It should be taken into account that the use of thick-walled pipes leads to rapid deposition of soot and
formation of condensation on inner walls of pipes. The reason is longer time needed to warm thick walls
with rough inner surface as opposed to recommended pipes with polished inner surface.
OPERATION
Before operation, ensure the normal functioning of all components of the stove, of the flue pipe and
protective structures and thoroughly ventilate the room.
Attention! When you fire the stove for the first time, an unpleasant smell may emit because of burnout
of industrial oil, deposited on the metal, and volatile components of silicone enamel.You
will notice an odor and perhaps see some vapor rise from the stove surface; this is normal.
The special high temperature paint, that your stove is finished with, will cure as your stove
heats. The first usage of the stove should be produced in the open air with fire safety
measures, for at least 1 hour, with a maximum load of the firebox.
Before the operation, check and, if necessary, clean the flue line of soot. As a precaution it is recommended
to clean the flue at least once every two months.
There are many ways to build a fire. The basic principle is to light easily-ignitable tinder or paper, which
ignites fast burning kindling, which in turn ignites slow-burning firewood.
Attention! You have an unusual stove, which produces electricity. This description doesn’t concern this
matter. For the operation with electricity generation refer to the next chapter.
Attention! Before start of operation the stove should be inspected and repaired. A malfunctioning stove
is not allowed for operation.
Attention! Make sure that no combustibles are in the area close to the stove. Be sure the room is
adequately ventilated and the flue is unobstructed.
1. Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.
2. Lay dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
3. Pull out the ash drawer to provide intense ignition of fuel.
4. Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal
lighter fluid; the results can be very dangerous.
5. Once the kindling is burning quickly, lay wood in the firebox. To ensure the access of air into the
combustion zone lay firewood loosely. Stack the pieces of wood with care
6. After 5 to 10 minutes, when the fire is well established, smoothly push the ash drawer and open the
small gate on the ash drawer. To regulate the intensity of burning, which affects the combustion rate,
adjust the air supply by opening or closing the small gate on the ash drawer. The angle of a small gate
opening is determined experimentally during the operation.
7. When you are ready to reload the stove, add more logs as long as there are hot coals. Large logs burn
slowly, holding a fire longer. Small logs burn fast and hot, giving quick heat.
Danger! Do not light a fire with flammable vapors, chemicals or fluids such as gasoline, engine oil,
alcohol etc. Do not burn treated wood, colored paper, cardboard, solvents or garbage. During
the combustion they can release hazardous gases. Do no use coal!
Danger! Do not leave unattended stove burning and do not delegate supervision to children.
Danger! Do not lay fuel and other combustible substances and materials on the front cover sheet.
