Data for the calculation of chimney
dimension in accordance with DIN EN
13384 or 13384-2
The data for the calculation of chimney dimension in
accordance with DIN EN 13384 or 13384-2 can be
found on the unit datasheet.
Setting up the stove and connecting
the chimney
The packaging of your new stove is designed to pro-
vide optimum protection from damages. It is, how-
ever, possible that damage to the stove or the acces-
sories may occur during transportation. Please
check your stove after unpacking for damages and
to ensure that all the components are there! In the
event of damage or missing items, immediately
inform your stove dealer!
Comment: Loose draught baffle plates or those that
have slipped out of their anchorage or similar are not
considered faults (see Chapter ► First use of your
stove – p. 21).
The packaging of your stove is, for the most part,
environmentally neutral. The wood of the packaging
has not been surface treated and can be cut up and
used for heating purposes. The cardboard and the
sheeting can easily be recycled via community recy-
cling centres.
With a stove with a self-closing firebox door, con-
nection to a chimney already connected to other
stoves and fireplaces is possible, as long as the
chimney dimension in accordance with DIN EN
13384 or 13384-2 does not counteract this.
When operating multiple fireplaces in a single room
or an air connection, ensure that the combustion air
supply is sufficient.
A 2 mm thick steel plate flue should be used to con-
nect to the chimney. The flue connection to both the
flue gas socket and the chimney must be securely
made and well-sealed. This secure and sealed con-
nection is absolutely essential when connecting the
flue elements to each other. It is essential to ensure
that the flue does not extend into the free cross-sec-
tion of the chimney. We recommend using a
masonry liner to introduce it into the chimney.
When using extended flue gas piping, horizontal
paths and constrictions must be avoided. Piping that
rises in the direction of the chimney is recom-
mended. In the event of a low chimney draught, we
recommend connecting the stove via a vertical pipe
at least 1 m in length.
Generally speaking, when connecting flues, the legal
regulations are to be maintained. When connecting
to a chimney above the upper flue connection, you
should keep, for example, a distance of 40 cm from
the flue to flammable construction elements. This
minimum distance may be reduced to 10 cm if the
flue is fitted with a non-flammable insulation at least
2 cm in thickness.
The correct connection of the flue is, in all instances,
to be confirmed by the local chimney sweep or heat-
ing professional.
Safety distances (minimum distances):
When setting up the chimney, the authority pre-
scribed fire protection regulations should be
observed on principle. Consult your local chimney
sweep or heating professional in this regard.
The minimum distance to flammable or temperature-
sensitive materials (e.g. furniture, wallpaper, wood-
cladding) or to carrying walls must be maintained as
follows.
The appropriate distances for your model can be
found on the enclosed unit datasheet which is a
component of these operating instructions.
In the event of flammable or temperature-sensitive
floor coverings, the device must be set-up on a non-
flammable floor protection plate (e.g. steel plate,
glass). Floor protection plates (underlay plate or
guard) can be purchased from the accessories range
carried by your dealer. If necessary, you can order
these from your stove dealer.
The minimum dimensions/safety distances can be
found on the device datasheets and inspection
assessments

Operating the stove

The stove may only be heated by adults. Make sure
that children are never left unattended with the stove
(do not leave the stove unattended over a longer
period of time). The stove may only be used in
accordance with these operating instructions.
Please take note of the safety notes detailed in
Chapter ► General notes, safety notes – p. 20.
Permitted fuels
The stove is a slow combustion fireplace.
The stove is suitable for low-smoke fuels. The fuels
that may be burned are listed on the unit datasheet.
Permitted fuels are split logs with a length of 30 cm
and a diameter of 10 cm as well as brown coal bri-
quettes.
Only air-dried split logs may be used, a maximum of
20% water is achieved by at least one year of drying
time for soft woods or two years for hardwoods.
Caution! Wood is not a slow-burning fuel, thus over-
night heating with the stove is not possible.
Caution: Never use waste, such as wallpaper, ply-
wood rubbish, plastics or treated wood for heating!
Pay attention to country-specific regulations.
Setting the combustion air regulator
The correct setting of the combustion air regulator of
your stove can be found on the enclosed device
datasheet. Please keep to these recommended set-
tings, thus ensuring that the heating energy of the
fuel is used optimally, saving fuel and helping the
environment.
First use of your stove
Before using your stove for the first time, remove any
stickers and take all accessories out of the ash pan
or firebox, this also applies to any transport safety
mechanisms used. For models with ceramic fibre or
vermiculite draught baffle plates, check whether
these plates are positioned in their anchorage (they
may have slipped out of place during transportation
or set-up of the stove). Otherwise you will have to
hang the plates back into position (see the unit data-
sheet).
