Instructions for use

1. Installation guide

The firebox must definitely be installed by a professionally qualified and duly authorized specialist for firebox life, safety and proper operation. Otherwise the guarantee is null and void.

1.1. Chimney

The chimney must meet the criteria prescribed by currently effective standards:

 ONLY a chimney inspected and approved by the competent

authority is accepted.

 The apparatus is only allowed to be connected to a chimney

with identical or larger diameter compared to that of the smoke exit.

 At the connection, the diameter of the chimney is not allowed

to be reduced in the direction of flue gas flow.

 The chimney must be properly cleaned.  NO solid fuel-fired apparatus is allowed to be connected to a

chimney with gas-fuelled equipment.

 Only one appliance is allowed to be connected to a single

chimney.

 The chimney must have an appropriate draught output.

1.2. Cover:

The firebox should always be installed and built in by a specialist, in compliance with the applicable requirements.

Fireboxes may only be operated with an appropriate cover in place. Even heat delivery must be ensured at installation (with an even air flow around the firebox): the air gap between the fireplace cover and the firebox should be at least 2-3 mm sideways at the door frame, then a minimum of 5 cm towards the wall. There should be a minimum of 5 mm at the top, between the firebox and the mantelpiece and a minimum of 5 cm between the firebox and the wall; a distance of at least 5 cm must be kept from the upper cone of the firebox; it should rather be 10 cm if allowed by the cover.

IMPORTANT: air flow must be ensured both at the bottom and at the top by an aperture or ventilation grid of appropriate size, the unobstructed dimensions of which should be minimum 30 cm2 per kW both at the bottom and the top. Their installation is a basic requirement.

ATTENTION: in case of LD fireboxes leave enough space for the maintenance of the lifting mechanism.

ATTENTION: even heat delivery must be ensured to avoid firebox

overload.

Figure 1.

Figure 2.

Figure 3.

An operating distance should be provided for firebox inlet controls: minimum 2 centimetres of free space must be ensured in addition to the space visibly required for their motion.

If the criteria listed are not met, the firebox may be seriously damaged and the guarantee is lost.

No flammable substances are allowed to be used or placed in the proximity of the apparatus. The smallest safety distance is 100cm; heat insulation is required for smaller distances.

5

1.3. Exhaust equipment effects:

If no sufficient ventilation is ensured, exhaust equipment in the same air space with the fireplace (including rooms behind a door provided with a ventilation grille or rooms with doors open) may disturb fireplace operation. Therefore exhaust devices must be provided with the air supply indispensable for their operation.

Important: if, for instance, outward air flow is only ensured for your vapour extraction device, it will not operate efficiently because it cannot take in air from anywhere. E.g. an exhaust device with a capacity of 600 cubic metres of air / hour will carry only 200 cubic metres of air. This reduces air pressure in your living space which is less than favourable to our general state of health. In certain cases, return flow can occur in case of not completely closed fireboxes (smoke gets into the living space) when out of service or when the door is opened. In case of inadequate ventilation, the firebox glass is also increasingly sooted.

1.4. Operation of a water jacket firebox

A firebox with a water jacket is only allowed to be operated if connected to a water system filled up with water, designed and installed by a heating engineer. The specialist makes sure to integrate the firebox into the system appropriately, connected to each of the 1inch forward and return stubs diagonally, by plugging any unused stubs in order to prevent overcooling for adequate efficiency. The two halfinch stubs with external threading are the connection points for the cooling circuit (coilpipe) to prevent water from boiling and steam generation; they should not be plugged in case of an open system. It is recommended to fill the firebox with soft deionized water.

6

ATTENTION: the boiler protection circuit is required to be built in the central heating system to prevent overcooling and is a condition for guarantee provision. Precipitation of moisture and condensation water must be prevented as they highly corrode the metal and result in tar deposition, reduce efficiency and output, and these phenomena entail a loss of guarantee.

ATTENTION: the 4 threaded ¾-inch studs on the firebox are to accommodate handles.

2. Firebox structure:

PanTherm fireboxes are made of cast iron. PanTech fireboxes are made of 4 and 5 mm thick, and PanAqua fireboxes of 5 mm thick steel plates, constituting the firebox together with up to 700oC heat-proof glass.

2.1. Firebox use:

Door: the firebox is not allowed to be lifted and tilted by taking hold of the door; it is prohibited to lean on and to clutch at the door during use as it cannot bear this load.

Glass: beware of the direct use of strong chemical cleaners on nero glasses.

Flame deflector: PanTherm fireboxes include a casting flame deflector for appropriate flame control, fitted into the u-shaped recess for this purpose on the back wall in various ways according to type.

Figure 4.

The firebox is not allowed to be operated without a flame deflector.

7

Grills: to ensure that the burning wood gets sufficient air through the ash box and that the ash gets into the ash box, so the grills should always be in the same position.

Heat-proof lining of the firebox: the vermiculite lining to protect metal plate fireboxes (PanTech firebox family, and optional for PanAqua fireboxes) decays when wet firewood (exceeding 15-20% moisture content) is used, therefore wet firewood is prohibited.

Convection cover: an optional metal sheet cover (available for PanTherm and PanTech firebox products) surrounding the firebox casing, where firebox operation is only allowed with parallel fan use (air flow around the firebox is slowed down by the convection cover, therefore little heat is lost; in some cases, flow is not even started so there is no appropriate heat delivery during operation leading to overload. Thereby efficiency is very low and the firebox also gets damaged, which is not a case for guarantee claims).

Overload seal: the piece part indicates with form-change or melt on the fire, that the firebox gets heavy by overload is permitted.

3. Lighting a fire:

Definition of overload: firing a quantity of firewood exceeding the

quantity corresponding to the output of the firebox on a pro-rata basis; and / or even heat delivery by the firebox is not ensured.

WARNING: firing a quantity of firewood exceeding the quantity corresponding to the output of the firebox on a pro-rata basis results in firebox overload, leading to serious firebox damage and injury to both the cover and the chimney.

8

Sudden heat shock: sudden excessive heat load in the heatup stage.

WARNING: Burning 1 kg of firewood yields about 3.65KW of heat

quantity. The maximum loadability of your firebox is yielded by dividing the output of the firebox with 3.65, the result being the quantity (in kg) of wood allowed to be used each hour.

E.g.: 15kW output / 3.65 = 4.1 wood / hour

Overload and sudden heat shock are prohibited, entailing a loss of guarantee.

Only hardwood should be used for firing, such as beech, oak, locust, ash, alder and wood from various fruit trees. The burning time of hardwoods is longer than that of soft wood; they produce less ash and their tar content is low. Soft wood can only be used for lighting fires. Soft wood types (birch, lime, pine, poplar and Lombardy poplar) burn quicker, yield large quantities of ash and their embers cool down quickly. As they flicker quickly, it is easy to overload the firebox with them. It is prohibited to use coniferous woods with resin content as they burn with intense and rapid flames, and resin crystals make them crackle and sizzle frequently with bursts of sparkles. In line with the known dimensions of the firebox of the fireplace, firewood should be cut into 30-60 cm long logs and stored at a place not exposed to precipitation.

Only dry wood should be used, with a moisture content below 1520%, both in order to achieve best efficiency and to avoid excessive sooting and tarring of the flue pipe and the glass.

9

3.1. Procedure of lighting a fire:

- Remove any ash from previous fire; clean glass as required.

- Open the air control shutters at the bottom of the door.

- After replacing the ash tray / ash box, pile dry softwood cut into a

thumb’s width into the combustion chamber and put 3-4 kg

firewood on top of it.

- Then light a fire under the softwood using paper.

- Air for combustion must be supplied continuously through the

regulator for even heating.

- A burn-in smell may emanate from firebox inlets during the first use,

which is to discontinue after 7-8 hours of continuous firing. The

room should be aired in such a case as high concentrations of the

gases released can be injurious to health and can cause aesthetic

damage as well.

- External air supply must be ensured, especially in case of small air

space and perfectly sealed doors and windows.
