1.6 Potential problems and how to tackle them ................................................ 30

It is necessary to quote the article number and the serial number on the model plate when ordering parts!22 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. This equipment has been certified under the requirements of standard

EN 13240 (see the model plate).

2. For setting purposes and connection to the chimney, the fire protection re-

quirements as prescribed in the given locations, as well as standards DIN 4705, DIN 18160, DIN 18896, EN 13384, EN 1856-2 and EN 15287 should be complied with. For the problem-free functioning of the equipment, the chimney that the fireplace is to be connected to has to be in perfect condi- tions (mainly Germany).

3. Before the first commissioning and connection to the chimney, these user

instructions are to be read thoroughly, and the competent chimney sweeper has to be informed.

4. It is recommended to use clean cotton gloves for the setting of the equip-

ment in order to avoid the appearance of fingerprints that would be hard to eliminate later on.

5. In order to keep the air clean and maintain the equipment properly, the

maximum fuel quantities specified in these safety instructions may not be exceeded, and the doors of the equipment have to be kept closed, otherwise the equipment may overheat, leading to damage. No guarantee is provided for such damage.

6. During operations, the doors of the equipment are to be kept always closed.

7. Permissible fuels:

- natural wood (max. 25 cm in length) - brown coal briquette (see user instructions)

8. Never use liquid igniters. Use special ignition materials or wood wool for the

kindling of the fire.

9. Never use wastes, fine wooden chips, mulch, coal debris, particle board

wastes, wet wood or wood treated with wood-protective agents, paper or cardboard or similar materials for burning.

10. Upon the first kindling, smoke and unpleasant smell may be generated. Al-

ways ensure the proper ventilation of the room (by opening windows and doors), and heat the fireplace at maximum rated heating performance. If with the first heating the maximum temperature is not reached, the above- mentioned effects may as well arise later on.

11. The operating elements and adjustment units are to be used as described in

these user instructions. If the equipment is hot, use auxiliaries or protective gloves for the handling of the equipment.

12. When opening the furnace chamber door, any incorrect handling or insuffi-

cient draught may induce smoke. Always ensure that the furnace chamber door may be opened only slowly, first just to a small extent, and then fully af- ter a few seconds. In addition, if you intend to put additional fuel into the fire,23 before the opening of the door only there may be only ember bed in the burning space, i.e. no flames may be visible.

13. In heating mode, the surfaces, inspection glasses and handles may become

very hot. Warn children of these threats, and keep them away from the fire- place when heated.

14. Ensure that the ashtray should be fully inserted, and in particular never re-

move hot ash from the fireplace (fire risk).

15. In transitional periods, chimney draught may drop, resulting in the imperfect

suction of the generated flue gases. In such cases, the fireplace is to be filled with smaller quantities of fuel, preferably wooden chips or wood wool, and it is to be commissioned under control with the stabilization of the chim- ney draught. The fire grate should always be kept clean.

16. After the heating season, it is recommended to have the equipment in-

spected by an expert. It is also advisable to clean the routes of flue gases and pipes.

17. Should repairs or reconditioning be needed, please, contact your dealer in a

timely manner with the accurate specification of the article and serial num- ber. Only original Wamsler parts may be used.

18. As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is

located, ensure that sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the win- dows and external doors. Make sure that 4 m

of air should be provided to each kW of rated performance. For this fireplace, it means that the room has to be at least 20 m in volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured by opening air connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm

19. Ensure to keep proper lateral and rear distances from combustible parts and

materials. The associated values are specified in these user instructions or the model plate.

20. The fireplace may not be modified.

21. The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effec-

tive height of the chimney is less than 4 m, or 5 m with multiple loading. To the chimney that the fireplace uses, a maximum of two other fireplaces, ov- ens may be connected.

22. In the event of any chimney fire, immediately close all the openings of the

equipment, and call the fire service. Never try to extinguish the fire with wa- ter. Thereafter, always have the chimney inspected by an expert.24

• At the first fire set-up could be a little smoke, but is not dangerous, normal! In this time, please ventilate the room carefully! Warning! Upon the first kindling, smoke and unpleasant smell may be gen- erated. Always ensure the proper ventilation of the room (by opening win- dows and doors), and heat the fireplace at maximum rated heating perform- ance. If with the first heating the maximum temperature is not reached, the above-mentioned effects may as well arise later on.

• Before installation pull out the delivery securer off the refractory brick through the furnace chamber (picture no. 6). Open the door by raising the handle (Picture 2). If the equipment is hot, you can use insulated gloves. Adjust the primary air regulator and the fuel switch (Picture 3) ac- cording to the Table 2. Put coal lighter or wood wool onto the fire grate, followed by wood chips. First insert small pieces of wood, and then larger ones, light them and close the door again. When the wood burns quickly, and leaves sufficient glowing embers, put additional fuel on the fire. Thereafter, adjust the primary air regulator and the fuel switch according to the Table 2 („Adjustment”). The first kindling should be performed “finely” with little fuel only, so that the parts of the fireplace are adapted to heat. During the first kindling, the generation of smell is normal and absolutely undan- gerous. Fuel Setting of the fuel selector “A”

1.3 Putting out of operation

• Let the glowing ember burn to ashes and the fire-place get cold.

• Empty the furnace chamber and the ash bin.

• Close the doors, and shut off the primary air regulator and the fuel switch.

1.4 Heating instructions

The fireplace should be operated only with closed furnace chamber door. Fireplaces belonging to type 1 have self-locking furnace chamber doors. These doors may be opened only for kindling, loading or when cleaning the furnace chamber (otherwise draught problems may occur with other equipment connected to the same chimney). Warning! When opening the furnace chamber door, any incorrect handling or insufficient draught may induce smoke. Always ensure that the furnace chamber door may be opened only slowly, first just to a small extent, and then fully after a few sec- onds. In addition, if you intend to put additional fuel into the fire, before the opening of the door only there may be only ember bed in the burning space, i.e. no flames may be visible. Led into the burning space in correspondence with the existing conditions, the secon- dary air provides for the follow-up burning of the combustible components of in the burning space. This in fact means smoke and soot-poor burning, which contributes to the protection of the environment. If you wish to commission the fireplace in a transi- tional period, please, please first examine the chimney draught, as it can be especially weak at high external temperatures. Towards this end, hold a burning match in the slightly opened feeding door. If the flame is not drawn significantly by the draught, then a so-called starting fire is to be set first. Towards this end, burn wood chips/wool in the fireplace or the cleaning hole of the chimney. The fire grate is to be cleaned before every kindling to ensure the proper inflow of air for burning. The ashtray is to be emptied regularly (Figure 4). Should the equipment be extremely hot, use the gloves provided. Please, be careful not to dispose glowing materials into the waste bin. Ensure that the ashtray should be fully pushed into the equipment. Warning! In order to keep the air clean and safeguard the fireplace, do not ex- ceed the specified maximum fuel quantity; otherwise overheating may occur, which potentially damage the equipment. Such damage is not covered with any guarantee. Only a single layer of fuel is allowable to be prepared in the fireplace. Try to reach lower heating performance only by decreasing the quantity of fuel, and not by cutting the primary air supply.28

1.5 Cleaning and maintenance

After the heating season, it is recommended to clean the fireplace and the flue gas pipes carefully. Any dropping heating performance is almost always the consequence of the strong contamination of the flues. For cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 6+7) is to be pulled forward. This way, the flues can be cleaned from the inside or – after removing the flue gas pipe – from above. After cleaning, the baffle plate (Picture 6+7) is be pushed back fully again. Warning! Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thoroughly. If any repair or reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer in a timely manner, and specify the model number and serial number of your equipment (as seen on the model plate). External surfaces may be maintained only after the fireplace cooled down, and following the first commissioning. Use cold water for cleaning, or soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases, then wipe it dry. Before its first use, clean the ROBAX inspection glass with a wet and clean cloth, and then put a few drops of glass–ceramics cleaner onto both sides of the glass, and spread them with the use of kitchen paper tissues. It provides an invisible film on the valuable surface of the Robax glass. This film helps to keep the glass clean, and facilitates regular clean- ing operations. ROBAX S for slightly contaminated surfaces – a commercially avail- able glass surface cleaning agent – may as well be used for the cleaning of the me- dium or strongly contaminated glass surfaces of the fireplace. Towards this end, spray small quantities of the agent to the cold surfaces, spread it, and wash it down with a wet cloth, followed by drying with a clean, soft cloth. In case there are sticky fuel de- posits on these surfaces, first scale simply them with a ceramic-plate scraper held in flat angle, and then clean the surfaces as described above. Cleaning of the ceramic surfaces dirt and grease are to be removed with soap and water. Cleaning of the soapstone and sandstone: the soapstone is a natural stone, there- fore minor colour differences may occur; as it is normal, they may not serve as a basis for quality complaints! To clean the soapstone from dirt and fat with water and soap, as well as small scratches, use sand paper (grain size 240).

Warning: Under no circumstances you may use sponge, scouring, aggressive

or scratching cleaning agents! If the grate is blocked so that the equipment cannot serve the intended function, the grate is to be removed for cleaning.29

1.6 Potential problems and how to tackle them

Kind of operating problem Possible reasons Solution Odour formation Curing of the applied pre- ventive lacquer. Steaming oil remains. Operate the fire-place on a low heating level according to the instructions manual for a few hours. Then heat up for maximal performance for a few hours. Too little heating per- formance

We chose too little performance

• Chimney draught is slight

Have the heating re- quirement of the room examined by an expert

• Chimney draught shall be at least 12 Pa, max. 18 Pa.

• Check the tightness of your chimney and also that the doors of other fire-places leading to the same chimney are closed and sealed properly. Make sure that the chimney- cleaning joints are sealed properly.

Too long and leaky smoke tube

All the smoke tube joints must be well sealed and fireproof- isolated

Leakage at the door glass

Check the sealing, close the door properly. May have to have the tightening flap re- newed.

Use well dried wood only. Actions to be in chimney fire Chimney fire may occur upon the improper cleaning of the chimney, the use of inap- propriate fuels (e.g. excessively wet wood) or the inadequate setting of the burning air. In such cases, close the burning air at the fire, and call the fire service. Never try to extinguish the fire with water!31

For setting purposes and connection to the chimney, the fire protection require- ments as prescribed in the given locations, as well as standards DIN 4705, DIN 18896, DIN 18160, EN 13384, EN 1856-2 and EN 15287 should be complied with. For the problem-free functioning of the equipment, the chimney that the fireplace is to be connected to has to be in perfect conditions (mainly Germany).

2.2 Place of installation

As the air needed for burning is drawn from the room where the fireplace is located, ensure that sufficient air supply is received via the gaps by the windows and external doors. Make sure that 4 m

of air should be provided to each kW of rated perform- ance. For this fireplace, it means that the room has to be at least 20 m in volume. If the room is smaller, sufficient air supply can be secured by opening air connections to other rooms with air openings (at least 150 cm

All the combustible materials, furniture or e.g. decoration materials that are in the close environment of the fireplace should be protected from the heat. Furnishing in the radiation area Keep a minimal distance of 80 cm (A) between the front edge of the fireplace and the combustible equipment, furniture or e.g. decoration materials in the building. The se- curity distance can be reduced to 40 cm (B) if a heat shield is placed in front of the object to be protected (see example in Picture 8). Furnishing beyond the radiation area The walls beside and behind the fireplace may not be made of combustible materials, and they cannot be covered with such materials if the distance on the sides is under 30 cm, or 20 cm on the rear side. Similarly, the distance to wooden and plastic furni- ture on the sides should be at least 30 cm (see Picture 9).

pic. 8 pic. 932 Floor in front of and under the fireplace Floors made from combustible materials, such as carpets, parquet floors or cork is to be protected by a shield of non-combustible material – for example ceramics, stone, glass or steel – placed under the fireplace so that it should reach out to 50 cm in front and 30 cm besides.

2.4 Connection of the fireplace

Before connecting the fireplace to the chimney, seek advice from the competent chimney sweeper! The connecting elements should be attached to the equipment and to each other in a properly sealed and stable manner. They may not hang into the unobstructed cross- section of the chimney. The interconnecting piece between the chimney and the fire- place should be of the same cross-section size as the pipe stub of the fireplace. Hori- zontal connecting pieces should ascend to the chimney in 10°. Pipes that are not heat-protected or not led vertically may not be longer than 1 m. There should be a minimum distance of 40 cm kept between the connection pieces of the fireplace and combustible materials in the building. Provided that the interconnect- ing pieces have a non-combustible coating of minimum 2 cm, the distance from com- bustible materials may be at least 10 cm. If the interconnecting pieces are led through equipment or furnishing made from combustible materials, they have to be covered with a protecting tube made from any non-combustible material in a distance of at least 20 cm, or they have to be coated with any non-combustible material with low heat conductance in a minimum range of 20 cm. Smaller distances to combustible materials are permissible if it is ensured that at the rated performance of the fireplace the temperature cannot rise over 85°C at the com- bustible equipment and furnishings.

The connection of the fireplace to the chimney is not permissible if the effective height of the chimney is less than 4 m, or 5 m with multiple loading (see the details of chim- ney calculations on 3.). To the chimney that the fireplace uses, a maximum of two other fireplaces, ovens may be connected.

The fireplace can usually be connected to the chimney with an angle pipe With weak chimney draught, the fireplace is to be connected to the chimney through a vertical flue gas pipe facilitating dis- charge.33

Lower as the top of the roof

Tightening cross section of the chimney because the smoke tube is pushed

into the chimney too much

Obstruction because the smoke tubes are led as facing each other

aulty draught because a fire-place’s door (not in use) is open False air because of an open tube joint False air because of a leaky tube joint

2.5 Outside air intake

For this equipment combustion air can also be added from the outside. It makes installation easier in houses with passive and low energy consumption if the venti- lation in the living quarters is controlled. Connection is possible through a tube with a diameter of 100 mm. The combustion air supply pipe has to be equipped with a stop-cock close to the stove. Of course, heating is also possible with the air of the room – see: Item 2.2 (Germany). The stoves use room air for combustion, and a sufficient supply of combustion air is therefore essential. The air pressure in the room of installation must not be negative. Please observe the relevant technical rules / regulations and any addi- tional information when operating your appliance in combination with air condi- tioning systems (for ex. ventilation systems, exhauster hoods, pneumatic con- veyor systems etc.). outside air intake Ø 98 mm35

How to connect the Ø 120 mm rear pipe:

1. Remove the top flue pipe stub and the backside cover plate.

2. Mount the rear closing cap of the flue opening tightly on the top.

3. Place the supplied coating plate (see ash-box) on it.

4.Tightly screw the flue pipe stub on the backside. How to connect the Ø 150 mm rear pipe:

1. Remove the top flue pipe stub and the backside cover plate.

2. Mount the rear closing cap of the flue opening tightly on the top.

3. Place the supplied coating plate (see ash-box) on it.

4. Before doing the backside assembly, fix the adapter on the flue pipe stub with the

screw provided and then firmly tighten the screws on the backside. Suggestion: Drive in the retainer screws of the flue pipe on the back up to 3 mm first and then tighten them firmly (maybe with the adapter fitted) only after putting on the flue pipe stub.
