Floor Load Capacity

Before the heating unit is installed, make sure that
the load capacity of the supporting construction is
sufficient to carry the weight of the entire unit.

Stovepipe Connection


For your own safety stringent laws apply to the
connecting of the stovepipe to the chimney. Your
professional dealer or distributor knows these laws.
Please have your certified retailer carry out the
connection of your stove.

3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE

Initial startup of your stove


Your stove was treated with a special
environmentally friendly lacquer. The lacquer
surface is still soft at the time the stove is shipped.
The lacquer will harden when your stove is used
for the first time
. The lacquer surface may not be
touched when it is heated for the first time. The
stove must be initially heated to a high temperature
for at least 1.5 hours. Visible vapors may appear
during the hardening of the lacquer. For this
reason it will be necessary to open windows during
initial operation in order let the vapors escape into
the outdoors.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: It takes several heating
sessions before for your stove releases only the
pleasant smell of burning wood.

Approved Fuels


Dry, well cured and natural wood, wood briquettes,
brown-coal briquettes.

Maximum Amount of Fuel


Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 3,6 kg wood
or 2,7 kg wood briquettes. Larger amounts of fuel
can lead to overheating and thus damage the
stove.

Clean Burning


The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture
< 15%) and untreated and the right amount of
wood must be burned in order to ensure a clean
fire that releases only small amounts of emissions.

Making a Fire


Prepare everything you need for starting the fire—
soft wood chips, igniter materials (such as
Thermohit wood/coal igniter), uncoated paper,
wood. Figure 1 provides a good overview of the
materials you will need.
