1. USER MANUAL
1.1. Foreword
Congratulation on your purchase of LOKATERM™
stove.
Please take some time and read this sheet
carefully.
For stove to work properly and to have a valid
warranty claim, please follow the
recommendations and guidelines, gathered in this
sheet.
In case you have additional questions that are not
covered in this sheet please contact your local
stove supplier or stove service.
Proper use and maintenance are prerequisites for
stove to work long and flawlessly.
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.
o Before installation, check the functionality of all
the movable parts. For possible defects
contact your local supplier.
1.2. Safety measurements
o Warning! Heated metal parts and heated glass
can cause burns, therefore, when handling the
stove always use enclosed protection gloves.
o Take special precaution when children are
around.
Fire protection safety inside radiation area
o Minimum distance from stove sides (which
have glass), to nearest combustible element
(f.i. 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.
1.2.2. Emission limitation
It is forbidden to burn the following materials in
stoves:
o Impregnated or moist wood,
o Wood chips,
o Materials of organic origins (hooves, horns
etc.),
o Coal dust
o Plastic waste or household waste,
o Paper and cardboard (with exception when
igniting fire)
Please note, that burning any kind of waste, is
hazardous to both your health as it causes
environmental pollution. It also damages your
stove and thus shortens its lifespan.
1.3. Stove fires are dangerous
Dumping waste into stoves and burning it is not
only a health or environmental issue, but also a
fire-protection problem. In general, if stove is not
handled properly (cleaning it regularly, burning
appropriate materials etc.), it is prone to fires.
If fires were caused by the stove, as a result of
improper use, user can be held legally responsible.
1.4. Human is not a filter
A lot of flammable leftovers (ex. tampered wood,
paper, composites etc.) can contain heavy metals
(Cd, Pb, Zn, Cr etc.) and halogenous elements (ex.
Cl,F etc.). By burning them, hazardous gasses
V1.0 Lokaterm™ © 03/10 page 3
User manual VANCOUVER stove Creina d.d.
such as nitric oxides, hydrochloric acid,
hydrocarbons and dioxins can be released and
thus can pollute the surrounding.
1.5. Warnings
o Stove in not permitted to be build-in into the
wall or modified in any way(adding/removing
material)
o Air supply and its regulation (air-inlet system),
must not be tampered with. Furthermore,
continues air supply, for stove to work
properly, must be guaranteed.
o Whenever you work with hot stove, use the
enclosed protection gloves, to prevent possible
burns.
o For ignition, never use gasoline, alcohol or
similar substances.
o Don't overload the stove with firewood (max. 2-
3 pieces of wood when igniting and max. 2,6
kg/h when continuously burning).
o Always use the prescribed fuel and don't
thermally overload the stove (max. heat
output). This is important for the warranty to
remain valid.
o All possible damaged parts should be replaced
before first lightning of the stove.
2. STOVE DESCRIPTION
o Stove is made primarily of sheet metal and has
a closed combustion chamber.
o Stove can be placed anywhere in the room
(along the wall, in the corner etc.), as long as
ground is flat and minimum distances to the
wall are taken into consideration. No
concession is needed for the stove installation.
o Our stove gives the comfort of having a
fireplace in your home by providing clean
combustion and room heating.
2.1. Increased functionality with
simplified regulation
o When stove is operating, a layer of ember is
formed in combustion chamber, which assures
an even burning out of firewood. By regulating
the opening of primary and secondary airinlets, one can indirectly control the heat
output of the stove.
3. INITIAL IGNITION
o Empty ash-pan and combustion chamber.
o First ignition of the stove should be performed
in company of authorized person (chimney
sweeper).
o Start with low intensive fire. All materials must
be gradually exposed to heat to prevent
potential firebrick cracks, coating damages and
damages of material (bending).
o Ventilate the room thoroughly. Any scent which
may appear, when protection coating is being
hardened, will eventually diminish (when
sufficient temperature in stove is reached).

User manual VANCOUVER stove Creina d.d.
3.1. Ignition procedure
o Open both primary and secondary air-inlet
regulators (see picture bellow)
o Fully open flue by-pass device (if present).
o Open the firedoor.
o After you have put in several ignition material
(thin wood, ignition cubes, scrambled paper…)
into combustion chamber, insert 2-3 pieces of
firewood (chopped) on top of it. Please fill
stove with care to avoid potential damage.
o Ignite the ignition material and close the
firedoor.
o After stove heats up (it usually takes up from 5
to10 minutes), close primary regulator.
o Heat output is regulated by opening or closing
secondary regulator.
o Nominal heat output (8 kW), is generated
when:
o primary regulator is set to fully closed
o secondary regulator is set to fully open
o there is an aprox. 2,6 kg of firewood inside
of stove
o draught is at 10 Pa.
o Some of the air, which is heated up inside of
stove, is guided through the channels inside
the stove, onto the firedoor glass, where it
performs a cleaning (of the glass) (air brush
cleaning principle).
Attention: Certain types of stoves require
somewhat longer ignition phase, until there is
enough negative pressure (draught) for the stove
to work on its own. When this is the case, use
smaller, dried-up logs. Afterwards you can use
bigger logs.
If firedoor is open during ignition phase, strong
draught can cause fire to blaze up. High flames
start to pound the firedoor glass, thus soothing it or
even damaging it.
3.2. Heating
o Maximum capacity of the stove is 2,6 kg of
firewood per hour.
o Leave the fresh air connection flap (if present)
open.
o Fire intensity regulate with secondary air-inlet
regulator.
o For flue gases to be able to pass by, flue
damper should never be fully closed.
o Also, by closing the flue damper, you could
cause bigger negative pressure inside the
stove, which might damage the stove
(overheating).
3.3. Loading firewood
OPENED CLOSED
CLOSED OPENED
PRIMARNI REGULATOR
o Fully open flue-damper (is present).
o When opening firedoor, always use the
enclosed protection gloves.
o Open door slowly.
o Remember that maximum capacity is 2,6 kg of
firewood per hour.
o Close the firedoor.
o Close the flue-damper (if present) to its
operating position.
o Always keep the fire under control, to prevent
possible fire accidents. Pay special attention if
children are around.
4. CLEANING THE STOVE
4.1. Warnings
o Never use water for fire extinction.
o Cleaning should only be performed when stove
is fully cooled down. Remember - embers
could remain in ashes, hours after the fire has
been extinguished.
o When cleaning, always wear protection gloves.
o Open firedoor
o Remove debris from combustion chamber.
o Glass should be cleaned with special cleaning
agent. (contact your local stove-supplier,
regarding cleaning agents that can be used for
cleaning up stove).
o If stove is being used properly, stove glass
should remain clean (There is always a
possibility that not all of conditions, for stove to
work properly, were met (some of the firewood
might be wet, chimney conditions not perfect
etc.), therefore glass might still soot up.

5. BREAKDOWNS AND CAUSES
What happens,...
… when there isn't enough fresh air intake?
o Is flue-damper closed (if present)?
o Is fresh air-inlet flap closed?
o Are air-combustion regulators closed?
o Is your ventilation hood on?
... when fire extinguish itself, or lights up poorly?
o Is flue-damper closed (if present)?
o Is fresh air-inlet flap closed?
o Are air-combustion regulators closed?
o Is fresh air supply sufficient?
o Is firewood wet?
o Did you use chopped firewood?
… if room is not heated enough?
o Are air-combustion regulators closed?
… if stove is overheated?
o Is primary air-combustion regulator fully
opened?
... when glass quickly becomes too sooty?
o Firewood were too wet
o Flue-damper wasn't opened enough
o Fresh air-intake wasn't sufficient enough.
Note
o Take into consideration, that ventilation hood,
which operates in same or nearby room,
creates negative pressure, which can cause
smoke to leak into the room instead through
chimney.
o Ventilation hood also deprives stove of fresh
air, therefore, take care that stove has enough
fresh air to operate normally. .
