1.2

Designs of wood-burning stoves

DIN 18 891 distinguishes wood-burning stoves of design 1 and 2. Wood-burning stoves of design 1 have a self-
closing combustion chamber door and may be connected to a common flue with other appliances. For safety
reasons the door of the combustion chamber must always be closed except during operation. Wood-burning stoves
of design 2 must be connected to a dedicated flue. They can be operated with the combustion chamber open under
supervision.

ALL STORCH WOOD-BURNING STOVES CORRESPOND TO DESIGN 1 IN ACCORDANCE WITH
DIN 18 891.

1.3

Delivery

Goods  may  get  damaged  during  transport  even  in  case  of  an  apparently  undamaged  package.  Therefore,  you
should check the  wood-burning stove carefully and report possible damage to the forwarder within one week. If
you  find  visible  damage  of  the  product  or  its  package,  indicate  this  fact  in  the  delivery  document  right  on
acceptance of the goods.

1.4

Unpacking

All cardboard and plastic parts are recyclable. Please, take these parts
of  the  package  to  your  local  recycling  collection  point.  All  wooden
parts do not have any surface treatment and can be used as fuel in your
wood-burning stove. Please, remove the package very carefully  so as
not  to  damage  anything.  Before  the  installation  make  sure  that  the
bottom  structure  has  a  sufficient  load-bearing  capacity  to  carry  the
weight  of  the  stove!  For  transport  of  your  stove  only  use  approved
auxiliary equipment with a sufficient lifting capacity.
Please,  do  not  put  any  objects  on  your  wood-burning  stove  and  it  is
not designed to be used as a ladder or stand either.

1.5

Recommended fuel

Recommended fuel is split wood with the piece length of 33 cm and the diameter of 10 cm as well as wooden
briquettes in accordance with DIN 51731 HP2.
Air-dried split wood may only be used.

Burning of waste and especially plastic is forbidden in accordance

with the German Emission Protection Act.

Besides, this damages the combustion chamber and the flue. You

will  obtain  air-dried  split  wood  with  maximum  20%  of  water  after  at  least  a  one-year  (soft  wood)  or  two-year
(hard wood) drying period.
Wood  is  no  material  for  permanent  burning,  so  it  cannot  be  used  to  maintain  fire  in  the  combustion  chamber
overnight.

Safety instructions (please, read, very important!!!)



Please, read the User Manual carefully before you first used the stove. It contains information about
safe use of the wood-burning stove.



Only use a protective glove to open the door!!! This way you can supply wood to the fire even though
the handle is hot. When the stove is in use, only touch it with a protective glove!!!



Repeatedly check whether the stove is connected to the flue in accordance with regulations.



During operation the stove surface gets very hot. Please, keep an eye especially on playing children.
Little children are most endangered and therefore they should be strictly kept away.



Please, make sure that no flammable material is found near the stove or even on the stove.



No flammable object may be positioned in the heat radiation area of the stove.



Always keep the door of the combustion chamber closed even though the stove is not used (except the
first heating-up).



Avoid overloading your stove by supplying too much fuel.



Never ignite the stove with the use of alcohol, petrol or other unsuitable flammable substances.



Make sure that the ashpan is never completely filled with ash as otherwise the air supply for the stove
would be insufficient.



Always push the ashpan to the stove up to the stop.



Ensure sufficient supply of fresh air for the draught of the stove. The stove consumes oxygen.



Do not forget that a running kitchen fan in the same or adjacent room causes vacuum. It can cause
suctioning of smoke into the room. Make sure that a sufficient supply of combustion air is available.
