Essential requirements
It is necessary to ensure that the whole unit with connecting pieces and chimney will be safe during operation. The whole uni t must be safe and easy
to clean.
THE DATA OF SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF FIRE PROTECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL STANDARDS
The fireplace insert must be installed, so that all required demands of national technical standards and regulations have been kept.
Be especially careful to maintain a minimum distance from any combustible objects during the fireplace installation.
The minimum safe distance from combustible material with combustibility degree of B, C1 and C2 is min. 200 mm. For a combustibility degree of
C3 and for unsubstantiated combustibility degree in accordance with national standards it is necessary to double the distance.
The unit may be used in a normal environment in compliance with national technical standards and regulations. When this environment changes and
there could be a temporary fire or explosion risk (e.g. at work with paint substances, at linoleum mounting, etc.) the unit must be removed
immediately.
Note: The hot water fireplace insert must be situated a safe distance from other domestic equipment.
The hot water fireplace insert must not be used without water and it must be connected
with the central heating which ensures adequate heat outlet! Use without water connection, the guarantee expires.
Information about the combustibility level of some combustion materials
The combustibility level of the construction material
A incombustible – granite, sandstone, concrete, aerated concrete, bricks, ceramics facing
B hardly combustible – acumin, heraclit, plasterboard, itaver
C1 hard combustibility – leafy wood, plywood, sirkolit, hardened paper, Formica TM
C2 medium combustibility – cork sheet, solodur, indie-rubber, floor material
C3 easily combustible – wood-fibre sheets, polystyrene, polyurethane, PVC
Ash removal
At least once a day it is necessary to remove ash, with the help of a clinkering bar, from the bottom part of the fireplace insert. The best time is in the
morning because of the relatively cold state of the fireplace. It is possible to put wooden ash on compost or to use it as manure. Fireplace inserts without
grate: the layer of ash mustn´t reach the edge of the door. If the fireplace is covered with a layer of ash, there is a risk of falling embers from the fire.
Before emptying of ash make sure that there are no cinders in it. Even in cold ash it is possible to find embers, which
can cause a fire in an ash bin.
Cleaning and maintenance
You should clean your fireplace at least twice per heating season or if needed. Clean it when it is cold. The most important for cleaning are tubes of
exchanger and smoke flue bend. For cleaning, you need to remove deflectors – see below and brush properly all tubes with brush of
Ø70mm. Remove
covering of the bend and clean the smoke flue.
The best way how to clean the glass is to use a special cleaner for glass (do not use any cleaners with
an abrasive action!).
Service opening door for cleaning
The corner fireplace inserts with sliding door – the door is possible to open sidewards, around the hinge. Before opening, it is necessary to pull
out the stop safety lock (1). Then unlock the locks on the top and bottom door parts using the special key (provided with the insert)(2) and open
the door. When closing the door, it is necessary to make sure, the 2 safety locks (3) are fully clipped in the door slots and it is necessary to lock
the door with the provided key again.
For flat door inserts with sliding door system, the door is open towards to you for cleaning. You unlock the lock (4) on the top door part using
the loop. In the cleaning position towards to you, the door is supported with stop drawbar (5). For closing the door again, you only push and
click strongly the door back.
For normal opening fireplace inserts, opening sideward, it is possible to unhang the door for better cleaning – follow the pictures:

Door adjusting and door unhanging for service
The front door is possible to unhang for more comfortable cleaning and service. First throw up safety pin on the top hinge (pict. 9). After, the
door can be uplifted and be unhung from the fireplace insert (pict. 11).
The door adjusting is possible due to adjustable bottom hinge. After dismounting of the frame (pict. 10), loose two screws M6 on the bottom of
the frame (pict. 12) and move hinge into the position requested. For easy access to screws of the hinges it is necessary to keep space between
veneer and bottom part of the frame. This space is important for additional demounting of door contact.
