frequent burn-down to the basic embers should be avoided.

•  Double glazing (IR reflective surface): Through application of oxidic 

coatings on the glass surface, infrared spectral components from the 
combustion chamber are reflected to a great extent. These coatings 
generate the interference colours (similar to a rainbow), the so-called IR 
reflective surface. Through this colouration, the quality characteristic of 
the „IR reflective surface“ is visible, i.e. recognisable. This colouration 
cannot be removed.

•  To operate the stove with nominal heat output, the following  prerequisites 

are necessary.

     - Combustion must be operated with a closed door.
     - Chimney draught: 12 Pa
     -  Negative pressures greater than 20-25 Pa can influence correct 

operation. In this regard, contamination of the view pane can increase 
or noise can be intensified!

     - Wood:  

Dry beech wood (moisture < 18%)

     - Wood feed quantity:  

3.7 kg; distributed over three similar logs.

     - Air setting:  

 1/4 opened, may need to be slightly 
adapted depending on local conditions 
(see example). During the combustion 
phase the air lever can be opened for 
several minutes.

     -  At a combustion time of approx. 70 minutes the provided output of the 

fireplace insert that is given off is approx. 10 kW.

3. INITIAL COMMISSIONING

Heat generation systems must only be produced and installed by  specialised 
companies. The initial commissioning must only be executed by an expert 
employee of the installation company. A certificate confirming proper 
 installation and proper adjustment / function of all control components and 
safety components must be given to the owner / operator of the system.

Moreover, the operator must be instructed in detail concerning the operation, 
function and maintenance of the overall system, including all supplemental 
components. In addition, the measures for maintaining safe operation of 
the system must be communicated to the operator. Execution of instruction 
must be documented in the commissioning protocol! The installation and 
operating manual must always be kept in good condition in the vicinity of 
the Nova F, where it can be easily accessed.

4. OPERATION

For operation, also comply with the instructions in the operating manual 
of the fireplace inserts. The instructions in this installation and operating 
manual refer to special operation of a heating insert, such as the Nova F.

•  The fireplace insert locking door must always be operated with a 

 self-closing door. This means that the combustion chamber door is gen-
erally closed. The door may only be opened to put on more firewood or 
for cleaning when in a cool state. Manipulation of the closing device is 
prohibited.

•  The distance between flammable parts/furniture and the view pane must 

be at least 80 cm!

•  The fireplace insert is designed for the burning of dry, untreated wood 

logs with adhering bark and wood briquettes.

•  Heat exchanger deflected. If the flue gas temperature drops under this 

temperature again, the flue gas damper opens. For better efficacy of the 
heat exchanger, the Nova F should be fired as uniformly as possible, and
