What are the minimum safety distances to observe?

For non-flammable objects: front >400 mm, sides >200 mm. For flammable objects and load-bearing reinforced concrete walls: front >800 mm, sides >800 mm. Respect these distances to avoid any fire risk.

How to maintain the stove glass?

Use a specific glass cleaner like Thermohit. The lacquered parts can be cleaned with a soft cloth, possibly damp. For stainless steel, use special products.

What to do during first commissioning because of the varnish smell?

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The installation and operation information given here is of a general nature, exact regulations may vary from country to country. The rules in force in your country should always take precedence.

General Safety Instructions for the Operation of Your Stove

• Thoroughly read the entire manual before starting up your stove and ensure compliance with the warnings.
• Your heating unit may not be moved without approved means of transport with sufficient load-bearing capacity.
• Your heating unit is not suitable to be used as a stand or as a ladder.
• The burning of fuel releases thermal energy that leads to a substantial heating up of the surface of the heating unit, the doors, the parts mounted on the door, door glass, flue pipe and in some cases the front wall of the heating unit. Do not touch any of these surfaces without respective protective clothing or without the help of accessories such as heat-resistant gloves or a cold hand.
• Make your children aware of this particular danger and keep them at a distance from the heating unit whenever it is in operation.
• Only burn approved fuels and materials listed in the section entitled Clean Burning.
• The burning or introduction of flammable or explosive materials, such as empty spray cans and the like into the firebox as well as the storage of such materials in the immediate vicinity of your

heating unit is strictly forbidden due the danger of explosion.

• Do not wear loose or flammable clothing when adding fuel to the fire.
• Placing non-heat-resistant objects on the heating unit or in the vicinity of the heating unit is forbidden.
• Do not lay laundry onto the stove for drying.
• Laundry hung up to dry must be kept at a safe distance from the stove because of the danger of fire.
• When operating your heating unit it is forbidden to use flammable or explosive materials in the same or an adjacent room to the one in which your heating unit is located.

Setting Up Your Stove

Safety Clearances (Minimum Distances in Fig. 2)

1. to nonflammable objects:

$$ a > 4 0 0 \mathrm {m m} b > 2 0 0 \mathrm {m m} $$

1. to flammable objects and to supporting walls of reinforced-concrete construction with convection shell:

$$ a > 8 0 0 \mathrm {m m} b > 8 0 0 \mathrm {m m} $$

$$ (a - \text {t o w a r d t h e f r o n t i n t h e r a d i a t e d a r e a}) $$

$$ (b - t o \text {t h e s i d e a n d t o t h e b a c k}) $$

Make sure that the room in which the stove is set up has at least one door or window to the outside or is directly adjacent to such a room.

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.

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: appr. 4,8 kg wood or appr. 3,6 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.

Figure 3: Heating Material

Open the primary and secondary air all the way. Move both sliders. See Figure 2.

Open the stove door.

Lay uncoated paper on the floor of the firebox. Lay soft wood chips onto the paper.

Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips.

Figure 4: Igniting the Fire

Light the paper.

Close the firebox.

As soon as the chips are burning well, close the primary air supply.

Figure 5: Close the Primary Air

As soon as the wood logs are burning well, you can regulate the heating capacity with the secondary air slider. (Slider set to the maximum ("AUF") setting produces maximum heat - see Figure 2.)

When adding wood to the fire, follow the same procedure as when igniting the fire: Open primary air, open secondary air, carefully open firebox door, lay wood on the fire, close the firebox door. Wait until the added wood catches fire and is burning. Then close the primary air. Subsequently regulate the fire with the secondary air supply.
