4. Stove installation recommendations
Free standing stoves should always be placed on non-flammable surfaces capable of bearing sufficient loads.
Flammable floors around stoves need to be secured with non-flammable material extending at least 50cm around the
stove. Polish norms dictate one square metre of floor needs to support 150kg of weight. The stoves mass should be
divided on the area it will occupy, and increased by 0,6m in every direction. This means that if the area of the stove is 0,5
x 0,7m, it will dissipate the pressure on an area of (0,6 + 0,5 + 0,6) x (0,6 + 0,7 + 0,6) = 3,23 m². So a stove with an area
of 0,35 m² can weigh at most 484 kg (150 kg/m² x 3,23 m²). That means KAW-MET stoves can be installed without any
extra support to the floors/roofs. However, if the roof construction is not 100% up to code or its condition cannot be
ascertained, or if the extra equipment on or around the stove exceeds the allowed weight, (like installing tiles around the
stove or putting granite plates around it) one should contact the building constructor to strengthen the ceiling or install
a special load dissipating construction.
Stoves shall be installed on the stable pedestal, made of fire-resistant material.

Do not keep any inflammable objects (furniture, curtains etc.) closer than 1m from the stove
5. Operating principle
Open up the primary and secondary air dampers, open the door using the handle. Insert into the burning chamber
rolled paper or special kindling, and then placed in a cone and a few small dry logs. Light the paper and close the door.
When the layer is created plug heat (about 3 cm thick) to load the furnace proper fuel. At the time of loading wood, gently
handle the door. Before adding next charge of wood, always set the damper to the open position,wait approx. 1 min,
and only then you can proceed with opening the stove doors. Do not open the doors too rapidly. First unseal slowly the
doors, wait few seconds, then you can open up the doors. This procedure prevents the escape of smoke to the room
where the fireplace is installed.
Maximum mass of wood, which can be loaded into the stove- see table with stove insert parameters. Keep in mind,
you will achieve best results with wood billets 12 to 15 cm thick.
Adjusting can be done by the air-permeable bolts arranged on a front side of the ash. Users are advised to use
in the few firs hours of operation at low loads about 30 - 50% of nominal load due to excessive thermal stresses that
may lead to the excessive wear and even damage. During the first ten days to mildly use from the furnace to allow the
fireplace to dry completely. When you first fire up the furnace may emit an unpleasant odor. It is caused by the curing of
the adhesive, paint or other preservatives. The burning process should be carried out slowly, while maintaining a gradual
increase in temperature in order not to cause harmful thermal stress. After a period of drying fireplace insert attempt
to do an intensive smoking, which completely eliminate unpleasant odors (they are not toxic). Should ensure adequate
ventilation.
Heating during the transition between seasons or poor weather conditions
During the transition between seasons, that means the outdoor temperature is 15°C or higher, or during poor
weather conditions (for example strong wind etc.) may occur disruption of chimney draft and in result, reversion of flue gas
to the room while the door is opened and also higher fume content in combustion chamber, during normal combustion
process. In such situation, less fuel should be put into the stove and at the same time air intake diaphragms and damper
(if necessary) should be more open. Above procedures should stabilize the chimney draft and the combustion process
(although it may be the case that you will have to charge the stove more often).
In order to reduce the flow resistance of the air, remove ash from the ash pan more frequently.
Once the chimney draft is stabilized, you can gradually reduce the air supply, yet observing the combustion process
to be sure it will not lead to a situation as above.
NOTES:
• Do not overheat the device.
• Do not touch the stove at a time when there is a fire, you should also pay attention to in its vicinity
were not children.
• Do not light the fire too much.
• Air intakes can not be modified in any way.
• Do not remove the burning chamber.

Do not set the stove directly on the floor!
