Operation Manual

3. SAFE OPERATION
3.1. General requirements
While installing and operating stove, it is obligatory to adhere to the fire prevention
regulations (related to this type of devices) in force in the country of installation.
The device is designed for standard environment. In case of any temporary change
establishing any temporary danger of fire or explosion (for example, while installing
linoleum flooring, PVC, painting, etc.) it is crucial to put the heating device out of operation
IN TIME, BEFORE ANY POTENTIAL DANGEROUS SITUATION MAY OCCUR. At the
end of the work, do not start using the fireplace stove again until the room conditions are
brought back to normal (it is recommended to provide fresh air by draught).
3.2. Safe distance between the fireplace stove and flammable material
If you have installed the fireplace stove within the room with flammable objects,
flammability Class B, C1 and C2, the safety distance from the front (or side glass surfaces)
is 800 mm; for the other directions, the safety distance is 200 mm. If the fireplace stove is
installed within a room with flammable objects, flammability class C3, the safety distances
must be doubled. Kindly pay attention to the information provided in Supplement 1. The
most important installation dimensions are shown in the product name plate.
3.3. Safe distance between the smoke flue and flammable material
The safety distance from the door frame lining and similar constructions made of flammable
materials and from pipeline installations, incl. insulating elements is 200 mm (minimum).
The safety distance from the other parts of the constructions made of flammable materials
is minimum 400 mm. This is applied to building materials, flammable Class B, C1 and C2
(see Chart 3). Kindly pay attention to the information provided in Supplement 2. More
accurate classification is available only if testing is performed for the particular product.
3.4. Directions for safe operation
For firing or kindling, never use any flammable liquid! It is forbidden to burn any plastic
material, wooden material combined with chemicals (chipboard, etc.) or domestic
(unsorted) refuse containing plastic, etc.
The fireplace stove must be operated by adults only! Never allow children in the
room unattended. The surface of the fireplace stove is overheated, especially the
glassy components: any contact will cause serious burnt. During the operation,
occasional monitoring is required. For safe operation and handling the regulation elements
and the door closing devices, use the protective glove (a part of the supply). Do not put any
objects or tools on the fireplace stove while in operation or hot: flammable material may
cause fire. Do not put any vessels with cold liquid in the ceramic –tiled fireplace stove while
hot: the tiles may crack!
The ashpan must be manipulated with utmost care. The ash may be very hot so there is
danger of serious burnt. Hot ash must not be in contact with flammable material – for
example, while pouring it into waste container.
The fireplace stove must be operated in compliance with the directions and
recommendations in the Operating Instructions. It is forbidden to modify the
fireplace stove in any way unless approved by the manufacturer.

4. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION TO THE CHIMNEY
Caution! For installation, relevant local regulations must be strictly adhered,
including the regulations related to national and European standards for this type of
device.
4.1. Connection to the chimney or chimney insert
Connection of the fireplace stove to the chimney vent is subjected to approval by specialist
chimney company (CSN 73 4201:2008), or to approval according to relevant regulations in
force in the country where the installation is made. Kindly pay attention to the information
provided in Supplement 2.
To provide proper function and operation, proper chimney effect in the smoke flue
neck is required. For the minimum stack draught, see the Technical Card for the particular
product. Insufficient chimney effect results in malfunction of the fireplace stove, excessive
dirt on the glass, and excessive clogging in the smoke flue system. The general heat
capacity of the device is reduced. If you feed the fire while proper chimney draught is not
provided, flue gases may spread throughout the room. For this reason, it is strictly
recommended to have regular check done by a specialist chimney company and maintain
the heating device regularly. If the chimney effect is too high (over 20 Pa it is recommended
to install a suitable blocking device for example, flue tube with a block). Excessive chimney
draught may cause troublesome operation, for example, too intensive burning, high fuel
consumption, damage on the heating device, etc.
4.2. Connection to the chimney vent
It is recommended to connect the stove to a separate chimney vent. A joint chimney vent
may be used for the connection only if the safety regulations valid in the country of
installation allow doing so. It is forbidden to connect the stove to the same vent used for a
gas appliance. The minimum working height of the vent is 5 m. Depending on local
conditions, it is possible to connect the stove in the vent with a working height under 5 m
providing that the flue way calculation demonstrates that such a height is satisfactory.
Caution! (Provisions CSN 73 42 01: 2008)
The smoke flue vent diameter must not exceed the diameter of the chimney vent; it must
not be narrowed towards the chimney, either. If the calculation demonstrates that the vent
diameter of the smoke flue and chimney can be smaller than the flue neck diameter of the
device, the diameter of the smoke flue will be reduced just after the flue neck of the device,
by means of a short transition or abrupt.
4.3. Directions for smoke flue installation and safety
Connect the smoke outlet neck with the chimney in the shortest possible way so that the
length of the smoke path is no longer than 1.5 m. The smoke pipes and the elbow piece
must be tightly connected, overlapping at least 60 mm. Pay special attention to the fact that
the joints must agree with the flue outflow. The joint between the smoke flue and the smoke
outlet neck must be drilled together and fixed with a rivet or pin; the same is applied for the
