1. Introduction.
We congratulate you on the excellent choice! We wish you many pleasant moments with your new appliance. If your choice is a woodburning stove, it is produced and tested in accordance with the requirements of the European standard EN 13240. If your choice is a
fireplace, it is produced and tested in accordance with the requirements of European standard EN 13229. They both respond to the
approved technical documentation.
You may expect, that you will have the opportunity to use your appliance for the purpose with which it was made, for a long period of
time, and with the least possible servicing. That is why we have a request for you, which is only for your benefit:
Do not leave this instruction manual unread. The assembly and the exploitation of a wood-burning stove or a fireplace are
connected with different legal obligations, which are explained in this instruction manual. According to the laws and
regulations for safety, when using an appliance of such class, the end user is obliged, with the help of this instruction, to
inform themselves for the assembling and the right operation of the appliance.
The correct installation, careful exploitation and care for the appliance are of great necessity for its perfect f unctioning and longevity.
The convenience of maintenance, the high level of usability of the fuels and the excellent performance in continuous burning allow the
usage of the appliance as a room heater of full value adding a comfortable atmosphere around the live fire.
Respecting all the directions in this instruction manual guarantees that your appliance will provide you with a lot of joy. By keeping the
instruction manual in a good condition, you will always be able to inform yourself about the right maintenance of the appliance before
the beginning of the heating season.
2. Appliance assembling.
2.1. Wood-burning stove.
The technical parameters of a wood-burning stove are given in Appendix №1.
Installation diagrams for a wood-burning stove with an integral boiler are given in Appendix №2.
It is necessary the following conditions to be kept in order to ensure a safe and correct work of the wood-burning stove:
The wood-burning stove should be installed in rooms with sufficient airflow, which is required for the combustion.
Not every wood-burning stove could be connected to any chimney. Before assembling the wood-burning stove, check if the
static pressure and the chimney dimensions conforms to the needed parameters for the wood-burning stove. If the woodburning stove does not conform to the chimney, it will lead to a lower burning rate and polluting the glass with soot.
The chimney should be high enough (at least five meters). Only one more wood-burning stove can be connected to the same
chimney. The flue draught should be higher than 10 Pa but for stoves with a boiler up to 15 Pa. If the chimney is too high (the
draught exceeding 35 Pa) then it is necessary to mount a supplementary valve to reduce the draught.
The chimney should be very well insulated, with inside diameter at least ø 150 mm or with a section area at least 200 сm

.
The wood-burning stove should not be connected to a chimney when there is a solid fuel boiler connected to it.
The floor, where the wood-burning stove is placed, should be flat and horizontal, made of non-combustible materials (mosaic,
marble, terracotta, etc.). If the floor is not heat resistant (carpets, linoleums or others of the same kind) a stable, noncombustible platform should be used, made of steel, glass or stone plates.
If there are any combustible materials or constructions, the wood-burning stove should be away from them at specified
distances (see Appendix №1) or there must be put an additional incombustible screen.
After the installation of the wood-burning stove, it has to be attached to the chimney through flue pipes. The connections
between the flue pipes and the socket should be tight. The flue pipe should not enter into the chimney.
2.2. Fireplace.
Technical parameters of a fireplace are given in Appendix №1.
Installation diagrams for a fireplace with an integral boiler are given in Appendix №2.
Please, observe all the requirements shown in point 2.1. In addition, it is necessary to observe the following conditions:
It is recommended, the assembling of the fireplace to be done by competent installation company.
At the installation of the fireplace, connection to the chimney and building of the surround thermos-resistant and
inflammable materials should be used only.
The fireplace can be installed into special recess or a special surround with walls and ceiling can encase it. The floor, where the
fireplace will be placed, should be smooth and leveled, made of non-combustible materials (mosaic, marble, terracotta, etc.)
and possessing enough loading capacity. If the floor is not stable, a suitable reinforced concrete plate has to be done. The
fireplace has to be fixed to the base.
It is necessary to ensure enough distance between the fireplace and surround, as well as enabling the natural air convection.
The walls of the surround have to be well insulated against overheating and thermal losses. The insulation material has to be
foiled and to have a temperature resistance from 700°С up to 1200°C.
It has to be providing air convection by special ventilation grilles.
A suitable temperature resistant fan can be inserting into the ventilation system to improve the heating efficiency.
If your fireplace is fit with an integral boiler, all additional components like pump, valves, etc., have to be placed in a visible
and easy for access places. Servicing apertures have to be provided.
The fireplace should be installed in rooms with sufficient air flow which is required for the combustion.

3. Appliance operation.
3.1.Fuels.
The most appropriate fuels are dry cleaved wood (wood logs) and briquettes. The wood logs, stored in the open under sheds, reach a
humidity level of 10%-15% after 2 years, when they are most suitable for combustion. We recommend to burn wood dried as much as
possible. The maximum heat output is reached after burning wood logs dried for at least 2 years period.
The newly cut wood has little calorific value, high humidity and burns poorly –they extract many flue gases and additionally
contaminate the environment. This leads to minimizing the longevity of the appliance and chimney as well. The increased conde nsate
and tar content in the flue gases leads to blocking up the flue pipes and the chimney, and an appreciable impurity of the glass. When
using them, the heat output of the appliance falls to 50%, and the fuel consumption grows twice. The type and the recommended
quantity of fuel for the appliance are given in Appendix №1.
It is not recommended to use the following fuels in the appliance: wet or tarred wood, shavings, fine coal, paper and cardboard (except
for the ignition), polymeric materials.
Do not use liquid fuels.
Do not use the appliance like a furnace for burning waste matters.
If the appliance is used for burning unalloyed fuels then the warranty is not valid.
3.2. Components.
Glass
The mounted glass is ceramic, and it stands up to 850°C so it cannot be damaged by the temperature, which is achieved when the
appliance is operating. It could be damaged by a mechanical influence when installing or transporting the appliance, or by putting big
wooden logs into the firebox.
The glass belongs to the spare parts which are quickly worn out and that is why it is not included in the warranty conditions.
Polluting the glass with soot
The construction of the appliance helps during exploitation not to pollute the glass with soot. The soot is accumulated only when there
is bad burning, which may be caused by some reasons: the static pressure and the dimension of the chimney do not conform to the
required parameters of the appliance, the airflow necessary for combustion process is stopped too early, or the right fuel is not used. In
order to keep the glass as clean as possible from soot, the wood logs must b e placed in such a manner that the cut surface is not facing
to the glass.
We cannot influence those factors and that is the reason why we cannot guarantee that the glass will not be polluted with soot.
Refractory plates (fireclay or vermiculite)
The firebox is supplied with refractory plates. These plates keep the heat and give it back into the firebox in order to increase the
burning temperature. The higher is the burning temperature, the higher is the efficiency of the burning process. As a result of too high
temperatures or mechanical influences the refractory plates might be damaged. Extremely high temperatures may be achieved whe n
with high flue draught of the chimney, the primary and secondary air controls are open, and thus it makes a burning out of control.
Under mechanical influence, it is understood e.g. throwing a wood log into the firebox or using bigger wood logs.
The refractory plates might be easily exchanged. If there is only a crack then it is not necessary to change them. It is necessary only in
case when the metal parts between them or under them can be visibly seen.
The refractory plates are quickly worn out and that is why they are not included in the warranty conditions.
Sealing
The sealing of the appliance are made of special glass fiber and does not content asbestos. This material is worn out during usage and
the sealing must be periodically exchanged. Your shopkeeper could order these sealing to us.
The sealing is quickly worn out part and that is why it is not included in the warranty conditions.
Bottom grate
The lower part of the firebox is supplied with a cast-iron grate. Nails in the wooden material, small wooden parts, the residue, etc.
could block this grate up. You are advised to clean regularly the grate in order to keep its functionality. The grate could burn when
using inappropriate fuel or reaching high temperatures due to incorrect servicing.
The grate is quickly worn out and that is why it is not included in the warranty conditions.
Paint
The appliance is painted with highly temperature-resistant paint. This paint is resistant to high temperatures, but it is not resistant to
rust. Please do not put any objects on the paint. When dust eventually accumulates then clean by brush or dry towel, but not by wet
towel or water.
When the appliance is set to work for the first time, it is necessary to leave the paint to be heated for a few hours to be baked and to
reach its ultimate stability. During the first fire, there could be visible shades in the paint color. During that period do not put anything
on the appliance or do not touch the outer surface, so that it can remain unaffected. The smell, which is produced, is caused by the
baking of the paint and disappears after a few hours. That is why the room should be well aired.
Because of overheating or incorrect servicing, the color changes into white-grey or a stain of rust appears or a part of the surface is
damaged, then it is not a problem. You may order a spray in the appropriate color to your shopkeeper.
Handles and knobs
The handles and knobs of the appliance are made of brass or steel. This is an advantage because they cannot be worn out. They are
heated to such a degree as the front part of the appliance is, that is why they must be serviced by using a heat -resistant glove.
Tea shelf and Bottom niche
They are decorative parts and it is not allowed storage of easy combustible materials in them.
