The installation and commissioning of the fireplace insert with water jacket should be carried
out by a qualified assembly team.
5. Fuel
5.1. Recommended fuel
- the producer recommends to use logs of decidueus trees such as: beech, hornbeam, oak, alder, birch,
ash-tree etc. of the following dimensions of logs or chips: ca. 30 cm long and from 30 cm to 50 cm.
- the moisture content of the wood used for firing the appliance should not exceed 20% which corre-
sponds to the wood seasoned for two years after felling, stored under a roof.
5.2. Unrecommended fuel
The appliance should not be fired with logs or chips with the moisture content exceeding 20% as it
may result in failure to achieve declared technical parameters - lower calorific value.
It is not recommended to use too small logs or chips to fire the appliance as it may result in sudden
increase of water temperature - boiling of water as well as significant increase of flue gas temperature
and fire of the chimney.
It is not recommended to use coniferous or resinous wood logs or chips since they cause excessive dirt
of the appliance and necessity of frequent cleaning of the appliance and the chimney flue.
5.3. Prohibited fuel
It is prohibited to burn in the appliance any waste, particularly chemical one, due the emission of toxic
substances in the process of burning.
6. Working principle
6.1. Fire-up and fuel charge
a) open the starting damper (13) with a knob (15);
b) open the door (2) with a bolt (4);
c) open to the maximum the air throttle with a handle (9);
d) put some paper or special tinder on the grate (10), place small twigs, than bigger pieces of ca. 3-5
diameter,
e) Ignite the paper and close the door (2),
f ) once the tinder is fired up close the damper (13),
g) When the heat fire-up layer (ca. 2cm thick) is ready, fill up the hearth with appropriate fuel. each time
when you fill up the hearth with fuel remember to do as follows:
- open the starting damper (13),
- set ajar and then open the door (2) gently,
- in needed remove ash and fill the hearth up with fuel, - close the door(2),
- once the fuel is ignited, close the starting damper (13);
h) The desired burning intensity is obtained by controlling the primary air throttle by means of the
handle (9),
i) during the first few hours of the appliance operation future users are recommended to operate the
fireplace insert with water jacket at low loads of ca. 30-50% of rated load due to too big thermal stress
that may lead to its excessive use and even cause damage to the appliance.
It is not allowed to pour, soak wood with easily combustible liquids like petrol, fuel oil, solvent etc. or
to add these materials to the hearth to speed up the fuel fire-up.
Vapours of these liquids are a strong explosive mixture!!!
6.2. Normal operation of the fireplace insert with water jacket
To fire the fireplace insert with water jacket use the logs or chips of deciduous trees of the following
dimensions: ca. 30 cm long and from 30 cm to 50 cm in circumference or lignite briquette.
To achieve the rated thermal power of the fireplace insert with water jacket fill up the hearth with 4-5
