and emptying the ashpan
The ashpan must be emptied regularly, and certainly before it reaches the height
of the grate. If not the grille cannot cool down and the cast iron elements can
melt.
Cleaning the smoke channels
Once per burning season the fly ash must be removed from the smoke
channels.
For a thorough cleaning it is advisable to take out the inner sides in vermiculite.
This should take place in this order:
1. Remove first the grate and the grateholder
2. remove the first baffle plate
3. remove the protection grid
4. remove the upper vermiculite stones in the combustion chamber
5. remove the slant smoke conductor
6. remove the upper vermiculite stones in the combustion chamber
7. remove the flat smoke conductor
The fly ash in the space and on the plates can simply be removed with a vacuum
cleaner. Make sure no glowing ashes arrive into the vacuum cleaner, use an
ashton.
Ceramic window
The Saey Altum 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 soot particles fast.
To clean the window, first wait until it has cooled down completely. The cleaning
can use glass cleaners which are commonly available in the shops. Do not in
any event use corrosive or scouring products to clean the glass.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a natural product and a slight change in colour as a result of the
heat is possible. This change of colour cannot be subject of any complaint.
Possible staines can be removed with water and soap. If this isn’t sufficient,
sandpaper (grain 240) can be used. Do not use any corrosive products.
English
