DOOR/SEALING
The friction surfaces of the door hinges and closing device must be treated with graphite
grease from time to time. Before each heating season the whole stove must be inspected and
cleaned. Give special care to checking the sealing for its integrity, and replace it, if necessary.
ASH REMOVAL
Ash should be removed prior to each time you light the stove. To remove the ash, just empty
the ash container located below the fire grate. Regular hearth-ash removal prevents the ash
from spilling out. Do not allow ash to spill over the barrier. Remove the ash from the stove
when it is cold.
SPARE PARTS
If after many years you find exchanging some parts necessary, contact the supplier or any
representa- tive of our company. To order a spare part, submit the information listed in the
rating plate located on the back of the guarantee certificate, which must be kept even when the
guarantee has terminated.
If you have this information, and our factory documentation, the supplier will be able to deliver
all spare parts in a short time.
POSSIBLE IRREGULARITIES DURING THE OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE
During the operation of the appliance there can occur some irregularities which indicate that it
is working improperly. This can be caused either by the incorrect installation of the appliance -
without adhering to the valid construction provisions or the instructions in this Manual, or for
reasons beyond one’s control, e.g. the natural environment.
The next section shows the most-frequent reasons for the incorrect operation of the appliance,
and how to remedy such occurrences.
a)Back-puffing when the door is open:
- the door is opened too abruptly (open the door slowly); slide the primary air damper towards
the closed position
- if a flue damper is fitted as a chimney-draught control, open the flue damper each time you
open the door;
- Insufficient air supply to the room in which the appliance is installed (provide adequate
ventilation in the room or supply air to the combustion chamber in accordance with the
instructions in the Manual, if possible for the right model);
- weather conditions: low pressure, fog and precipitation, sudden temperature changes;
- insufficient chimney draught (have the chimney flue inspected by a chimney sweep).
b) Too-low heating, or the fire goes out:
- too little fuel in the hearth (load the hearth according to the Manual);
- too-high humidity of the wood used for burning (use wood with a humidity of up to 20%); a
large portion of the energy obtained is lost in the process of water evaporation;
- insufficient chimney draught (have the chimney flue inspected by a chimney sweep).
c) Insufficient heating in spite of proper burning in the combustion chamber:
- low-calorific softwood (use wood which meets the guidelines in the Manual);
- too-high humidity of the wood used for burning (use wood with a humidity of up to 20%);
- too fragmented wood, too-thick wood billets:
d) Excessive glass-dirt accumulation:
- low-intensity burning (when burning with a very-low flame, use dry wood fuel only);
- the use of high-resin softwood as fuel (use dry hardwood fuel in compliance with the firebox-
-operation manual).
e) The operation can be affected by weather conditions (air humidity, fog, wind, air pressure),
and sometimes by surrounding tall buildings.
