The owner of small firing systems or the person authorised for the small
firing system is to keep the technical documentation and is to submit it to the
authorities or the chimney sweep on request.
Note
Please observe the national and European standards as well as local
regulations concerning the installation and operation of firing installations!
Packaging
Your first impression is important to us!
The packaging of your new stove provides excellent protection against damage.
However damage to the stove and accessories may still occur during transport.
Note
Therefore please check your stove on receipt for damage and completeness!
Report any deficiencies to your dealer immediately! Pay particular attention
during unpacking that the stone panels remain intact. Scratches to the
material can easily occur. Stone panels are excluded from the warrant.
The packaging of your new stove is environmentally neutral to a great extent.
Tip
The wood used in the packaging has not been surface treated and may
therefore be burnt in your woodburning stove (not in a pelletstove!). The
cardboard and film (PE) can be depolluted via the municipal waste collection
for recycling.
Electrical connection (RIKATRONIC3)
The stove is supplied with an approx. 2m long connecting cable with a Euro-
plug. This cable is to be connected to a 230Volt/50Hz socket. The average
electrical power consumption is about 4 Watt in heating operation. The
connection cable must be laid in a way that there is no contact to any sharp
edges or hot surfaces of the stove.

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General warning and safety information
Observance of the introductory general warning information is imperative.
Q Read the entire manual thoroughly before installing and putting the stove into
service. Observe the national provisions and laws as well as the regulations
and rules applicable locally.
Q RIKA stoves should only be installed in rooms with normal humidity (dry
areas according to VDE 0100 Part 200). The furnaces are not splash water
protected and may not be installed in wet areas.
Q Only approved transport equipment with sufficient load carrying capacity
may be used with your heating appliance.
Q Your heating appliance is not suitable for use as a ladder or stationary
scaffolding.
Q The burning of fuel releases heat energy that lead to extensive heating of
the stove surfaces, doors, door and operating handles, glass, flue pipes
and possibly the front wall. Refrain from touching these parts without
appropriate protective clothing or equipment e.g. heat-resistant gloves or
means of operation (operating handle).
Q Make your children aware of this particular danger and keep them away from
the stove during heating.
Q Only burn approved heating materials.
Q The combustion or introduction of highly flammable or explosive materials
such as empty spray cans etc. in the combustion chamber and storing them
near the stove is strictly prohibited due to the danger of explosion.
Q No light or inflammable clothing is to be worn when post-heating.
Q Use the heat-resistant gloves supplied to open the doors of your stove.
Q Only use suitable tools from our range of accessories when handling embers
and make sure that no embers fall out of the combustion chamber onto
inflammable material.
Q Push the embers together to form a firebed when you add new fuel (logs).
Q Placing non-heat resistant objects on the stove or near it is prohibited.
Q Do not place clothing on the stove to dry.
Q Laundry racks etc. must be placed at a sufficient distance to the stove –
ACUTE DANGER OF FIRE!
Q When your stove is burning, the use of highly inflammable and explosive
materials in the same or adjacent rooms is prohibited.
Note
Waste and liquids may not be burnt in the stove!
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components,
do never cover the convection fins!
Note
Your stove will expand and contract during the heating and cooling phase.
This can sometimes lead to slight bending or cracking noises. This is normal
and is no reason for a complaint.
First heating
The stove body, just as various steel parts, cast iron parts and the flue pipes
are painted with a heat resistant paint. During the first heating the paint dries
out completely. This may cause a slight smell. Touching or cleaning the painted
surfaces during the curing should be avoided. The hardening of the paint is
finished after the first heating with high power.
Safety distances
Note
1. To non-combustible objects
a > 40 cm, b > 10 cm
2. To combustible objects and reinforced concrete load-bearing walls
a > 80 cm, b > 20 cm
Tip
Please observe a minimum distance of 20 cm behind and sideways the stove
for maintenance.
8
Prior to set up
Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the stove prior
to set-up.
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation. This also leads to loss
of warranty and guarantee.
Floor protection
A glass, sheet steel or ceramic plate is required, if the floor is combustible
(wood, carpet, etc.).
Flue pipe connection
Q Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks and
fire. Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for the layout and
assembly.
Q Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls panelled
with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove.
Q Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
when the weather is unfavourable.
Q Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
Q If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
Q Suitable for multiple occupancy. (Note the different country regulations.)
Q These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door closed.
Q The combustion chamber door may only be opened to add fuel and must
then be closed again otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
Q The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the stove is not
in operation.
Q Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly inflammable materials such as
soot and tar and subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if wet fuel is
used and operation is damped too much.
Q If this occurs, close the fresh air support (slider, regulator, flaps - depending
on model)! Disconnect the mains plug at the stoves type Rikatronic.
Phone the fire brigade and get yourself and other residents out of harm’s
way.
Note
The size of the combustion chamber door makes it necessary, particularly
with post-heating when ablaze, not to open the door too abruptly to prevent
the tips of the flames reaching out.
Note
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Combustion chamber door without a locking mechanism:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air dependent stove according to EN
13240 and takes all the combustion air from the installation room via the
central air intake on the back of the stove.
In combination with room-air installations (e.g. controlled ventilation
and venting systems (extractors etc.) it must be ensured that the stove
and the room air system are monitored and safeguarded mutually (e.g.
via a differential pressure controller etc.). The combustion air infeed of
approx. 20 m3/h must be ensured.
Combustion chamber door with a locking mechanism:
Only in case of the airtight connecting of the air supply line and flue pipes
the stove is certificated for FC41x (for the LAS system) and FC51x models
the approval principles for the inspection and evaluation of ambient air
independent fireplaces specified by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik
(DIBT) (German Institute for Building Technology) and the draft standard
“Requirements for testing ambient air independence, Part 1: Room heaters”
of the FNH standards committee (dated February 2004). The stove may
be operated in air-tight rooms and in rooms with room-air installations (e.g.
controlled ventilation and venting systems, extractors etc.)
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in consultation with
your master chimney sweep. For changes after the printing of this manual, we
can not assume any liability. We reserve the right to change without notice.

3. BRIEF INFORMATION ON COMBUSTIBLE - LOGS
Suitable fuels and fuel amounts
Your stove is generally suitable for burning dry firewood. You can also burn
combustibles such as wood briquettes.
Note
A stove is not a waste incinerator. The warranty lapses if waste or non-
approved materials such as plastic, treated wood (chipboard), coals or
clothes are burnt! This leads to damage to the stove and chimney and to
environmental pollution!
Note
FUEL AMOUNTS
The stove is fitted with a construction-specific flat firebox. This means only
one layer of logs may be laid on the base embers.
Please observe that adding greater quantities of logs leads to emission of
high temperatures, higher than the stove is designed for. This may cause
damage to your stove. This is reflected in particular on the glass of the
combustion chamber door, which will get a gray haze in case of overheating
the stove, which can not be removed.
Wood types
Different types of wood have different calorific values. Wood from deciduous
trees is particularly suitable. It burns with a constant flame and forms long-
lasting embers. Coniferous wood has higher levels of resin and burns off faster
as do all softwoods and tends to spray sparks.

Output controlling
The output of your stove is regulated manually or via the Rikatronic-control.
Please observe that the output of your stove also depends on the chimney
draught and the amount of fuel added.
Clean combustion
1. The firewood must be dry and untreated.
The should-be value is between 14 % and 18 % relative wood moisture.
Wood has to be stored dry and ventilated for 2–3years.
2. Correct firewood amount and size:
Q Too much firewood leads to overheating. This can damage your stove and
increases the exhaust emission values.
Q If you take too little firewood or if the logs you place are too large the stove
will not reach the optimum operating temperature. The flue gas values also
increase in this case.
Q For right quantity of firewood see AMOUNT OF FUEL.

4. INSTALLING THE STOVE
General information
Note
Assembly may only be performed by authorised specialist companies.
Note
Please observe the regional safety and building regulations. Please contact
your master chimney sweep in this context.
Note
Only use heat-resistant sealing materials as well as corresponding sealing
strips, heat-resistant silicon and rock wool.
Note
Also take care that the flue does not project into the free cross-section of
the chimney.
Note
In case of room-air independent operation the stove pipe connections must
be tightly sealed permanently. Use a heat-proof silicon to position the stove
pipe on the conical supports of the flue tube nozzles and for insertion in the
chimney flue lining.
Note
The stove should not be pushed on unprotected floors.
Tip
Strong corrugated cardboard, cardboard or e.g. old carpet is useful to assist
assembly and as a base. The stove can also be pushed on this cardboard
or carpet.
We recommend original flue pipes from RIKA for proper connection.
Connection to the chimney
Q The device must be connected to a flue that is approved for solid fuels and
is insensitive to moisture. The moisture insensitivity may vary if the flue
calculation results in a dry operation. The chimney must have a diameter of
min. 100 mm for pellet stoves and 130 mm -150 mm for log wood stoves
depending on the diameter of the flue pipes.
Q Avoid long flue pipes to the chimney. The horizontal length of the flue pipe
should not exceed 1.5metres.
Q Avoid to many bends of the flue gas pipes. There should not be more than
3bends in the exhaust pipe.
Q Please use a connection with a cleaning opening.
Q Connections must be made of metal and must meet the requirements of the
standard (install the connections airtight).
Q Before installing a chimney calculation must be made. The evidence must be
performed for single occupancy to EN13384-1 and EN13384-2 for multiple
occupancy.
Q The maximum draft of the chimney should not exceed 15 Pa.
Q The derivation of the flue gases must be guaranteed even during a temporary
power outage.
Note
If connecting to multiple connection chimneys and depending on country
regulations, additional safety equipment is required. Your local chimney
sweep will advise you in this case.
Note
Be sure to prevent condensed water from entering via the flue connection. You
may need to have a condensate ring installed - ask your chimney sweeping
expert for more information. Damages caused by condensate are excluded
from manufacturer’s warranty.
Connecting to a steel chimney
The connection must be calculated and shown with EN13384-1
and EN13384-2.
Use only insulated (double) stainless steel tubes (flexible aluminum or steel
tubes are not permitted).
An inspection door for regular inspection and cleaning must be present.
The flue pipe connection to the chimney has to be air-tight.
Combustion air
Every combustion process requires oxygen from the surrounding air. This so-
called combustion air is removed from the living are in the case of individual
stoves without external air connections.
This air removed must be replaced in the living space. Very tightly sealed
windows and doors in modern flats may mean that too little air replaces that
used. The situation also becomes problematical due to additional venting in
flats (e.g. in the kitchen or WC). If you cannot feed in external combustion air,
then air the room several times a day to prevent negativce pressure in the room
or poor combustion.
Feeding in external combustion air
only for devices which are able to run in room-air independent operation.
Q Combustion air must be fed to the stove from outside via a sealed pipe
for operation independent of the room air. According to EnEV, it must be
possible to shut off the combustion air pipe. The open/closed setting must
be clearly recognisable.
Q Connect at the air intake either a pipe Ø 125 mm for log wood and combi
stoves, or Ø 50 mm or Ø 60 mm for pellet stoves. Fix it with a hose clamp
(not included!). At pellet stoves with longer intake pipes than 1m the
diameter should be increased to 100 mm. (see RIKA range).
Q To ensure sufficient air intake, the intake pipe should not exceed max.
4metres and have max. 3bends.
Q If the line leads outside it must have a windbreak.
Q In extreme cold pay attention to icing on the air intake opening (check).
Q It is also possible to suction in combustion air directly from another
sufficiently vented room (e.g. cellar).
Q The combustion air pipe must be tightly connected (adhesive or cement)
permanently to the air nozzles of the stove.
Q If you do not use the stove for a long time, please close the combustion air
intake to prevent the stove from moisture.
Note
Please note that problems may arise due to updrafts in the case of
combustion air supply from an integrated chimney ventilation shaft. If the
combustion air flowing downwards is heated it may rise and thus counter
the chimney with a resistance which in turn reduces the negative pressure
in the combustion chamber. The chimney manufacturer is to guarantee that
the resistance for the combustion air is a maximum 2 Pa even in the least
favourable operating state of the chimney.
If one or more of these conditions does NOT apply, the result is poor combustion in the
stove and negative pressure in the installation room.

5. ASSEMBLY/ DISASSEMBLY STONE AND OPTIONS
Note
Only perform manipulation of the unit when the mains plug of the stove has
been disconnected (RIKATRONIC3) and the stove has cooled down completely.
Note
Take special care of your fingers and all stove panels and stove attachments
during any conversion work. Select soft bases to prevent scratches to your
living space furniture and stove panels.
Retrofitting to flue pipe connection rear
Lift the stone cover off
Now lift off the two smaller stone covers.
Remove the cover to the cover plate at the rear wall.
Swap the flue connections and the cover plate.
Assembly the stone sections again in reverse order and then insert the new,
round, stone cover section (must be ordered optionally).
12
6. OPERATION - RIKATRONIC3
Note
For stoves with RIKATRONIC3 System (electronic air flap control) a flue pipe
with optional “lockable damper flap” must be always open during heating!
RISK OF FIRE!
Operating the riddle grate
(only stoves with riddle grate)
The ash is moved from the combustion chamber to the ash drawer by pushing
the riddle grate handle back and forth. This frees the way for the primary air
intake which is necessary for heating up.
In general the riddle grate should stay open.
RIKA firelighter
Always ignite the RIKA firelighter on the red tip. One block consists out of 8 ribs
which can be divided to the desired size. The amount of RIKA firelighters also
depends on the size and humidity of your firewood. Ideally, one rib is enough
to light up the fire.
Tip
You can order the RIKA firelighter with the number E15834 at your RIKA
dealer.
Heating instructions
Preparation
Plug in the mains plug and activate the main switch at the rear of the stove. The
main switch now lights upgreen. The display at the front of the stove also
lights up green for approx. 10 secs. and then flashes intermittently red
until the air flap motor reference run has been completed.
Correct heating up
One the reference run has been completed and the display is constantly red,
open the combustion chamber door and sweep the ashes into the ashtray.
Place left and right 2 small pieces of chipboard lengthways in the bottom of the
combustion chamber and open the riddle grate completely.
Place 2 – 3 smaller (highly flammable) logs crossways on top of this chipboard.
Now place further pieces of chipboard in crossways layers on top of the
logs and ideally you should place 2-4 ribs of the RIKA-firelighter on top of the
chipboard. Some uncoated paper can be placed underneath the chipboard in
case there is no firelighter available.
Now light the firelighter (or the uncoated paper) and close the combustion
chamber door. Correct heating up primarily counteracts excessive smoke
during heating up.
Heating up
Fill amount for heating up: 2 - 3 logs of max. total 2.5kg
As soon as the combustion chamber temperature exceeds 80°C, the display
changes to green (if the display does not change to green within10 min of
closing the combustion chamber door, then the heating up procedure has failed,
i.e. the required combustion chamber temperature of 80°C was not exceeded).
Once the display has changed to green, the burn-off control of the heating-
up starts. The heating-up phase takes approx. 60 min depending on the
temperature and fill amount. This time is required to obtain a suitable bed of
embers.
The display changing from green to red flashing indicates the right time to
add wood.
|13
EN
12
Adding wood
Fill amount for heating up: 2 logs of max. total 2.5kg, depending on requirements.
The red flashing phase varies depending on the ambient influences between 5
and 10 min. If the combustion chamber door is opened, the display changes
to green flashing.
If the temperature increase is sufficient (wood added and lit), the display
changes to constantly green (the RIKATRONIC3 starts the burn-off control).
If an increase in temperature in not detected, the display changes, depending
on combustion chamber temperature, to the status prior to adding wood,
either to red flashing orto constantly red.
Burn out
If no more wood is added during the red flashing phase, the display changes
to constantly red. No more logs may be added from this point since ignition of
any logs added cannot be ensured. The stove must be heated up again.
ECO operation
If the room to be heated and the stove are already at temperature, continued
operation with lower heat output and log addition is possible.
Fill amount in ECO operation: 2 logs in total approx. 1.5kg
If the Eco key is pressed when adding wood (after closing the combustion
chamber door), the display changes to yellow flashing and Eco operation is
activated.
This operating mode also regulates the burn off with lower heat output to the
optimum.
If the Eco key is pressed again or the combustion chamber door is opened, the
display changes from yellow back to green and normal operation is activated
again.
Complete closing of the air flaps
The RIKATRONIC3 has a safety device that prevents the air flaps closing
completely during heating operation (hazard of deflagration). However the air
flaps can be closed completely with a sequence of ECO key and opening and
closing the combustion chamber door to stop the existing draught on stove
standstill.
Q Ensure that the stove has cooled down, is switched off and that the
combustion chamber door is closed
Q Plug in the mains plug and activate the main switch at the rear of the stove
Q Wait until the reference run has been completed and the display lamp is
constantly red
Q Now depress the ECO key for 5 sec with the combustion chamber door
closed until the display changes to yellow flashing
Q Open and close the combustion chamber door, the display is now constantly
yellow
Q The depress the Eco key again for 5 sec until a click is heard and the air
flaps close completely
As soon as the air flaps reach end position, the display goes off and the stove
can be switched off and the mains plug disconnected.
Power failure
In the event of a power failure the air regulation flap remains unchanged until the
fire goes out (no display). If mains voltage is available again after a brief power
failure, the display lights up as on start for 10 sec green and then changes to
red flashing due to the repeat reference run of the air flap motor.
If the temperature of the stove is still more than 80°C, the display changes and
the control system changes to the respective status. If the stove cools back
down during the power failure, the display changes to constantly red
Manual regulation

Manual operation may only be performed with the unit switched off. Any other
procedure than that stated below may cause damage to components and
inevitably leads to loss of warranty.
Q Switch the stove off at the main switch and disconnect the mains plug.
Q Insert the socket spanner supplied sufficiently far into the sleeve as shown.
Turning clockwise opens the air flaps; anti-clockwise closes them.
Q Turn the socket spanner first to heating-up position (open until a stop is
detected).
Q Turn the socket spanner gradually anti-clockwise after the heating-up phase
to control the air intake and thus the burn-off manually.
Note
Always ensure that the stove is supplied with sufficient air for combustion;
otherwise increased smoke development may occur.

7. MANUAL OPERATION
Operating the riddle grate
(only stoves with riddle grate)
The ash is moved from the combustion chamber to the ash drawer by pushing
the riddle grate handle back and forth. This frees the way for the primary air
intake which is necessary for heating up.
In general the riddle grate should stay open. The air regulation is made
completely with the control knob at the rear wall.
Combustion air regulation
The control knob for combustion air regulation is situated on the rear wall.
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney draught; therefore
the control knob must be used according to your own experience.
zero setting
0% secondary air
0% primary air
ideal position
33-66% secondary air
0% primary air
middle position
100% secondary air
0% primary air
Heating-up position
100% secondary air
100% primary air
The “Heating-up position“ may only be used for heating up.
Note
The air control seals to 100%. Complete closing of the air regulator (zero
setting of control knob) during operation poses a hazard of deflagration
and is strictly prohibited.
A stop to prevent inadvertent closing of the air intake has been integrated for
safety reasons.
If the stove is not in use, warm air can release through the chimney. The Zero
position of the control knob can prevent this. To prevent air intake completely,
the control knob must be pressed back slightly, only then the zero position can
be set and the air regulator thus be closed.
Note
Sometimes a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a low firebed or
when there is too less fresh air for combustion. An explosive gas/air mixture
may arise and cause an eventual heavy deflagration. For safety reasons it is
recommended to leave the combustion chamber door closed and press the
control knob at the rear wall down completely into “heating-up position”. If the
log wood is not igniting, start a new heating-up procedure after it stopped
smoking.
Correct heating up
1. Press the control knob down into “Heating-up position” – primary and
secondary air intakes are opened completely. Open the combustion chamber
door and sweep the ashes into the ashtray. Then open the riddle grate
completely (only stoves with riddle grate).
Place 2 small pieces of chipboard lengthways left and right in the bottom of the
combustion chamber.
Place 2 logs crossways on top of this chipboard.
2. Now place further pieces of chipboard in crosswise layers on top of the logs
and place 2-4 ribs of the RIKA-firelighter on the left on top of the chipboard.
Some uncoated paper can be placed underneath the chipboard in case there is
no firelighter available.
3. Now light the firelighter (or the uncoated paper) and close the combustion
If the combustible is well lit, set the control knob to middle position some
minutes later. The primary air intake is now closed and the secondary air
intake is completely open. The control knob can be set to ideal position (see
COMBUSTION AIR REGULATION) another few minutes later (depending on
draught and fuel quality / amount).
After the first burn-off, again add 2 logs (see AMOUNT OF FUEL). Set the control
knob to “Heating-up position” again until the wood is well lit. Further regulation
is effected as described in Item 3.
Please proceed in the same way for every further addition of wood.

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Basic information
Note
Your stove must be switched off and cooled before any maintenance work is
performed. Ensure that you do not vacuum into the combustion air line during
heating operation during any cleaning (vacuuming). You could vacuum out
embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Only work on the unit when the mains plug has been disconnected.
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the maintenance
intervals depend on the fuel you use. High moisture content, ash, dust and
chips may more than double the maintenance required. Only use wood that has
been stored properly and is dry and untreated.
Tip
Wood as fertiliser - The mineral content of the wood remains in the combustion
chamber as ash as a residue of the combustion. This is an excellent fertiliser
for all plants in the garden; it is a completely natural product. The ash should
be stored first and extinguished with water.
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers.
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly. The ash drawer is simply pulled forward with
the combustion chamber door open
Cleaning the door glass
The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth. Stubborn dirt can be removed
with a special cleaner (free from corrosive acids and solvents - otherwise there
is a risk of damage to the glass surface) available from your stove dealer.
Checking door seal
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at least 1 x per
year. Repair or replace seals depending on condition.
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly.
Cleaning of painted surfaces
Wipe of the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub. Do not use
solvent-containing cleaners.
Cleaning the flame temperature sensor
(only type RIKATRONIC3)
Remove the dust deposits from the sensor at regular intervals. Use a clean
cleaning cloth or newspaper.
Cleaning the convection air openings
Suction off any dust deposits from the convection air openings at regular
intervals.
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the heating season
to prevent excess odour.
Combustion air - air intake
Also clean the air intake if necessary.
Note
Only when the stove is cold and not running!
Cleaning the flue gas channels
(1 x annually)
Remove the flue pipes. Inspect and clean chimney connection. Brush off any
soot and dust deposits in the fire and in the flue pipes and vacuum.
Note
Accumulated fly ash in the flue gas channels may impair the performance of
the stove and pose a safety risk.
