2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION
General warning and safety information
Observance of the introductory general warning information is
imperative
Q Read the entire manual thoroughly before installing and putting
the stove into service� Observe the national provisions and laws
as well as the regulations and rules applicable locally�
Q RIKA stoves should only be installed in rooms with normal humidity
(dry areas according to VDE 0100 Part 200)� The furnaces are not
splash water protected and may not be installed in wet areas�
Q Only approved transport equipment with sufficient load carrying
capacity may be used with your heating appliance
Q Your heating appliance is not suitable for use as a ladder or
stationary scaffolding�
Q The burning of fuel releases heat energy that lead to extensive
heating of the stove surfaces, doors, door and operating handles,
glass, flue pipes and possibly the front wall� Refrain from touching
these parts without appropriate protective clothing or equipment
e�g� heat-resistant gloves or means of operation (operating
handle)�
Q Make your children aware of this particular danger and keep
them away from the stove during heating�
Q Only burn approved heating materials�
Q The combustion or introduction of highly flammable or explosive
materials such as empty spray cans etc� in the combustion
chamber and storing them near the stove is strictly prohibited
due to the danger of explosion�
Q No light or inflammable clothing is to be worn when post-heating�
Q Use the heat-resistant gloves supplied to open the doors of your
stove�
Q Only use suitable tools from our range of accessories when
handling embers and make sure that no embers fall out of the
combustion chamber onto inflammable material�
Q Push the embers together to form a firebed when you add new
fuel (logs)�
Q Placing non-heat resistant objects on the stove or near it is
prohibited�
Q Do not place clothing on the stove to dry�
Q Laundry racks etc� must be placed at a sufficient distance to the
stove – ACUTE DANGER OF FIRE!
Q When your stove is burning, the use of highly inflammable and
explosive materials in the same or adjacent rooms is prohibited�
Note
Waste and liquids may not be burnt in the stove!
Note
To prevent your stove from overheating of the internal components,
do never cover the convection fins!
Note
Your stove will expand and contract during the heating and cooling
phase� This can sometimes lead to slight bending or cracking
noises� This is normal and is no reason for a complaint�
First heating
The stove body, just as various steel parts, cast iron parts and the
flue pipes are painted with a heat resistant paint� During the first
heating the paint dries out completely� This may cause a slight smell�
Touching or cleaning the painted surfaces during the curing should
be avoided� The hardening of the paint is finished after the first
heating with high power
Safety distances
Note
1� To non-combustible objects
a > 40 cm, b > 10 cm
2� To combustible objects and reinforced concrete load-bearing
walls
a > 80 cm, b > 15 cm
Tip
Please observe a minimum distance of 20 cm behind and sideways
the stove for maintenance�

Prior to set up
Floor bearing capacity
Ensure that the substructure is capable of bearing the weight of the
stove prior to set-up�
Note
No modifications may be made to the firing installation� This also
leads to loss of warranty and guarantee�
Floor protection
A glass, sheet steel or ceramic plate is required, if the floor is
combustible (wood, carpet, etc�)�
Flue pipe connection
Q Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding gas leaks
and fire� Get the advice of an authorised specialist company for
the layout and assembly�
Q Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines for walls
panelled with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove�
Q Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and
draughts when the weather is unfavourable
Q Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms
or to flue gas leaks� Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney
may also occur
Q If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the
air inlet openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove
pipe are clean� If in doubt notify the master chimney sweep since
draught malfunctions may be connected to your chimney�
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
Q Suitable for multiple occupancy� (Note the different country
regulations�)
Q These may only be operated with the combustion chamber door
closed�
Q The combustion chamber door may only be opened to add fuel
and must then be closed again otherwise other firing installations
connected to the chimney may be endangered�
Q The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed when the
stove is not in operation�
Q Fouling of the chimney i�e� deposits of highly inflammable
materials such as soot and tar and subsequently fire in the
chimney may occur if wet fuel is used and operation is damped
too much�
Q If this occurs, close the fresh air support (slider,
regulator, flaps - depending on model)! Disconnect
the mains plug at the stoves type Rikatronic�
Phone the fire brigade and get yourself and other residents out
of harm’s way�
Note
on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT
OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air independent stove
according to EN 13240 and can be installed as well room-air
dependent and independent�
When installed room-air dependent in combination with room-
air installations (e�g� controlled ventilation and venting systems
(extractors etc�) it must be ensured that the stove and the room
air system are monitored and safeguarded mutually (e�g� via a
differential pressure controller etc�)� The combustion air infeed of
approx� 20 m3/h must be ensured�
Please observe the respective local regulations and rules in
consultation with your master chimney sweep� For changes after
the printing of this manual, we can not assume any liability� We
reserve the right to change without notice�

3. BRIEF INFORMATION ON COMBUSTIBLE - LOGS
Suitable fuels and fuel amounts
Your stove is generally suitable for burning dry firewood� You can
also burn combustibles such as wood briquettes�
Note
A stove is not a waste incinerator� The warranty lapses if waste or
non-approved materials such as plastic, treated wood (chipboard),
coals or clothes are burnt! This leads to damage to the stove and
chimney and to environmental pollution!
Note
FUEL AMOUNTS
The stove is fitted with a construction-specific flat firebox� This
means only one layer of logs may be laid on the base embers�
Please observe that adding greater quantities of logs leads to
emission of high temperatures, higher than the stove is designed
for� This may cause damage to your stove� This is reflected in
particular on the glass of the combustion chamber door, which will
get a gray haze in case of overheating the stove, which can not be
removed�
Wood types
Different types of wood have different calorific values� Wood from
deciduous trees is particularly suitable� It burns with a constant
flame and forms long-lasting embers� Coniferous wood has higher
levels of resin and burns off faster as do all softwoods and tends to
spray sparks�

Output controlling
The output of your stove is regulated manually or via the Rikatronic-
control� Please observe that the output of your stove also depends
on the chimney draught and the amount of fuel added�
Clean combustion
1. The firewood must be dry and untreated.
The should-be value is between 14 % and 18 % relative wood moisture
Wood has to be stored dry and ventilated for 2–3 years�
2. Correct firewood amount and size:
Q Too much firewood leads to overheating� This can damage your
stove and increases the exhaust emission values�
Q If you take too little firewood or if the logs you place are too large
the stove will not reach the optimum operating temperature� The
flue gas values also increase in this case
Q For right quantity of firewood see AMOUNT OF FUEL.

4. INSTALLING THE STOVE
General information
Note
Assembly may only be performed by authorised specialist
companies�
Note
Please observe the regional safety and building regulations� Please
contact your master chimney sweep in this context�
Note
Only use heat-resistant sealing materials as well as corresponding
sealing strips, heat-resistant silicon and rock wool�
Note
Also take care that the flue does not project into the free cross-
section of the chimney�
Note
In case of room-air independent operation the stove pipe
connections must be tightly sealed permanently� Use a heat-proof
silicon to position the stove pipe on the conical supports of the flue
tube nozzles and for insertion in the chimney flue lining�
Note
The stove should not be pushed on unprotected floors�
Tip
Strong corrugated cardboard, cardboard or e�g� old carpet is useful
to assist assembly and as a base� The stove can also be pushed on
this cardboard or carpet�
We recommend original flue pipes from RIKA for proper connection�
Connection to the chimney
Q The device must be connected to a flue that is approved for solid
fuels and is insensitive to moisture� The moisture insensitivity may
vary if the flue calculation results in a dry operation� The chimney
must have a diameter of min� 100 mm for pellet stoves and
130 mm -150 mm for log wood stoves depending on the diameter
of the flue pipes�
Q Avoid long flue pipes to the chimney� The horizontal length of the
flue pipe should not exceed 1�5 metres�
Q Avoid to many bends of the flue gas pipes� There should not be
more than 3 bends in the exhaust pipe�
Q Please use a connection with a cleaning opening�
Q Connections must be made of metal and must meet the
requirements of the standard (install the connections airtight)�
Q Before installing a chimney calculation must be made� The
evidence must be performed for single occupancy to EN13384-1
and EN13384-2 for multiple occupancy�
Q The maximum draft of the chimney should not exceed 15 Pa�
Q The derivation of the flue gases must be guaranteed even during
a temporary power outage
Note
If connecting to multiple connection chimneys and depending on
country regulations, additional safety equipment is required� Your
local chimney sweep will advise you in this case
Note
Be sure to prevent condensed water from entering via the flue
connection� You may need to have a condensate ring installed -
ask your chimney sweeping expert for more information� Damages
caused by condensate are excluded from manufacturer’s warranty�
Connecting to a steel chimney
The connection must be calculated and shown with EN13384-1
and EN13384-2�
Use only insulated (double) stainless steel tubes (flexible aluminum
or steel tubes are not permitted)�
An inspection door for regular inspection and cleaning must be
present�
The flue pipe connection to the chimney has to be air-tight�
Combustion air
Every combustion process requires oxygen from the surrounding air
This so-called combustion air is removed from the living are in the
case of individual stoves without external air connections�
This air removed must be replaced in the living space� Very tightly
sealed windows and doors in modern flats may mean that too little
air replaces that used� The situation also becomes problematical due
to additional venting in flats (e�g� in the kitchen or WC)� If you cannot
feed in external combustion air, then air the room several times a
day to prevent negativce pressure in the room or poor combustion�
Feeding in external combustion air
only for devices which are able to run in room-air independent
operation�
Q Combustion air must be fed to the stove from outside via a sealed
pipe for operation independent of the room air� According to
EnEV, it must be possible to shut off the combustion air pipe� The
open/closed setting must be clearly recognisable�
Q Connect at the air intake either a pipe Ø 125 mm for log wood and
combi stoves, or Ø 50 mm or Ø 60 mm for pellet stoves� Fix it with
a hose clamp (not included!)� At pellet stoves with longer intake
pipes than 1 m the diameter should be increased to 100 mm� (see
RIKA range)�
Q To ensure sufficient air intake, the intake pipe should not exceed
max� 4 metres and have max� 3 bends�
Q If the line leads outside it must have a windbreak�
Q In extreme cold pay attention to icing on the air intake opening
(check)�
Q It is also possible to suction in combustion air directly from
another sufficiently vented room (e�g� cellar)�
Q The combustion air pipe must be tightly connected (adhesive or
cement) permanently to the air nozzles of the stove
Q If you do not use the stove for a long time, please close the
combustion air intake to prevent the stove from moisture�
Note
Please note that problems may arise due to updrafts in the case
of combustion air supply from an integrated chimney ventilation
shaft� If the combustion air flowing downwards is heated it may
rise and thus counter the chimney with a resistance which in turn
reduces the negative pressure in the combustion chamber� The
chimney manufacturer is to guarantee that the resistance for the
combustion air is a maximum 2 Pa even in the least favourable
operating state of the chimney�
If one or more of these conditions does NOT apply, the result is poor
combustion in the stove and negative pressure in the installation
room�

5. OPTION REAR CONNECTION
Note
Only work on the unit when the mains plug has been disconnected
and the stove has cooled down completely�
Note
During any conversion work, take particular care of your fingers
and any panels and stove attachments� Select soft bases to
prevent scratches to your living space furniture and stove panels�
Converting to rear flue pipe connection
(to be ordered separately)
Remove the convection fins�
Lift the reart wall and cut it out along the perforation�
Replace the flue outlet from the top and the rear cover against each
other
Note
Make sure that everything is air tight!
Replace the rear wall and the convection cover� At the end put the
cover lid (to be ordered separately) onto the convection cover

6. VARIATION ROTATION
Lift the locking bolt at the rear side from its initial position using the
handle�
Swivel the stove� For better handling, put the handle aside for a
moment�
If you have roughly reached the desired end position, place the
handle back in the centre again� Now turn until the locking bolt
engages into the bottom plate� Positioning is possible in 30 degree
intervals�
Note
Be sure that the stove is secured properly!
14
7. MANUAL OPERATION
Each combustion process needs oxygen� Before ignition the
combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to ensure
an adequate supply of air
The right fill amount for heating up is 2 - 3 logs of the quantity given
in AMOUNT OF FUEL
Correct heating up primarily according to instructions counteracts
excessive smoke during heating up
RIKA firelighter
Always ignite the RIKA firelighter on the red tip� One block consists
out of 8 ribs which can be divided to the desired size� The amount
of RIKA firelighters also depends on the size and humidity of your
firewood� Ideally, one rib is enough to light up the fire
Tip
You can order the RIKA firelighter with the number E15834 at your
RIKA dealer
Combustion air regulation
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney
draught; therefore the control knob for combustion air regulation
must be used according to your own experience
Heating up position
Middel position
Ideal position
The heating-up position may only be used for heating up or refilling�
If the stove is not in use, warm air can release through the chimney�
The zero setting of the control knob can prevent this�

Correct heating up
1� Pull the control knob completely to “heating-up position”� Open the
combustion chamber door and sweep the ashes into the ashtray�
Place left and right two small pieces of chipboard lengthways in the
bottom of the combustion chamber
Place two logs crossways on top of this chipboard�
2� Now place further pieces of chipboard in crosswise layers on top
of the logs and place 2-4 ribs of the RIKA-firelighter on top of the
chipboard� Some uncoated paper can be placed underneath the
chipboard in case there is no firelighter available�
3� Now light the firelighter (or the uncoated paper) and close the
combustion chamber door
Set the control knob for combustion air regulation to middle position
some minutes later� If the logs are well lit the control knob can be set
to ideal position another few minutes later (depending on draught
and fuel quality / amount)�
Refilling
After the first burn-off, add one or two logs (see AMOUNT OF FUEL)
to the blaze� Set the control knob to heating-up position again until
the wood is well lit�
Note
Sometimes a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a
low firebed or when there is too less fresh air for combustion� An
explosive gas/air mixture may arise and cause an eventual heavy
deflagration� For safety reasons it is recommended to leave the
combustion chamber door closed and press the control knob at
the rear wall down completely into “heating-up position”� If the
log wood is not igniting, start a new heating-up procedure after it
stopped smoking�
Please proceed in the same way for every further addition of wood�
Note
Stove LOOK: Pay especially attention with the wooden bench on
falling out embers during reloading! Fire hazard!

8. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Basic information
Note
When you vacuum clean around the stove ensure that you do not
vacuum into the combustion air intake during heating operation�
You could vacuum out embers – FIRE RISK!
Note
Your stove must be cooled before any maintenance work is
performed�
Tip
Your RIKA dealer will gladly advise you about their service and
maintenance offers�
The frequency with which the stove requires cleaning and the
maintenance intervals depend on the fuel you use� High moisture
content, ash, dust and chips may more than double the maintenance
required� Only use wood that has been stored properly and is dry
and untreated�
Tip
Wood as fertiliser - the mineral content of the wood remains in the
combustion chamber as ash as a residue of the combustion� This is
an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden; it is a completely
natural product� The ash should be stored first and slaked with
water
Note
Ash may contain embers – only place ash in sheet steel containers!
Cleaning the combustion chamber
The combustion chamber must be regularly cleaned from ash to
ensure an adequate supply of air� If you swing the grate open, you
can sweep the ashes with a broom in the ash tray� You can also use
an ash vacuum cleaner
Note
Only when the stove is cold! You could vacuum out embers – FIRE
RISK!
Empty the ash drawer
Empty the ash drawer regularly� The ash drawer is simply pulled
forward with the combustion chamber door open�
Cleaning the door glass
The glass can be cleaned best with a moist cloth� Stubborn dirt can
be removed with a special cleaner (free from corrosive acids and
solvents - otherwise there is a risk of damage to the glass surface)
available from your stove dealer� Usual cleaners containing acid or
solvents can be too harsh and damage the glass�
Note
Never use abrasive or aggressive cleaning agents to clean the
wooden door handle, these will damage the wood�
Cleaning painted surfaces
Wipe the painted surfaces with a damp cloth, do not scrub� Do not
use solvent-containing cleaners�
Cleaning the convection air openings
Vacuum clean any dust deposits from the convection air openings
at regular intervals�
The stove should be cleaned thoroughly prior to the start of the
heating season to prevent excess odour
Cleaning the flue pipes
annually!
Remove the flue pipes� Inspect and clean the chimney connection�
Brush off any soot and dust deposits in the fire and in the flue pipes
and vacuum�
Install the removed parts in reverse order
Note
Accumulated fly ash in the flue gas channels may impair the
performance of the stove and pose a safety risk�
Checking door seal
annually!
The condition of the seals at doors and glass should be checked at
least once a year� Repair or replace seals depending on condition�
Note
Only intact seals ensure your stove works perfectly!
