Dear customer, First of all we would like to thank you for having chosen us and your trust in us will not be failed, as Thermo stava is, due to its design and characteristics, the leading product in category of the similar products due to its features and design. Become introduced with its characteristics and possibilities, read the Instruction carefully and follow it in order to avoid irregularitiries in the stove operation.
1. INTRODUCTORY NOTES Read the instructions carefully and follow the rules and recommendations. Hereinafter you will fi nd the data regarding the stove itself, as well as the recommendations for the installation and maintenance of the stove. The effi ciency of a stove depends on its correct installation, which must be carried out by a professional following the highest standards and the safety regulations in force.
Dispose the stove you no longer wish to use at locations envisaged for such disposal, respecting ecological regulations and local requirements for disposal of waste materials. Only the spare parts which are allowed by the manufacturer are to be installed on the stove.

Regarding assembly to the open central heating system, the expansion vessel has to possess an overfl ow pipe as seen in the picture 5. Open expansion vessel is set vertically above the highest heating body. Note: The assembly and commissioning have to be done exclusively by an expert who guarantees correct operation of the complete heating system.

4 FLUE Special attention must be paid to the quality of the fl ue which must be made in accordance with the standards. The fl ue must be regularly maintained. The stove is connected to the fl ue through a connection, with the appropriate smoke pipes, so that the proper tightness and smoke fl ew to the fl ue are secured.
5. WOOD Only burn dry wood! You must not only select quality wood but it must also be dry at the moment in which you use it. Remember that the calorifi c power of the wood drops considerably as the presence of humidity, which means that a large part of the heat produced is used to evaporate the water and, furthermore, the risks of obstruction increase rapidly with the condensation of the vapors in the fl ue.
does not cover damages caused by improper installation, incorrect connection not in compliance with the instructions which accompany the product, or breakdowns caused by tempering from unqualifi ed or unauthorized personnel. 8. SUMMER PAUSE AND RECCOMENDATIONS FOR THE SEASON After you have cleaned the hearth, the chimney and fl ue, trying to eliminate completely the ash and other residuals, you must close the hearth door and its regulators;...
9.4 The glass gets dirty in a short time Damp wood: use dry wood (max.20% moisture) Wrong fuels (see allowed materials) Too much fuel in the hearth space Insuffi cient draft (see connection to the fl ue) Wrong regulation of the registers: if the secondary air register is closed, the glass gets dirty in a short time.
Picture 9 Primary air control is set in closed position and should be held in that position during the stove operation. When it is closed, the regulater prevents the air fl ow from the front side under the grid, by which the combustion intensity is automatically regulated with the draught regulator, which is located on the back side of the furnace.
12. FIRE SAFETY During the installation of the stove the following safety measures are to be followed: a) In order to ensure suffi cient thermal insulation, respect the minimum safety distance from objects or furnishing components fl ammable and sensitive to heat (furniture, wooden objects, fabrics etc.) and from materials with fl ammable structure.
13. AIR ENTRANCE INTO THE INSTALLATION PLACE DURING COMBUSTION As the stoves take their combustion air from the installation place, it is essential that a suffi cient quantity of air is introduced in the installation room itself. In case of hermetic doors and windows (for example houses built according to the energy saving criteria) it is possible that the air entrance is not guaranteed, compromising the draught, the welfare and the security of the people.
The combustion of wastes is FORBIDDEN and it may damage the stove and the chimney, causing health damages and spread of bad smell. The wood is not a fuel which allows a continuous operation of the appliance, as a consequence the heating all over the night is not possible. ATTENTION: the continuous and protracted use of aromatic wood (eucalyptus, myrtle etc.) quickly damages the cast iron parts of the product.
17. OPERATION IN TRANSITION PERIODS During transition periods when the external temperatures are higher, or if there is a sudden increase of temperature it can happen that the combustion gases inside the fl ue cannot be completely sucked out. The exhaust gases do not come out completely (intense smell of gas). In this case, shake the grating more frequently and increase the air for the combustion.

Picture 11 IMPORTANT: The cleaning of the glass must be carried out only and exclusively with cold appliance to avoid the glass breaking. Do not use abrasive or chemically aggressive products when cleaning the hearth glass. GLASS BREAKING: Considering that the glass is manufactured for temperatures up to 700 °C it should not be subjected to thermal shocks.
