WARNING BEFORE USE
To keep your cooker working properly, it is important to read this manual and strictly stick to the instructions
for use and handling.
For use with solid fuel only, such as wood and wood briquettes. It is forbidden putting explosive devices
and materials combustion chamber or the limited thermal furnace. It is forbidden to keep flammable
materials near the stove.
For proper combustion, in normal operating mode, draft in the chimney should be 10-12 Pa. If the draft is
greater than 15Pa, the valve should be installed in the chimney.
Room where the cooker is positioned must be vented regularly for the fresh air needed for combustion.
Some parts of cooker heat up during operation and it takes appropriate precaution when handling it. Do not
allow children to handle and play near the cooker.
Only spare partes reccomended and allowed by the manufacturershould be installed on the cooker. You
must not make any changes on the cooker.
With first firing there might show a mild smoke, especially from the plate’s surface. It is a common
appearance that occurs due to combustion deposits on the plate’s surface (corrosion protection, paint, dust
...). The room where the cooker is should be vented during the first firing.
It’s not reccomended connecting the cooker to the common chimney because it can adversely affect the
required draft.
Device that uses gas as fuel must notbe connected to same chimney.
During firing, use protection gloves because the door handles get heated.
National and local regulations for the installation of the furnace must be respected.

INSTALLING THE COOKER
Cooker must not be set up near the wooden parts, refrigeration parts, plastic furniture and other flammable
materials because during operation (during fuel combustion) it achieves high operating temperature that is
distributed on the outside of the furnace. Minimum distance between the stove and the
surrounding elements is 6”.
If the ground on which you set the cooker is made of easily flammable material (wood, warm floor, laminate
...) you need to set under the cooker a protetion sheet metal or any non flammable floor protector.
Because of its weight, the cooker must be installed on the appropriate base. If it does not satisfie necessary
standard, you must take appropriate measures to make it possible (eg, weight distribution).
Connect the cooker to achimney and flue pipes through the connector on top of the furnace, so as to
ensure adequate tightness and flow of smoke from the stove to the chimney. Flue pipe must not be drawn
too deeply into the chimney that would reduce the cross sectional area and thus undermined draft in the
chimney. Do not use reducers which reduce the cross section of pipe smoke.
The cooker requires insertion of fresh air in the room where it is installed, with surface openings for
insertion of fresh air should not be less than 0.4 dm ². The unit for fresh air set outside the common room
for ventilation, which must be insured by door and gride.
Fans that work in the same room where the cooker is installed may make interference wit the the cooker.
Also, all devices or ventilation that creates negative pressure in the room where the cooker is installed,
must be set in the way that does not make decompression that prevents normal operation of the furnace.
Before installing the cooker, check the chimney drafts because it is a key factor in the proper functioning of
the cooker. Draft depends on the proper opration of the chimney and meteorological conditions. One of the
easiest ways to check the draft in the chimney is with a candle flame, as shown in Figure 2 . Put a candle
near the chimney connection drain. If the flame bends towards drain, the draft is satisfying (Figure 2b). If
the flame doesn’t bend or bends a little, that indicates poor draft (Figure 2a).
If there is poor draft in the chimney (Figure 2a), check the chimney operation. The chimney should be
located inside the building, and if it’s located on the external walls of the building, it’s recommended
insulation chimney.
Figure 2a. Figure 2b.

Disadvantages of the chimney (Figure 3): `
1. The chimney is higher than the top of the roof, a small cross section of the output,
2. Excessive slope
3. A sudden change of direction of the flue channel
4. Stove or some other device connected to the same flue channel,
5. Bulges in the flue channel
6. Cracks
7. Alien body or accumulated grime,
8. Tube inserted too deeply,
9. Fan or other device that creates a vacuum in the room
10.Unsealed or opened cleaning hole

IGNITION AND LIGHTING
Before the first firing, wipe all painted surfaces withclean and dry cloth, in order to avoid burning impurity on
the oven and creation of unpleasant smells.
Start the fire in the stoveby following order:
• open the fire door,
• place the fluel into the fire place (chopped wood to non greasy wrinkled paper)
• light a fire
• leave open primary air regulator until the flame gets stable and after
having stabilized the flame,control burning intensity with draftsregulator (Fig. 1, pos. 11)
• secondary air regulator leave opened until the flame gets stable and after
having stabilized the flame, control burning intensity with regulator (Fig. 1, poz.14)
• close the firebox door,
• after creating a basic flame insert larger pieces of wood or briquettesin the firebox, and
close the firebox door. If you use briquettes as a fuel, you must wait that all biquettes are lit and
then reduce the draft in half.
• when adding fuel, (Fig. 1, pos. 12) open the fire door step by step
wait for 4-5 seconds, and then slowly open it wide.
Do not open the doorsuddenly, when there’s a strong flame in the combustion chamber, it may come to it’s
spreaading into the room.
Regulating the draft in the cooker, you can regulate temperature, power and the combustion of fuel, and
this is done by running draft regulator on the firebox door (Fig. 1, pos. 11). Combining primary air through
the regulator onthe firebox door and secondary air over the leverage above the firebox door (Fig. 1, pos.
14) you get desired combustion.
Cooker contains auxiliary tools in order to facilitate its maintenance.
Recommended fuel: cord wood max length 16".
You must not use gasoline and similar fuels, because by using liquid fuels you crate conditions for
damaging the stove and to provoce an explosion.

Page 9
Attention!
• Do not use organic wasteas fuel, food residue, plastic, combustible or explosive materials, which
combustion disturbs the proper functioning of the cooker and may cause damage and environmental
pollution.
• Increased ambient temperature can cause poor air circulation (drafts) in the chimney, and in that case is
recommended more frequent firing in smaller quantities.
• Avoid using the cooker when there are bad weather conditions for the cooker andin the case of strong
wind, because it reflects the required vacuum in the chimney. In these cases there may occure potential
return of smoke in the room where the cooker is placed. Ignition is difficult then.
We recommend firing every hour with the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber up to 15cm with cross
stacking wood for better airflow.
After each refilling, it’s reccomender to leave the oven running in full speed for 30 minutes,in order to
destroy all volatile elements that may cause condesation in the cooker.
Correct cooker operation demands:
- Regular cleaning of the cooker and chimney
- Regular room ventilation for better combustion
- Regular ash tray cleaning
- Accumulated slag and unburned material regularly remove from the grid
WORKING REGIMES
There are four working regimes, which could be selected by adjusting the draught in the cooker.
Combined working regime - working regime in which it could be cooked in the oven, cooked on the top of
the hotplate and heat the room at the same time. It is necessary to push the flue gas register handle
towards the inside of the cooker, move primary air regulator to create medium inlet of the air.
Quick cooking - during this process it is the hotplate heats up intensively and to be able to do that with
small quantity of fuel, draw flue gas register handle completely outside, oven door should be shut and
move primary air regulator to create medium inlet of the air.
Heating for this regime it would be recommended to use wood or coal. If the coal is been used it would
require more frequent firing in order to create the ember which would intensively heat the hotplate of the
cooker. Push the flue gas register handle towards the inside of the cooker, move primary air regulator to
create medium inlet of the air and the oven’s door closed.
Baking for this regime push the flue gas register handle towards the inside of the cooker, move primary air
regulator to create medium inlet of the air and the oven’s door closed after putting the baking pan inside.

Page 10
HANDLING THE COOKER OPERATION
Start a fire with a moderate flame in order to avoid thermal shocks.
The following amounts of wood are inserted only after the previous volume burn.
Do not allow that ashes and unburned accumulate on the grid and to ta pit that way. Clean the grid.
Open the door slowly and carefully, allowing that way equalization of pressure in the firebox and in the
room, otherwise itmight cause the smoke in the room.
The cooker is designed and intended for use with firebox door constantly closed, except during refueling.
Do not open the door with no need.
The wood must be a maximum of 19% moisture content for maximum fire effect. Otherwise the tar gets
separated which with water steam may crate creosite. If that happens in some bigger quantitiy, it may lead
to a chimney fire. You will most easily recognize chimney fire by: the characteristic sound that comes out of
the chimney like loud roaring, visible flames coming out of the chimney, high ambient temperatures of
surrounding walls and the characteristic smell of burning.
If there comes to the fire do the following:
• Immediately call the fire squad
• muffle oxygen supply to the chimney and turn off the cooker
• Do not insert anything into the chimney and make sure that the fire does not spread to the wooden
construction or other combustible materials in its nearby.
• DO NOT pour water into the cooker or chimney
• A fire in the chimney can be extinct only with dry powder
• Water can extinguish only a surrounding material
• Do not cool the surrounding walls with water
Note:
If the fire in the cooker for some reason becomes dangerously strong take the following measures: close air
dampers that provide air for combustion. If it is necessary put in the firebox specially prepared sand for this
purpose or non-combustible fire blanket. It would be good to have a fire extinguisher.
Before the second charging, clean the gridin order to provide the fresh air.
Regularly clean the ash pan making sure that there is always a place for ashes.
The furnace is designed to operate in periodic mode. To maintain the required nominal power, combustion
chamber is periodically filled with prestabled amount of fuel.
Furnace is not designed to operate in continuous modeof heating or in accumulating temperature mode.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Regular and proper cleaning allows proper operation and long life of the stove. All cleaning the interior or
exterior surfaces are always performed in a cold oven.
Cleaning exterior surfaces - is done with a soft cloth that will not damage the surface of the stove. Cleaners
of chemical origin can damage the surface of the fire place and cannot be used. Painted surfaces must not
be cleaned with abrasive products.
Cleaning inter surfaces –when cleaning use protective gloves.
Clean the bottom of the ovenfrom accumulated ash and pick up small unburned pieces of the grid, clean
the ashtray and ash accumulated in the interior of the fireplace.
Cleaning glass surfaces - glass on the firebox may get dirthy during the operation. For cleaning use a mild
detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners because they can damage the surface of the glass. Clean the
glass only when cool.
Cleaning and maintenance of the chimney - chimney cleaning and control is recommended at least once a
year and after a long downtime. Regular maintenance and control of the chimney will prevent the
occurrence of fire and poor operation of stow.
