Haas+Sohn VIKING 75, VIKING 60 Installation And Maintenance Instructions Manual

Dear Customer

We congratulate you on your choice of a new Haas+Sohn solid fuel stove and wish you many years of pleasure
from it.
You have purchased a solid fuel stove that is equipped with an innovative combustion technology and which
burns the specified fuels in a very environmentally friendly and economical manner. In order to fall within the strict
statutory regulations on emission behaviour, a very precisely controlled combustion air supply is required. This
control is achieved with a built-in bimetallic valve and an automatic output regulator which simplify the heating up
process and automatically close once the operating temperature is reached.
Besides improved user convenience, a combined heat and ash door offers you another major safety benefit (no
uncontrolled burn-out as a result of an open ash door). Also of major importance is a proper, clean connection to
a fully functional flue.

Faults and causes Solution

6. Exhaust gases leaking:
a) The supply pressure is too low
b) Blockage or backward flow in the chimney
c) Conditions in the building such as
windows and doors (too well) sealed. If for

example a door is opened, this causes a

temporary pressure drop in the room and the
chimney no longer draws air.
d) Exhaust gas leaking from the flue door when
opened.
e) Extractor hood is switched on.

7. Cinder buildup:
a) Overload of the stove by heating
with an open flue door
b) Non-combustible components in the
fuel.

8. Explosion
a) Temporary blockage or backward flow in the
chimney
b ) Flues or exhaust gas pipe clogged with soot.

For cleaning and maintenance of the stainless steel parts please use only the special products available
through the trade. In no circumstances should scouring or abrasive media or objects be used!

Please understand that visits by Custome r Service cannot be made free of charge even during the
guarantee period if the device is not working correctly because of incorrect operation.

Seek advice from a chimneysweep

General

--------------------------

Dear Customer

before startup, we ask you to read through these op er ator ins tr uctio ns caref ully. You will then very quickly
become familiar with the device’s operation.

A solid fuel stove is not a toy ...
The stove gets hot during operation!

It is therefore essential to keep children away from it since they do not recognise the dangers that can arise in
dealing with stoves. Our devices comply with statutory safety regulations with regard to technical appliances.
However, these do not by any means cover all possible risks of accidents.

Queries:

If you have any questions or complaints, please provide a full statement of the model number and manufacturer’s
number. You will find this information on the identification plate. The identification plate is located on the

inside of the left front support foot.

To ensure risk-free operation of your device, it is essential for you to observe the safety instructions in the
relevant section.

Heating may cause hairline cracks in the fire bricks but these have no effect on operation.
In case problems occur in the heating up p h ase as a result of relatively weak draught con d itions, here are

a few tips:
Do not use overlarge pieces of wood for heating up. (2 to 4 cm)

Firelighters, which are available from the trade, are also recommended

(Note environmental compatibility)

For heating up, open up the combustion air regulator fully.
In the heating up phase, turn the control knob to the Coal position. (Page 8)

(Once operating temperature is reached, adjust the position to the relevant fuel)

Also during the first refuelling, do not at this stage use too many or too big pieces of wood. Shake the
device out clean each time before starting it up.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disposal of packaging

------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the exception of wood materials, packaging and
packaging aids are recyclable and shou ld al wa ys be
recycled. Paper, cardboard and corrugated
cardboard packaging shoul d be put in the releva nt
collection bins. Plastic packaging parts s hou ld also
be put in the collection bins provided for them. If
these are not yet available in your area, you can put
these materials in the domestic waste.

Only recyclable plastics are used as packaging aids.
In the examples, the meanings of the codes are as
follows:
PE = Polyethylene
02 = PE-HD
04 = PE-LD
PP = Polypropylene
PS = Polystyrene

Never use spirits, petrol or other liquids with a fire
