of the product in the prescribed directions. In addition, the product installation
and installation connection must be made by an authorized person. Before

4
installing the stove, the lifting capacity of the installation ground should be
checked whether it is resistant for the stove. In case of insufficient load resistance
or low lifting capacity, suitable precautions must be taken (eg put a stove lifting
plate).
3. SAFETY
THE VENTILATION CONDITIONS WHERE THE PRODUCT WILL BE INSTALLED
AND THE PROTECTION AGAINST FREEZING MUST BE TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION.
All the required standard examinations are tested for the product. The predicted
parameters associated with combustion efficiency and exhaust gas emissions are
observed. The stove type described in this manual has been tested according to the
BA 1, DIN 1881 EN13240 standards, by an approved agency.
Combustion chamber cover should be opened only to load the fuel. To avoid
hazards, the combustion chamber must be closed. For the efficient operation of
the stove, there must be minimum of fresh air flow in the room where it is
installed.
CAUTION! The stove can operate in conjunction with the existing multiple
flue systems. This should not be an aspirator, ventilator etc.
The combustion of combustible materials causes heat energy to heat the stove
surfaces (doors, door handles, flame monitor cover, side walls, front wall). These
parts should not be touched without heat-protective gloves.
CAUTION! Since the stove top surface might be hot, please do not put
combustible materials on it.
Hazardous materials (plastic, flammable substances, etc.) may cause chimney fires.
In this case, immediately close all the parts of the stove and call the fire0 fighting.
CAUTION! Check the water level in the stoves and radiators before use.
*** The stove should not be used without water.***
4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
The packaging of the stove protects the product from damage in the best possible
way. However, the stove or its accessories may still be damaged during transport.

5
Therefore, after removing the stove from the package, check whether it is complete
and undamaged. In case of any damage, notify your dealer.
4.1 SAFETY DISTANCES (MINIMUM DISTANCE)
While installing the stove, the fire regulations and chimney’s instructions must be
complied. For any related questions please ask the chimney installer. Minimum
distances to be observed in flammable or heat-sensitive materials (eg furniture,
wallpaper, wood panels) (see diagram below) are:
A25cm from rear wall
B15cm from lateral wall and
C 80cm from the radiation area (front side of the product)
Flammable materials and furniture should not be placed at a distance of 80 cm in
the radiation area (C) of the flame monitoring cover.
This distance can be reduced to 40 cm when the protection panel is placed
between the stove and the materials that are likely to burn.

6
Minimum distances for flammable materials and furniture are indicated on the
product label and must not be exceeded. If the floor where the stove needs to be
installed is flammable or heat-sensitive, you should place the product on the
ground protection plate (eg marble or glass base).
In this case the minimum dimensions of stove bottom plate (look at drawing)
should be:
D 50cm (front length)
E 30cm (lateral length from the inner edge of the fire chamber cover)
You can order the floor protection plate from seller when you require.
4.2 STOVE INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION
Product installation and assembly should be done according to the user manual
and by an authorized person. Since our wood stove for a flat is designed for
interior and provide heat to the ambient, it should not be installed in bathroom,
balcony, cellar, woodshed, etc… The distance between stove and chimney must be
close.
4.2.2 Chimney Connection
For stove connection steel sheet flue pipes of 2mm thickness must be used. Stove
pipe must be connected to stove chimney output and chimney firmly. This strong
and close connection is also compulsory for flue pipes. After connecting flue pipe to
the chimney, remaining gaps around chimney must be closed with sealing and
fireproof materials. When the distance between stove and chimney is long,
horizontal connection must be avoided. Chimney pipe must be installed according
to the direction of the chimney. When the distance is short at least 1meter length
flue pipe must be used and must be installed vertically.
The chimney to be used at the exhaust gas outlet can be multiple chimney
connection (See Chimney Assembly Diagram)
CAUTION: Do not burn the stove when the flue pipe is connected. First of all,
the radiator installation must be done ( Otherwise stove burned without
water can lead to stove deformations). Our company is not responsible for
damages caused by burning without water.
The chimney connection should be done according to DIN4705.

5. STOVE WORK PRINCIPLES
The stove should only be used by adults. Children should not be alone with the
stove. The stove should only be used in accordance with this manual.
5.1 SUITABLE FUEL
Stove is suitable for highly efficient fuels. Approved fuel for combustion is listed in
the attached information sheet.
CAUTION : Since wood is not a permanently combustible fuel, it is impossible
to heat overnight
CAUTION: Never use wallpaper, chipboard waste, plastic or treated wood
(paint, coating, etc.) for heating! Otherwise, the chimney and flue pipes may
be blocked.
Caution: Do not use flammable materials (thinner, paint, gasoline etc.)
5.2 COMBUSTION AND HEATING
First of all put 3-4 bricket wood in the fire chamber and put small pieces of wood
or paper to burn. All existing glass cleaning vents must be open. Then, after
burning the stove, close the fireplace chamber cover. For the air-flow control,
thermostatic regulation setting in the attached information page needs to be
observed.
The stove should be burned carefully during the first use and the flame should be
kept as low as possible. If you burn it carefully, you will prevent the formation of
cracks in the insulating stones, damage the paint and deterioration of the material.
The smell caused by the protective paint on the stove is short-lived, so keep the
doors and windows open.
CAUTION: Our products should not be used to burn environmentally
hazardous waste.
5.2.1 Adding fuel
In addition to suitable fuel, enough chimney extraction and properly use of the
stove has an impact on glass cleaning. In this context, we recommend you to use
wood in a single layer and use wood to fill the width of the large fire chamber.

8
When opening the flame chamber cover, make sure that the air vent cover of the
mechanical thermostat is closed. After adding the fuel, the flame chamber cover
should be closed and the mechanical thermostat needs to be set.
5.2.2 Use during transition period
In the transitional season or by hot weather, problems may occur in the chimney
output (smoke) draft. To avoid damages in the transitional period, the product
should be operated with less fuel or should not be burned.
5.2.3 Ashtray Discharge
After a long period of combustion, at least once a day, the ash should be
transferred from the grid to the ash tray by using the ash-handle. We advise you to
do this when the stove is cold. When half of the ashtray is filled, draining should be
considered.
If the ashtray is full, cast-iron parts will stay between the fuel chamber and ash,
and the air-take will be impossible. This can cause damage and deformations to the
product parts. While emptying the ash, make sure the cover of the chamber is
closed.
Attention! Before discharging the ash, embers should be checked. Even if the
ash is cold, there may still be embers in the trash that can cause a fire.
5.2.4 Emission Limit
The stove is suitable for high efficient fuel. Unsuitable fuels according to the
Ministry of Environment Applications are for example:
•Wood that is moist and treated with protection
•Thin sawdust
•Paper and paperboard (except ignition)
•Bark and hardboard waste
•Plastic and other wastes
Burning these materials will damage the environment as well as shorten the life
of the stove and cause damages. Regular cleaning and maintenance will also
reduce harmful emissions.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
At least once a year (when necessary more often) the stove should be cleaned and
maintained in cold condition (once every 2 months when using coal). The
efficiency increases as much as you clean. Wastes adhering to the stove and the
stove pipe should be cleaned with a brush. Fireplace glass can be cleaned with a
wet sponge and ordinary glass cleaning material can be used or the flame itself can
clean the glass in efficient chimneys. Besides, the chimney should be cleaned once a
year. We advise you to get the cleaning done by an authorized person.
The surface of the stove should not be cleaned with scratching and harmful
cleaning material because otherwise the paint surface may be damaged.
