1. Important information for stove operators

The information in these user instructions is of a general nature. National and European standards,
x
local and building regulations, as well as fire marshal provisions, must be complied with.
These user instructions must be attentively read prior to setting up and using the wood stove, and
x
before any intervention in it. Keep the user instructions carefully stored and ensure that they are
always available next to or near the wood stove.
Compliance with the rules contained herein ensures personal and material safety, economical
x
operation and a long service life. The EN 14785 standard was taken into account for the planning and
design of the wood burner.
No components may be modified or replaced by other parts which are not original equipment
x
manufacturer parts, otherwise the guarantee coverage and usage approval shall be rendered null and
void.
Disconnect the power supply to the wood stove prior to any intervention.
x
Schematics and drawings delivered along with the stove only serve as demonstrative examples; the
x
manufacturer pursues a policy of continuous development and updating of the product and may
undertake changes at any time without prior notification.
All dimensions stated in these user instructions are in mm.
x
ATTENTION: Only authorized Austroflamm service partners are allowed to carry out initial
x
commissioning of the device.
Your heating device is not suited for use as a ladder or support stand.
x
Please note that the surfaces of the pellet stove heat up substantially during operation. Always wear
x
protective gloves when using the pellet stove. Inform children as to the danger and keep them away
from the fire chamber during operation.
You must not burn any kinds of waste or refuse in the pellet stove. You must only ever burn the
x
recommended pellets (see the section entitled 3. Fuel).
Placing non-heat-resistant objects on the heating device or in its vicinity is prohibited.
x
Do not place any laundry items on the stove to dry. Keep laundry racks or similar at a sufficient
x
distance from the heating device Æ fire hazard!
It is prohibited to handle highly flammable and explosive substances in the same or adjacent rooms
x
when operating the heating device.
It must be ensured that adequate combustion air intake and safe exhaust of the fumes is provided for.
x
Therefore you should always check whether there is any blockage in the chimney, especially after a
lengthier operational interruption.
In the period between Autumn and Winter, i.e. when outside temperatures are quite high, a sudden
x
increase in temperature can lead to malfunctions in the chimney flue, which means that the heating gases
are not completely extracted. If this is the case, switch the pellet stove off.
The convection grid may never be closed, not even partially.
x
Venting devices which are operated in the same room or room cluster along with the fire chamber can
x
cause problems.
You must clean or maintain the pellet stove regularly (see the section entitled 6. Cleaning).
x
Repairs to your pellet stove may only be performed by specialists trained by the manufacturer.
x
Have parts replaced as necessary and depending on the condition. Check the electrical and
x
electronic elements regularly for damage, wear and tear.
Safety devices may not be bypassed.
x
You must only ever open the combustion chamber door in the "OFF" operating condition. Otherwise,
x
you must keep this door closed even when the stove is not operating.
If you use the wrong fuel or fuel that is damp, a chimney fire can occur due to deposits in the
x
chimney. Close all the air vents immediately and call the fire brigade. After the chimney has burned
out, have a specialist inspect it for cracks and tightness.
Pellet devices are only suitable for being the one device that is connected to a chimney.
x
Please note that the installation location must have at least one outside door/window or be directly
x
connected to a room that does have an outside door/window. You must not operate other fire
chambers and extractor hoods as interconnected airways with fire chambers.
