CZ
BEFORE YOU HAVE THE APPLIANCE INSTALLED AND START USING IT, READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
DE
ATTENTION: In order to prevent the risk of a fire hazard, install the wood stove in accordance with the respective building codes and instructions contained in
this operating and installation manual. The installation of the fireplace must be performed by a qualified person. Prior to being put into operation, the appliance
must be approved by a technical inspector and assessed by a chimney professional and a fire safety technician. In order to get the maximum satisfaction
EN
and enjoyment from your wood stove, we recommend that you carefully read the entire manual. The consequences resulting from not adhering to installation
instructions are borne by the user of the wood stove. The installation of the wood stove must be carried out in accordance with this operating manual. Pay
special attention to ensure that you:
• install the individual parts of the wood stove in accordance with their intended purpose,
• connect the wood stove to a smoke flue pipe and a chimney flue,
• ensure sufficient ventilation of the room in which the wood stove is installed.

1. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

The construction of the Masterflamme wood stove consists of an outer case made from welded tubes, which form the combustion chamber. At the front of the
stove there is a panoramic door with heat-resistant glass. The inside of the stove consists of a grate base together with an ash pan and the firebox, a part of
which is a cast iron grate. The bottom part of the stove has two types of bases. The first type is a base with legs and the second type has tubes extending all
the way to the floor. The tube system provides a large heating surface and thanks to its ellipsoidal construction also a long lifetime. The wood stove has an
outdoor air supply inlet which separates a total of three air types for combustion and glass air wash. The wood stove is controlled from a single location in the
bottom right corner of the stove.
1. 1. Heating principle
This wood stove is designed for burning wood, eco-briquettes in a burn-through manner, which ensures very good conditions for combustion.
The wood stove transfers heat to the area where it is located. Heating takes place primarily by means of convective heat and partly by radiant heat. This system
can be used to very quickly heat up rooms that are very cold, that have not been heated for a long time.
The principle of convective heating is that the air from the room enters into the tubes from underneath and as it rises it is heated up in the convection area of
the wood stove and then flows out through the top openings of the tubes back into the room. Radiant heat comes from the surface areas of the wood stove.
With respect to the construction of the stove, the largest source of radiant heat is the glass door.
1. 2. Construction design
This wood stove is welded together using metal tubes with a wall thickness of 3mm. In the central part of the wood stove there is the combustion chamber,
otherwise known as the firebox, that is closed using a door that on certain models is equipped with a self-closing mechanism. The door is glazed with a special
large-area panoramic glass that is able to resist temperatures of up to 800 °C.
The top part of the firebox consists of a flue gas deflector plate leading to the draught outlet collar. At the bottom of the firebox there is a cast iron grate. Under
the grate there is an ash pan.
Attention: The wood stove does not have the character of a continuous combustion heater and is designed for a periodic – interrupted (occasional) mode
of operation..

2. THE COMBUSTION PROCESS

2. 1. Amount of fuel and setting the combustion process
The burning of wood, eco-briquettes and on certain models of coal briquettes in a wood stove takes place in a burn-through manner, which means that
combustion takes place on the entire load simultaneously. To ensure the optimal conditions for the easy lighting of the fire and the subsequent start of the
burn, it is necessary to deliver a sufficient amount of air, known as primary air, under the burning wood via the grate. With the growing temperature of the
flue gasses, gaseous compounds start to be released from the fuel, which without the supply of additional air cannot do any work in the form of heat energy,
and so it is necessary to supply air at the level of the flame, were the combustion process of these gaseous components can occur and this then usually
signals that primary air is no longer necessary and necessitates the supply of secondary air; tertiary air is also supplied. The supply of secondary air also
prevents the soiling of the glass and serves the glass washing, rinsing function. Tertiary air is designed to improve the overall combustion process. The correct
amount and ratio of air supplied to the correct areas in the firebox improves combustion efficiency and thereby reduces the emission of harmful gases into
the atmosphere. The advantage of the Masterflamme wood stoves is the simple control of all air inlets using a single control element (manual air control rod
/ electronic – remote regulation).
2. 2. Fuel
It is possible to burn lump wood or briquettes from compacted wood in the wood stove. The moisture content in the wood must be lower than 20%, ideally
it should be 10%. Here the rule applies that the lower the moisture content in the wood the greater is its heating value. The recommended wood moisture
content is achieved by storing wood in a well ventilated wood shelter for a period of at least two years. The moisture content in briquette must be defined by the
briquette manufacturer. Briquettes must be stored in a dry environment otherwise there is a risk that they will fall apart. The recommended size of lump wood
for storage and burning is 3–6 cm in diameter and 20–40 cm in length. It is forbidden to burn coal or coke in this wood stove. Never use flammable liquids as
fuel, or waste such as wallpaper, wood particle boards, plastics, impregnated wood or only wood shavings or sawdust. The burning of such materials is not
only harmful to the environment but also reduces the lifetime of the stove, furthermore may also damage the stove/chimney. Bark that is found on wooden
logs can be burned.
