Before emptying of ash make sure, that there are no cinders in it.
Even with cold ash it is possible to find embers which can cause a fire in an ash bin.
Cleaning and maintenance:
You should clean your stove at least twice per heating season or if needed. Clean it when it is cold. The most important for cleaning are tubes of
exchanger and smoke flue bend. For cleaning, you need to remove deflectors – see below and brush properly all tubes with brush of Ø70mm.
Remove covering of the bend and clean the smoke flue. The best way how to clean the glass is to use a special cleaner for glass (do not use any
cleaners with an abrasive action, they can cause scratches on glass!).
Warning! Cleaners contain aggressive substances – prevent any contact of cleaner with door, seal and frame.
Position:
Stove can be positioned only in rooms and in places which are risk free. There must not be any electric wires in walls and in
ceilings where a jacketed chimney insert is installed. In rooms where a stove is situated there must be sufficient fresh-air inlet for combustion.
The base where the stove is situated must be made and must be large enough to allow the firebox work correctly.
Stove must not be located:
- on stairways (except houses where a maximum of two flats are situated)
- on corridors open to the public
- in rooms, where easily combustible or explosive materials or mixtures are stored or manufactured
- in flats or areas which are aired only by means of ventilators or hot-air heaters if there isn’t external air input installed on stove
Heating output
Bear in mind the information written in the Equipment Certificate of your stove. The heating potential of the fire depends on the nominal output.
Output is applicable to rooms which correspond to the Heat Safety Protection. In rooms which are more than 200 cubic metres it is necessary to
count the heat consumption.
Stove location and combustion air inflow:
The area must be provided with at least one door which leads into an open space, or with a window which can be open, or it must be
connected with other rooms. Only rooms of the same flat or dwelling are counted. If there is not enough the room where the fstove is located,
must be provided with a tube:
which leads directly into the stove and supplies minimum volume of convectional air. When the stove is connected with outer a ir it must be
installed on the original stand which is supplied by manufacturer
.
o
it is necessary to take deformation resistance into account during tubing batching, especially during curve, branch pipe or long pipe
installation.
for combustion air which leads into an open space and supplies at least 360 m³/hour of combustion air 1
m²
of firebox hole. This tube must be
connected directly with the stove. If other fireboxes are located in a heating interconnect ion at least 540 m3 of combustion air 1
m²
must be
supplied into the firebox. To other fireboxes except this at least 1.6
m³
of combustion air / hour and on each kW of total nominal heat output when
the initial pressure difference was at least 4 Pa as compared to an open space are needed (except stoves which are located in areas that do not
depend on air in a room, do not need a smoke flue or are located in areas where the operating safety of stoves cannot be endangered).
o
it is recommended that combusting air is supplied directly into the throat of the appliance
o it is necessary to arrange tubing for combusting air in buildings with more than two floors, as stipulated by local building regulations,
and tubings for combusting air which connect antifire walls, so that fire and smoke cannot spread into other floors or fire
compartments.
It is possible to use data from the technical data list when setting the dimension of combusting air flow piping
Ask your chimney sweep or stove builder for professional assistance
.
Adequate chimney:
A stove must be connected into a chimney in accordance with national technical standards and regulations. Connection must be done only with
with the approval of chimney sweep. The chimney must be directly connected, dry and lined with fire-bricks. If the stove should be connected to
a chimney already built, it is necessary to clean the chimney and a chimney sweep must check its tightness and condition. A chimney sweep also
checks if the chimney is suitable for stove connection. In case when the chimney does not exist or it is not suitable the new chimney dimensions
must be according to the Equipment certificate. Low effective height limit of a stack flue is 5 m if counted from the discharge of combustion
products slot. In single cases it is possible to connect even to a stack flue with less effective height than 5 m. It must be documented by a
calculation of combustion products way that this height is enough for the connection. The stove must have its own chimney.
Chimney parameters:
Chimney parameters in accordance with EN 13384-1 are found in the Equipment Certificate
The floors in front of the stove:
A floor made of combustible material in front of the stove must be protected by an adequate non-combustible material layer. Dimensions of this
non-combustible area must be at least: 800mm in the sideways direction of the opening side and 400mm to the front in the direction of the
opening side.
