GENERAL INFORMATION
National Standards, European Standards, local regulations, construction
regulations, fire protection and safety regulations must be observed.
During the installation, one must contact a person who is authorized for the
chimney. The authorized person shall check the shape of the chimney connection
of the product in the prescribed directions. In addition, the product
installation and installation connection must be made by an authorized person.
Before 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).
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.
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.
Therefore, after removing the stove from the package, check whether it is
complete and undamaged. In case of any damage, notify your dealer.
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:
- A 25cm from rear wall
- B 15cm 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
