5 Stola 

 

Before the heating unit is installed, make sure that 
the load capacity of the supporting construction is 
sufficient to carry the weight of the entire unit. 
 
 

 

 
For your own safety stringent laws apply to the 
connecting of the stovepipe to the chimney. Your 
professional dealer or distributor knows these laws. 
Please have your certified retailer carry out the 
connection of your stove. 

 

 

 

 
Your stove was treated with a special 
environmentally friendly lacquer. The lacquer 
surface is still soft at the time the stove is shipped. 
The lacquer will harden when your stove is used 
for the first time. The lacquer surface may not be 
touched when it is heated for the first time. The 
stove must be initially heated to a high temperature 
for at least 1.5 hours. Visible vapors may appear 
during the hardening of the lacquer. For this 
reason it will be necessary to open windows during 
initial operation in order let the vapors escape into 
the outdoors. 
 
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: It takes several heating 
sessions before for your stove releases only the 
pleasant smell of burning wood.  
 

 
Dry, well cured and natural wood, wood briquettes. 
 

 

 
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,65 kg 
wood or 1,5 kg wood briquettes. Larger amounts of 
fuel can lead to overheating and thus damage the 
stove. 
 

 

 
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture < 
15%) and untreated and the right amount of wood 
must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that 
releases only small amounts of emissions. 
 

 
Prepare everything you need for starting the fire—
soft wood chips, igniter materials (such as 
Thermohit wood/coal igniter), uncoated paper, 
wood. Figure 1 provides a good overview of the 
materials you will need. 
 

 
 
 
Open the primary and secondary air all the way. 
Move both sliders. See Figure 2. 
 
Open the stove door. 
 
Lay uncoated paper on the floor of the firebox. 
Lay soft wood chips onto the paper. 
Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips. 
 

 
Light the paper. 
Close the firebox. 
As soon as the chips are burning well, close the 
primary air supply.
