Attention Check the stove before installation to ensure that there has been no damage to the functional parts (air regulators, seals, door, chimney connector, etc.) during transportation. If you have noticed damage, please contact our customer service. The stove must not be modified in any way. Disposal of packaging The packaging protects the stove from damage during transportation. The packaging materials can be recycled. The wooden parts of the packaging can be used as firewood.
Your stove can be equipped with a connection for the external air supply. The required direct air kit is available. In a room with controlled ventilation, the stove can be a connected to an air supply from the outside. In that case additional pressure monitoring in the room is required. The stove has been built with a self closing door mechanism.
3. Installation of the Stove and the flue pipe connection 3.1. Flue pipe connection All flue pipe that is used to connect the stove to the chimney must comply with national regulations. All connections from the stove into the chimney must be firm and tightly connected. Be careful that flue pipe does not enter into the free section of the chimney. Maintain the correct distances specified by building regulations between the flue pipe and combustible material.
3.3 Minimum distances to combustibles A 1350mm Model Harmony with the 90° rotation. In the area of thermal radiation B 200mm Back space between the wall and stove C 200mm Side space between the wall and stove 4. Technical specifications Stove Model Harmony Nominal Output (Wood / Solid Fuel) 7.1 kW / 4.3kW Efficiency 80% (net) Weight 128 kg Mean flue gas temperature 288 ºC Flue gas mass flow 5.
5. General information about the working of the stove Always use a glove Do not use any flammable liquid fluids for lighting the fire. The door of the firebox should be opened only when adding fuel, apart from leaving the door slightly ajar during the lighting phase. Use only suitable fuels (see section 5.2.). Check that there is enough fresh air coming into the room. Stoves should only be used by adults.
6. The door should only be opened again when the fuel has burned right down and you want to put new fuel in. If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
5.2. Suitable materials for lighting The stove should be used for the combustion of natural wood, wood briquettes and brown coal briquettes. Some of the best wood for the stove is beech and birch. These types of wood have the highest burn temperature, and they burn the cleanest, as long as they have been stored in a dry place for a sufficient length of time. If the glass window blackens excessively during burning it is usually an indication that the moisture content of the firewood is too high.
5.4 Rotating the stove Rotating stoves can be rotated up to 90° when there are no obstructions around the stove. Pay special attention to the necessary security distances to combustible and / or load-bearing walls, and to combustible furnishings. Picture 2: security lock against unintentional twisting of the stove. The turning procedure must be carried out when the stove is cold.
5.6 Instructions on how to access the flue through the stove Ensure clean fire box. Lift the throat plate from the retaining brackets and carefully remove. Lift and remove the deflector plate. You can now sweep through the stove. To replace the fire bricks, please repeat steps 1 – 3 in reverse. In the case of chimney fire If the wrong or unseasoned wood is used, it is possible that a chimney fire can occur due to the accumulation of deposits inside the chimney.
5.7 Layout and usage of air regulators 6. Malfunction and service In the event of a product malfunction please contact your supplier. If the stove is under warranty your supplier will take care of the warranty claim. Regular maintenance of the stove and flue should be carried out by a competent engineer. Use only replacement parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
7. Common fault finding Please be aware that in the event of your stove not performing properly, you should always consult your installer first or a qualified professional.
Weather conditions may affect your stove causing smoke spillage into the room when the appliance door is opened. On windy days this maybe a result of down draught, or on calm days, this could be lack of natural flue draught. We recommend contacting your installer for advice. Always ensure use of good quality wood at 10-20% moisture content during light up, and to maintain the fire. 8. Warranty The warranty cover is effective from when the unit is handed over to the buyer.
