General information
The Black Diamond
Black Diamond Compact with duct casing
The Black Diamond is a combination of comfort and efficient heat emission. The large glass panes allow
emission of the heat from the stove directly to the environment to make your room instantly comfortable. The
built-in flue gas deflector ensures circulation of flue gases in the interior parts. Combined with the extra after-
burning, it means that the flue gases have better combustion and reduce the burden on the environment. You
can regulate the intake of combustion air with the integrated air slide valve and adjust the intensity of the fire
and the output of your stove.
Installation
It is common practice for the dealer where you purchased your Black Diamond stove to also take care of
installing it. If this is not the case, please ensure that the installation is done by a certified installer. A certified
installer can also give you the right advice about the flue tube to which the stove must be connected.
Connecting wood-burning stoves by unqualified persons is prohibited, in which case we cannot give any
guarantee about proper functioning of your Black Diamond stove. Please bear the fire safety in mind when
installing the stove. See also page 24.
The wood-burning stove is suitable as an extra heat source and does not replace your principal
heating device.
Lighting the stove
Usage early in autumn or late in winter
When the external and internal temperatures do not differ much, a proper chimney draught is a real
challenge. You can help chimney draught get started by burning some wood while keeping all air
inlets maximally open. An abundant air supply speeds up quick heating which in turn increases the
draught in the chimney. Lighting up the stove with only a little wood prevents smoke from streaming
into the room.
The stove will become very hot when you light it and will need at least two hours to cool off. Don’t
touch the stove without protection during firing and for two hours after. Handle the stove always with
a glove to avoid getting serious burns.
