Read the instructions before installing and commis­sioning your stove. Pay particular attention to the national regulations and legislation, as well as any local directives and rules.
GENERAL WARNING AND SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The general introductory warning informa­tion must be followed.
Read the whole of the manual thoroug­hly before commissioning the fire.
Only approved transport aids with ade­quate load bearing capacity must be used for transporting your fire.
Your fire is not suitable for use as a lad­der or scaffold
Thermal energy is produced by burning fuel; this leads to the surface of the fire, the doors, the door and operating hand­les, the door glasses, the flue pipes and possibly the front wall of the fire becoming very hot.
Avoid touching these parts without wea­ring the relevant protective clothing or using the relevant means (cold hand).
Make children aware of the danger and keep them away from the fire when in use.
Only burn the approved fuel listed in the chapter “Clean Burning”.
Burning or inserting easily combustible or explosive materials, such as empty spray cans and suchlike in the fire, as well as storage of the same close to the fire is prohibited due to risk of explosion.
When reheating, no wide or easily com­bustible clothing should be worn.
Setting down of non heat resistant objects on the fire or nearby is prohibited.
Do not lay washing on the fire to dry.
Stands for drying items of clothing or
suchlike must be set up at an adequate distance from the fire – fire hazard!
Working with easily combustible and explosive materials in the same or adjoi­ning room to the fire is prohibited when the fire is on.
EFORE SETTING UP
B
1.1 Ground load bearing capacity:
Before setting up, ensure that the suppor­ting construction has a load bearing capa­city that will support the weight of the fire.
Commissioning details are shown on the sticker on the Ceran area.
The stove must not be modified in any way as this will invalidate the guaran­tee and warranty.
SAFETY CLEARANCES (Minimum clearances)
1. From non-combustible items a > 400 mm b > 100 mm
2. From combustible items and supporting walls
made from reinforced concrete construction
a > 800 mm b > 200 mm

1.2 Flue pipe connection
Flue pipes are a particular hazard source in respect of escape of poisonous gas and
ire hazard. Obtain the advice of an
f appointed specialist company in respect of laying and fitting the pipes.
When connecting the flue pipe to the chimney, in the area of walls cladded
sing wood, please follow the relevant fit-
u ting directives.
1.8
The fire door must only be opened for adding fuel and must then be closed again, as this could otherwise lead to a danger to other fires that are also connec­ted to the chimney.
1.8.1
When the fire is not in operation, the fire door must be kept closed.
E N G L I S H
1.3
You must follow the flue gas formation in the event of unfavourable weather (atmos­pheric inversion) and the draught conditi­ons.
If too little combustion air is added smoke can enter your house or flue gases can escape. Additionally harmful deposits can arise in the fire and in the chimney.
In the event that flue gas escapes let the fire go out and check if all air inlet ope­nings are free and the flue gas feeds and the fire pipe are clean. In cases of doubt you must inform the master chimney sweep, as a fault in the draught could be due to the chimney.
1.4
Before adding new fuel, push the embers together.
1.5
Only use a suitable tool from our acces­sory range for pushing the embers together, and ensure that no combustible material falls out of the fire.
1.6
Use the devices supplied with your fire, uch as the protective gloves or the cold hand to open the doors, as well as for ope­rating the control elements.
1.7
Design 1 fires (BA 1):
These fires must only be operated with the fire door closed.
1.9
When using wet fuel and if operation is throttled too much, the chimney can soot up, i.e. easily combustible materials such as soot and tar can be deposited and this can lead to a chimney fire.
Should this happen, close all air inlet sli­des and flaps. Call the fire brigade and get your self and all other occupants to safety.
1.10
The primary and/or secondary air supply must be open before you open the com­bustion chamber door.
ATTENTION: The size of the fire door means that, particularly when reheating blazing flames, the door must not be opened abruptly, in order to pre­vent the flames from springing out.
Important information relating to ROOM AIR DEPEN­DENT and ROOM AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room air dependent stove in accordance with EN 13240 and does not fulfil the German requirements for room air indepen­dent operation.
In combination with room air technical installations (e.g. controlled ventilation and extraction systems, dust extraction systems, etc) it must be ensured that the stove and the room air technical installati­ons are monitored and made safe (e.g. via a diffe­rential pressure controller, etc.). The required com­bustion air flow of approx. 40 m3/h must be assu­red.
Please observe any local directives and rules in consultation with the responsible chimney sweep.

SUITABLE FUELS AND FUEL QUANTI­TIES
In principle your fire is suitable for burning dry billets. You can also burn fuels such
s wood brickets.
a
Only use dry fuel (between 14% and 18% rel. wood humidity). The burning of waste of any kind, in particular plastics, dama­ges your stove and the chimney, and is prohibited by the Emissions Protection Ruling.
FUEL QUANTITIES
The fire is equipped with flat firing due to the design. This means that only one layer of fuel may be placed on the existing basic embers. Please note that when a larger quantity of fuel is added, your stove will emit a larger quantity of heat or will heat up more strongly than is intended for the design. This can lead to damage to your stove.
MAXIMUM FUEL QUANTITIES
Wood:
2 billets a approx. 0.9 kg
Wood brickets (broken):
off a approx. 0.9 kg
2
The output of your stove is regulated via the rotary conrol knob. As your fire output is also dependent on the chimney draught, you must get used to the use of this slide according to your own exprerience.
Please use the enclosed protective glove to opera­te the rotary control knob. The shaker grate handle may only be used with the enclosed shaker hook.
TYPES OF WOOD
Different types of wood have different calorific values, deciduous wood being especially suitable for combustion. It burns with a stable flame and forms long-lasting embers. Coniferous wood contains a high lever of resin, burns very quickly like all soft woods and tends to throw out sparks.

The challenges of the present day and age mean that everyone must act respon­sibly. One of most important matters of concern is retaining our natural world. Our products are developments that comply with the most recent state of the art tech­nology. This is an essential prerequisite for a clean, efficient and perfect functio­ning of our fires.
CLEAN BURNING
The following is important for clean bur­ning:
1. THE FIREWOOD MUST BE DRY AND UNTREATED.
Recommended value between 14%
and 18% rel. wood humidity.
Dry and well ventilated stored wood
that has been stored for 2-3 years.
2. CORRECT FIREWOOD QUANTITY AND FIREWOOD SIZE
Too much firewood causes overhea-
ting. This causes the material to burn
oo heavily and your fire will produce
t poor flue gas values.
Too little firewood or too large billets
have the effect that the fire does not reach the optimum temperature. The flue gas values are poor here.
The correct firewood quantity means:
for wood 2 kg (2 billet - 25 cm long) per layer (recommended value) at rated thermal output.
At the smallest thermal output 1 kg (2 billets - 25 cm long)
Note: Only wood and wood brickets must be burned in your fire. Plastic, treated wood materials (e.g. chip­board), hard coal or textiles must not be burned.
E N G L I S H
A fire is not a „waste incineration plant". The war­ranty will become null and void if rubbish or non­approved material, such as plastic, treated wood etc. is burned. Further consequences are damage or soiling of the fire and chimney as well as the environment!

E N G L I S H
Before first commissioning or after changing the location of the fire, cleaning and service work, ensu­re that the flue plate, as well as the log guard (Fig. Combustion chamber, Part 23) is in the correct posi­tion. When using a flue pipe with throttle valve, the thrott­le valve must be open.
Care must be taken with this fire that the flue draught reaches at least the prescribed value (10 Pa). Should problems arise here, please contact your master chimney sweep.
CONNECTING THE FIRE
Proceed as follows when fitting a connec­tion to a bricked chimney:
1. Measure and draw in the chimney connection (taking a possible floor pla­te thickness into account) as per the natural dimension
2. Chisel out (drill) the holes in the wall
3. Brick in wall lining
First seal the wall lining using mineral wool insulation. Afterwards plaster using heat resi­stant cement mortar or equivalent.
We recommend original flue pipes from the RIKA flue pipe range for professional connection.
The connecting piece must not project into the chimney shaft! Seal the gap between the flue pipe and wall lining using a cera­mic seal.
The installation must comply with the respective safety and construction regulations. Please contact your master chimney sweep in this respect – he will be happy to give you infor­mation.
If you use a system chimney (e.g. glazed fireclay), we would ask you to follow the manufacturerʼs connection regulations exactly.
MAKING AN EXTERNAL COMBUSTION AIR FEED
Tighten the suction connector (part 60) the pipe Ø125 (e.g. spiral pipe or HD pipe) and attach with a hose clip (not included in delivery!)
The line should not be longer than 4 m and have no bends in order to guarantee adequate air feed.
Should the pipe lead into the open air it must end with a cowl.
4. After the mortar has hardened, and after plastering and painting, position the floor plate including the floor pro tection (carton).
5. The fire can now be lifted onto the floor plate carefully.
The fire must not be pushed along an unpro­tected floor.
Strong corrugated cardboard, carton, or an old carpet are excellently suited as an installation aid and an underlay. The fire can also be pushed on this underlay.

STARTING THE FIRE
In order to keep exhaust emissions as low as possible, we would ask you to keep to the following starting instructions.
1.
If the fire and chimney are still cold or if
here is atmospheric low pressure, then
t burning some paper at the start is reco mended, in order to “drive” the cold out of
he fire and chimney.
t
2.
To start heating first lay untreated paper on the floor of the combustion chamber, on top of that 0.5 kg soft wood chip and 1 kg wood (3 small billets).
Turn the rotary control knob (page 14) to the right in the start heating position, pri­mary and secondary air are completely open (See item: “Rotary control knob”).
3.
Now light the paper. Wait until the soft wood chips are burning well.
Turn the rotary control knob 90° to the left a few minutes later. The primary air is now closed and the secondary air is completely open. A few minutes later set the rotary con­trol knob to the ideal position (See item: “Rotary control knob”)
4.
After this has burned, lay approx 2 kg wood (2 billets) on the fire. Open the shaker grate handle and the primary air slide until the wood is burning well (approx. 2 mins).
Proceed in the same manner for each furt­her layer.
When laying fuel onto a thin bed of embers ensure that the primary air and the shaker grate actuator are open, otherwise there is a danger of explosion.
For safety reasons we recommend star­ting a new heating cycle.
E N G L I S H
Please do not use glossy paper or paper from magazines. It does not burn well and the print colours produce very poisonous substances in the flue gas.
5.
The mineral parts of the wood (approx. 1%) remain on the bottom of the combustion chamber as combustion residue.
This ash is – because it is a natural product
- an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden. However the ash should be left to settle beforehand and doused with water.
13
E N G L I S H
THE FIRE PAINT ONLY HARDENS PROPERLY AFTER HEATING UP DURING USE.
- Do not touch the surface during heating. It is still soft.
- Our paints are completely harmless in accordan­ce with the TÜV-certificate; there is no danger to health. In spite of that we recommend that the house is well ventilated several times after first heating.
- Heat the fire up well – this will reduce the harde­ning time.
- Hardening of the surface is complete after several proper periods of heating.
All details on the nature of the fire wood and cor­rect heating can be found in Chapter 2.
ASH DRAWER
(Page 3, Part 33)
The ash drawer must be emptied regular­ly to prevent excessive heating of the fire grid.
Never heat the fire with the ash drawer open
danger of overheating
Caution: Embers could remain in the ash. Only fill the ash into non-flammable containers and do not put the ash onto flammable surfaces.

OPERATING THE SHAKER GRATE
(Page 3, Part 23)
The ash is moved from the fire into the ash drawer by moving the shaker grate handle to and fro. This frees up room for the pri­mary feed air that is required for the hea­ting phase in the fire.
The shaker grate should remain closed except for wood that is too damp and bri­quettes.
It is not necessary to operate the shaker grate during heating.

CHANGING FLUE PIPE CONNECTION ABOVE TO CONNECTION AT REAR
(Page 4)
- Remove the soapstone cover (part 40).
- Now remove the two soapstone side sec­tions.
Please remember when changing the flue pipe connection that the individual parts of the soapsto­ne panelling weigh about 40 kg. In addition the sur­face of the soapstone should be protected to pre­vent scratching.
Loosen the two hexagonal screws and
­remove the plate fins (part 42, 50).
- Cut out the pre-stamped, round section in the rear wall (part 44) using a hacksaw.
- Swap the flue gas connector and the hob (part 45, 47) with each other.
- Fit the new plate fins (part 43 - must be optionally ordered) and the soapstone sections in the reverse order.
(Make sure your fingers do not become trapped)

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Your Eco has been designed by our deve­lopment team with mainimal maintenance in mind and for a very long service life. Certain cleaning activities and checkin the seals are however necessary from time to time.
The time periods between the inspection intervals are above all dependent on the fire wood quantity used and the frequeny of use.
All maintenance and cleaning work must only be carried out when the fire is completely cooled down.
ONCE MORE
Only use wood that has been stored properly and is dry and untreated.
Feed the correct quantity of wood into the fire.
CONVECTION AIR OPENINGS
egularly clean dust deposit from the con-
R vection air openings. The fire should be cleaned thoroughly before the start of the
ew heating season, in order to prevent
n strong odours.
CLEANING THE FLUE GAS CHANNELS
(1 x annually)
- Removing the flue pipes
- Brush off any soot and dust deposits in the fire and in the flue pipes and vacu­um.
- Check the seals on the fire door or the ash drawer before the beginning and end of the heating period.
Should they be damaged or excessive­ly worn, then please order the relevant replacement.
Should the fuel be poor, the number om necessary maintenance activities can more than double.
FINISH - CONDITION AND CLEANING
The door glass can be cleaned using RIKA class cleaner. The RIKA glass clea­ner can be obtained from your specialist fire dealer. Should the glass become hea­vily sooted the possible cause could be damp wood.
The fire finish is highly refractory and must only be cleaned using a cloth (damp if necessary).
Only use original paint for touch up work, this is available from your specialist dea­ler as an accessory.
Under no circumstances must the paint be cleaned before heating for the first time!
Only intact seals guarantee the perfect function of your fire.

What to do if?
Probl em
1. Ceramic glass pane soots up too quickly
Reason
- Poor draught
- Incorrect regulation
- Too much fuel
- feuchtes Holz
E N G L I S H
Solution
In principle: From time to time (dependent on use), each glass pane must be cleaned with RIKA glass cleaner.
Clarify this with the chimney sweep (if necessary increase height of chimney)
Regulation must be carried out as per the operating instructions using the rotary control knob (if secondary air is closed, the glass pane will soot up very quickly, but this can be burnt off again by correct use.
See item: “Max. Fuel quantities”
See item: “Clean burning”, if necessary use wood brickets (these dry evenly)
