Delivery check
o First of all, check the stove for possible defects
and damages.
o Pay special attention to both stove glass and
firedoor.
o After first use of the stove, most common
defects on the glass are caused by improper
handling or heat overload.

Fireprotection safety inside radiation area
o Minimum distance from firebox opening to
nearest combustible element (ex. furniture
elements, alcohol brewages), should be
greater then 80 cm.
Fireprotection safety outside radiation area
o Do not put any combustible objects within a 50
cm distance from the open stove.
1.2.1. Suitable fuels
Stove is suitable for burning natural firewood
(ex. beech, birch), wood briquettes and
briquettes made of brown coal.
Beech has one of the best caloric values
among firewood and in addition it burns cleanly
(if stored properly ).
Freshly chopped firewood has to be dried,
usually from 12 to 18 months, prior to use
(preferably in open space, protected from rain).
Moisture content, in firewood, should not
exceed 20%.
Beech, birch, oak and maple burn with calm
flame and create a long-lasting ember.
Coniferous trees (ex. pinewood, fir) are full of
pitch and smell nicely, yet they burn faster,
crackle and generate sparks.
