1. Installation

1.1 Safety measures

1. The stoves are tested to EN 12815 (see identification plate).

2. For installation and for flue gas connections, the requirements of the Fire

Regulations (FeuVO in Germany) apply, as well as local building regulations such
as the following technical standards DIN 18896, DIN 4705, EN 13384, DIN 18160,
EN 1856-2 and EN 15287. In order for the stove to function correctly the chimney to
which you want to connect the stove must be in good condition.

3. Before first use and before connecting to the chimney, you must read the
Instructions for Use carefully and inform the local authority responsible for
approving heating systems.

4. While installing the stove you are recommended to wear clean cotton gloves, in
order to avoid leaving fingerprints which can be difficult to remove afterwards.

5. In the interests both of clean air, and of the safe functioning of the stove, the fuel
quantities listed in the Instructions for Use should never be exceeded, and the
doors of the stove must be shut during use to avoid the risk of overheating, which
can lead to damage to the stove. Damage due to this cause is not covered by the
guarantee.

6. The stove doors must remain shut at all times while the stove is in use.

7. Permitted fuels are:

- Natural chopped firewood (up to 35 cm max. in length)

- Lignite (brown coal) briquettes (see permitted fuels in the Instructions for Use)

8. Never use liquid fire starters. Use either special firelighters or wood shavings.

9. Burning rubbish, fine chips, bark, coal slack, chips from planing, damp wood or

wood treated with preservative, paper, cardboard or similar is not permitted.

10. The first time the stove is heated there may be some smoke and an unpleasant
smell. Make sure that the room is well ventilated (open windows and doors) and
heat for at least an hour at the maximum nominal heat load. If the maximum
temperature is not reached the first time the stove is heated, then there may be
further unpleasant smells at a later date.

11. All controls and settings must be used as indicated in the Instructions for Use.
When the stove is hot, please handle only using the implements or protective
gloves provided.

12. If the stove is not working correctly, or if the chimney is not drawing properly,
smoke may appear when the fire door is opened. It is very important to only open
the fire door slowly, initially just a crack, then wait a few seconds before opening
fully. In addition, before opening the fire door to top up the fuel, make sure that only
glowing material is present: there must not be any visible flames.

13. Do not place any flammable items in the warming drawer or on the surface of the
stove.

14. When in use, all surfaces and particularly the glass doors and handles and other
controls can become very hot. Make children, young people, older people and
animals aware of this danger, and keep them away from this source of heat when

29

the stove is being used. Use the protective gloves or the implements provided.
Children and young people under 16 must not use the stove unless supervised by
an adult who is responsible for them.

15. Make sure that the ash pan is always fully pushed in, until it touches the back.
Never remove ashes while still hot (fire risk).

16. In spring and autumn the chimney may no longer draw correctly, so that gases
produced by combustion are not completely removed. The fire chamber should
then be filled with a small quantity of fuel, ideally with wood shavings, and lit under
supervision, in order to stabilise the chimney draught. The grate must be clean.

17. After each prolonged period of use for heating, have the stove checked by a
professional. The flues and pipes for the evacuation of fumes must also be
thoroughly cleaned.

18. If repairs or replacements are necessary, please contact your supplier with the
necessary article numbers and serial numbers in good time. Only original
WAMSLER replacement parts may be used.

19. Work such as installation, setup, commissioning and services, as well as repairs,
must only be carried out by qualified personnel (heating system or space heating
technicians). Intervention by non-qualified persons invalidates the warranty and
guarantee.

20. As the solid fuel oven/stove draws the air required for combustion from the
surrounding room, you must ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in through non­sealed windows and outside doors. It can be assumed that is this is provided by a
room volume of at least 4 m³ per kW nominal heat capacity. If the volume is less
than this, then air vents can be used to provide access to further air in other rooms
(min. 150 cm²).

21. You must ensure that the correct safety distance is maintained from all flammable
components and materials – to the side, rear and front. These distances can be
found in the Instructions for Use or the identification plate.

22. The fire chamber must not be modified.

23. Connection to a chimney whose functional height is less than 4 m, or if multiple

stoves are installed, 5 m, is not permitted. A maximum of two other fires can be
connected to the chimney which is to be connected the stove.

24. If the chimney catches fire immediately close all doors and openings and call the
fire brigade. Do not attempt to extinguish the fire yourself. Afterwards have the
chimney thoroughly checked out by a professional.

25. Solid fuels naturally create soot, so it is always possible that the window glass will
become dirty: this does not mean there is a malfunction.

1.3 Instructions

For installation and for connection of flue, the requirements of the Fire
Regulations (FeuVO in Germany) apply, as well as local building regulations
such as the following technical standards DIN 18896, DIN 4705, EN 13384,
DIN 18160, EN 1856-2 and EN 15287. In order for the stove to function
correctly the chimney to which you want to connect the stove must be in good
condition.

1.4 Surrounding space

The stove draws the air required for burning from the surrounding room. You
must ensure that sufficient air can be drawn in through non-sealed windows
and outside doors. In addition you must ensure that a room volume/heat
capacity ratio of at least 4 m³ per kW nominal heat capacity is available. If the
volume is less than this, then air vents can be used to provide access to further
air supply in other rooms (connecting vents min. 150 cm²).

1.5 Air supply

A constant supply of oxygen or air is required for the combustion process.
Normally the air available in the room where the stove is installed will be
sufficient.
If the windows and doors are well insulated, if mechanical air extraction
mechanisms are present ( e.g. in a kitchen or bathroom) or if there are other
sources of fire (including gas boilers) in the home, then the supply of available
air can be significantly impacted. If this is the case, the option exists to draw in
air for burning directly from outdoors or from another, well-ventilated room (e.g.
a cellar).
The stoves provide a built-in air supply opening in the base, Ø 80 mm.
For the air supply you must use only smooth pipes with a minimum diameter of
80 mm. A shutoff valve must be placed in the air supply close to the stove,
which must be installed professionally, at the bends there must be inspection
openings for the local authority responsible for approving heating systems and
it must be professionally sealed against condensation. The pipe must not
be longer than 4 m and must not have more than 3 bends. If the pipe exits out­of-doors, then it must have appropriate wind protection and be covered by a
mesh.

NOTE: In the room where the stove is installed or in the neighbouring

rooms there must not be any air extractors or similar equipment.
These could cause considerable operating problems and even
represent a risk. Consult the local authority responsible for
approving heating systems.

NOTE

: The room where the stove is to be installed must not have

equipment such as extractor hoods, ventilation systems etc. which
could mean that that room or neighbouring rooms have reduced air
pressure.

Important NOTES relevant to operation dependent on air supply from
room or independent of air supply from room (valid for Germany – as of

January 2005):

•

The stoves have been tested under EN 12815 as stoves relying on air
supply from room. The stoves take in all the air required for combustion
via the central air intake from the surrounding room. This intake can have an
external enclosed air supply attached to it. Even with this sealed air supply
the stoves do not meet the requirements for operation independent of the
air supply from the room.

•

If used in combination with air management systems (e.g. controlled air
supply and evacuation systems, steam extractors or similar) then in
Germany Part 4 of Fire Regulations (FeuVO) apply. These determine
among other things, that the stove and the air management systems must
be jointly managed (e.g. using a differential pressure monitor) or an air
supply system must be installed, which is approved for use with solid fuel
stoves and which supplies the room where it is installed with sufficient
additional air (approx. 40 m³/h) for the combustion in the fire box.

•

You must always comply – in consultation with the local authority
responsible for approving heating systems – with the local rules and
regulations. We cannot accept any responsibility for changes subsequent
to the publication of this instruction manual. We reserve the right to make
changes.
