INSTALLATION

TAKING DELIVERY OF THE STOVE

Please check carefully that the stove is in perfect condition. Make sure that it has not been

damaged in transit. Pay particular attention to the glass door and the ﬁreclay bricks inside.

Should you discover any damage, please inform your supplier at once. Do not light a ﬁre

in the stove.

Damage sustained by the glass door and the ﬁreclay bricks after the stove has been

used is almost always caused by overheating or incorrect operation. In such cases, the

manufacturer‘s guarantee will not apply and we will not be liable for any damage.

CORRECT LOCATION

n When choosing the location for your stove, make sure that it can be connected easily to

the chimney in your house. Before installing the stove make sure you are aware of all the

applicable national and local building regulations.

n DROOFF stoves are normally delivered with an interchangeable connecting sleeve which

makes it possible to ﬁt the stovepipe both from the rear and from above (see data sheet

"Technical Information"). As a rule, your stove will be prepared for connection from the

top. However, if you prefer a different connection, replace the connecting sleeve with the

sealing lid. It is extremely important that the opening which is not in use is ﬁrmly sealed

with the lid.

n The ﬂoor under the stove must be ﬂat and level. Before installing the stove, make sure that

the ﬂoor is able to bear the weight.

n The ﬂoor under the stove must be resistant to heat and non-combustible (e.g. tiles or

special ﬂoor plate). This non-combustible area must extend at least 50 cm in front of the

stove and at least 30 cm to the side, measured from the front of the door.

n The stove and the connecting pipe must be at a certain distance from combustible

materials at the back and at the sides. They must also have a certain clearance from steel-

reinforced concrete walls. For the necessary safety clearances for your stove, please refer

to the data sheet "Technical Information" or the plate attached to the back of the stove. For

the necessary safety clearances for the connecting pipe, please refer to the data supplied

by the pipe manufacturer.

n Always ensure that no combustible objects or objects sensitive to heat are placed close

to the glass door. See data sheet "Technical Information" for adequate clearances.

CHIMNEY

The stove functions by a simple principle of physics i.e. that hot gas rises. This means that the

smoke and hot gas produced by the ﬁre rise up through the chimney while fresh air for com-

bustion is sucked into the ﬁre chamber from the room or from outside (with stoves ﬁtted with

an outside air inlet). The upward draught from the chimney is therefore the "motor" of the stove.

This draught is affected by a number of factors such as the cross section (wideness) of the

chimney, its height and its insulation as well as the temperature outside the house.

Every stove has its own characteristics. Deﬂection (i.e. changes in direction) of the smoke gas

improve the efﬁciency of the stove but also creates resistance. The temperature and quantity of

smoke gas produced differs from one stove type to another. Every stove therefore makes its own

demands on the chimney. It may well happen that a good stove and a functioning chimney are

incompatible and have to be adapted to one another. Always ask your stove dealer or a heating

engineer if your chimney is suitable for your stove.

n Connection to chimney

The planned connection of a stove to a chimney must be approved according to national and

local building regulations and carried out by a qualiﬁed engineer. The connection must also be

ofﬁcially tested before the stove is put into operation.

DROOFF stoves are all designed according to type 1 with a self closing door to the ﬁre chamber.

They can be connected without difﬁculty to a suitable chimney which is already in use.

The components required for connecting the stove to the chimney are not supplied with the

stove. These components can be obtained from your dealer. For the correct diameter for the

connecting sleeve of a DROOFF stove please refer to the attached data sheet "Technical

Information". Smoke pipes complying with the standard EN 1856-2 are suitable for use with

the stove. Always ensure that the smoke pipe is installed at the correct safe distance from

combustible substances and materials.

Wood burning stoves are technically complex devices. They function efﬁciently and safely only

when installed and connected to a suitable chimney in accordance with all technical rules and

regulations.

You are therefore advised to have your stove installed and connected to the chimney

by a qualiﬁed engineer.

INSTALLATION

n Important notes for connecting the stove:

n The measurement of the chimney must comply with EN 13384, parts 1 and 2.

n Comply with the standard DIN 18160.

n For the minimum suction pressure, see data sheet "Technical Information". The maximum

suction pressure is 20 Pa. For pressures higher than 20 Pa, pressure restriction is required.

n All smoke pipe connections must be absolutely free of leaks.

n The smoke pipe must not project into the chimney.

n Connections for other smoke outlets (ﬁreplaces etc.) must not be at the same level or lie

opposite one another in the chimney. The minimum distance is 40 cm.

n When the smoke pipe is connected to the top of the stove its height must not exceed

150 cm. Always observe the correct safe distance from ceilings, ceiling panelling etc.

For the correct dimensions and data for connecting the stove to the chimney, refer to the

data sheet "Technical Information".

SAFETY

n Read these instructions through carefully to ﬁnd out how to operate the stove safely.

n For the set up, connection and operation of the stove, always observe all applicable national

and European standards as well as all applicable local regulations. If in doubt, consult

your dealer or a qualiﬁed heating engineer.

n Check again to ensure that the stove has been correctly connected to the chimney.

n When the ﬁre is burning, the outer surface of the stove becomes very hot. Keep children

and animals under supervision.

n When the ﬁre is burning, make sure that there are no combustible materials or substances

near the stove or on the stove.

n Keep the door to the ﬁre chamber closed at all times, even when the ﬁre is not burning.

(Exception: when heating the stove for the ﬁrst time).

n Do not overheat the stove by using too much fuel as this may damage the stove or the

chimney and entail loss of guarantee rights.

n Never use petrol, parafﬁn, methylated spirit or other dangerous substances to light the ﬁre.

n Do not place objects made of combustible material in area affected by radiant heat from

the stove, i.e. within a radius of about 85 cm of the glass door.

n Make sure that the ash box is never completely full as this prevents sufﬁcient air from

reaching the ﬁre and may cause the bottom grate to overheat and warp.

(continued on page 7)

Please read the following before lighting the ﬁre!

n Make sure that enough fresh air can ﬂow into the stove. Remember that your stove

needs about 4 m3 of air to burn 1 kg. of wood!

n If a kitchen fume extractor is being used in the same or in a neighbouring room, this may

reduce the air pressure around the stove and cause smoke gases to leak out into the room.

It is recommended to install a window contact switch for the fume extractor. Consult your

heating engineer on this subject.

n Do not remove the ash when it is hot. Store the ash in non-combustible containers only.

Do not place such containers on combustible or heat sensitive surfaces.

n For the correct distances between the stove and combustible or valuable objects, refer to

the data sheet "Technical Information" or the plate mounted on the stove.

SUITABLE FUELS

For information on the fuels approved for use in your DROOFF stove, refer to the data sheet

"Technical Information" or the plate mounted on the stove.

Wood — our fuel

There are many reasons why wood is an important raw material and source of energy. It is a

renewable material which grows "at our own front door". Our forests are cultivated sustainably,

i.e. the same amount of wood matures at any given time as is harvested or burned. Whether

the wood is burned or lies on the ground and rots, it emits only the same amount of CO2 as

the tree has absorbed during its life. Wood is also cheaper than oil or natural gas. A wood-

ﬁred stove is therefore the most effective way of keeping heating costs down.

n Logs

Use only dry wood! Logs have to be stored in the open air for a period of 1.5- 2.5 years to

achieve a residual moisture content of between 15% and 20% which is most suitable for burning.

To measure the residual moisture content of wood, use a standard moisture measuring instru-

ment which you can purchase from your dealer. The caloriﬁc value of wood depends to a great

extent on its quality and moisture content. The more water it contains, the more heat is

required for its evaporation during combustion. That means that the damper the wood is, the

lower its caloriﬁc value.

Freshly cut wood contains a lot of moisture and therefore burns badly. The heat it gives off

(i.e. its caloriﬁc value) is low and it pollutes the atmosphere. In addition, the high amounts of

conden sation and tar in the smoke gas lead to undesirable deposits in the stove and the

chimney and obscure the glass window more quickly.

The caloriﬁc value of wood differs from one type of wood to another. In relation to their weight,

the caloriﬁc value of soft woods such as spruce, pine or ﬁr is considerably higher than that of

harder woods such as birch, oak or beech. However, in relation to their volume, it is the harder

woods which have a higher caloriﬁc value.

DROOFF Kaminöfen — Feuer aus dem Sauerland

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Page 9

www.drooff-kaminofen.de

The caloriﬁc values of different wood types is shown in the following table:

Hard wood kWh per kg Soft wood kWh per kg

Birch 4.30 Spruce 4.50

Beech 4.00 Pine 4.40

Oak 4.20 Fir 4.50

Soft wood burns faster than hard wood and achieves higher temperatures. This is due mainly

to the high resin content. However, for heating purposes, the slower and more lasting develop-

ment of heat is generally desired. The suitability of a certain type of wood therefore depends on

the user‘s purpose. Harder woods burn more slowly and supply energy over longer periods of

time. This may be useful for overnight heating. On the other hand, the more rapid combustion

and faster energy emission of soft wood may be more suitable for heating cold rooms more

quickly.

n Preparation and storage

Wood needs time to dry. When stored correctly, wood has a residual moisture content of 19%

after between 1.5 and 2.5 years. It is then "air dry" or seasoned.

Useful tips:

n Saw and split the wood before stacking it. This helps it to dry more quickly.

n Stack your ﬁrewood in a sunny well ventilated place where it is sheltered from rain.

n Leave a gap between the stacks to allow the air to circulate and remove moisture.

n Do not cover the wood with plastic sheeting. This prevents moisture evaporating.

n Do not stack fresh wood in basement rooms. The low air circulation will cause it to rot

rather than dry.

n Keep some wood close to the stove to warm it up to room temperature.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

n Lignite briquettes

Standard shaped lignite or brown coal briquettes may also be used if this is stated in the

list of approved and tested fuels for your particular stove or are listed on the metal plate

mounted on the stove. You will heat your house without unnecessary air pollution only if you

use the approved fuels mentioned in this booklet. You can also further reduce emissions by

stoking your stove with the quantities stated in the data sheet "Technical Information".

Burning the following types of fuel in your stove is prohibited by law:

n Damp wood and wood treated with preservatives

n Painted wood and wood coated with synthetic material

n Wood chippings

n Bark and chipboard waste

n Coal dross

n Waste

n Paper and cardboard (except for lighting)

Remember: a wood burning stove is not a rubbish incinerator! The burning of rubbish

and waste is prohibited. This pollutes the environment and damages your stove. Use

only well seasoned suitable types of wood and (if stated explicitly) lignite briquettes.

FUEL QUANTITIES

To avoid unnecessary air pollution, stoke your stove only with the quantity of fuel you actually

need for your heating requirements.

To achieve the rated heating capacity of your stove you need only 2-3 logs or 3-4 lignite

briquettes. For more detailed information refer to the data sheet "Technical Information".

Depending on the weather, chimney draught, wood quality and the position of the adjusting

slide on the stove, one stoking of wood will burn down to a red glow in about 30-45 minutes.
