3. Installation

3.1. Conditions

3.1.1. Ventilation

In the combustion process sto es absorb air from the surroundings. To allow a correct natural draught

and users comfort make sure that sufficient amount of air is a ailable in the room where installation is

considered.

Especially in highly insulated rooms make sure that the amount of air is sufficient for correct combustion

and that the room remains properly entilated.

In rooms equipped with mechanical entilation an outside air intake (around 50 cm2) has to be installed in

the chimney.

Before installation the chimney´s condition has to be erified. The chimney has to be clean and inspected

for leaks and sufficient draught. Make sure that the flue is not shared with any other appliance.

3.1.2. Localization

Cast iron sto es emit heat by radiation of cast iron parts. To pro ide an optimal heat distribution a central

location is recommended. Due to high temperature of the cast iron make sure that the appliance is

protected from children.

3.1.3. Walls and floors

Before installation make sure that floors and walls are not combustible or co ered with combustible

materials (i.e. tapestry, carpets, panels, plastic surfaces).

INSTRUCTION MANUAL – Cast iron stove PORTO

A correct sto e location requires, depending on a model, from 150 to 220mm gap at each side of the

appliance.

Especially in case of old buildings make sure that the floor has a sufficient load bearing capacity. In some

cases, enforcement of the structure can be necessary.

The surface where the sto e will be installed should be e en and flat. In case of floors and walls made of

combusti e materials additional protection such as marble, tin or granite panel will be required.

The safety measures ha e to be applied as well in direct surrounding of exhaustion canals.

3.1.4. Uneven surfaces

To mitigate troubles with installation in rooms with une en floors it is possible to regulate a le el of e ery

leg separately (in models Porto, Almeida, Madeira, Morena).

3.2. Exhaustion - chimney

For effecti e exhaustion it is essential to follow the guidelines:

• Positioning of the pipes should be maximally ertical to maximize effecti eness of exhaust system.

• A oid 90º angels if a bypass is required. In that case we recommend a bypass with 45º angles.

• If the flue pipe transport smoke directly outside of the chimney, it should protrude 40 cm abo e the

chimney le el.

4. Usage

4.1. Fuel

Use a recommended fuel to ensure optimal sto e efficiency. Actual heat output can differ significantly

depending on wood type, its hardness and moisture.

4.1.1. Recommendations

We highly recommend hard wood logs of broad leaf trees (with moisture le el below 15-20%). Make

sure that the logs are cut accordingly to the burning chambers requirements. To obtain

recommended moisture le el wood should be stored in dry and well entilated place around one, two

years. Recommended wood: oak, hornbeam, beech, ash wood, acacia.

4.1.2. Prohi ited fuel

It is prohibited to use:

• any form of coal, other minerals or solid mineral fuel

• exotic wood

• green wood or damp wood (with moisture le el abo e 20%). It significantly reduces efficiency and

can cause deposition of soot, tar etc. inside the burning chamber and exhaust

• processed wood (laminated, impregnated etc.), chipboards, pallets, waste wood etc., that can block

installation, ha e negati e en ironmental effect and limit durability of the sto e (due to a high risk of

o erheating) and cause high fire hazard

• chemical liquids, such as: petrol alcohol, oil

• trashes

INSTRUCTION MANUAL – Cast iron stove PORTO

4.2. Exploitation

4.2.1. First usage - tips

During the first lightning, fire should be progressi ely increased and a high le el of air circulation has to

be ensured. At the first hours of operation the sto e can gi e off fumes of a new paint and chemical

substances from the burning chamber.

During the first usage do not put a full load of logs and do not lea e the sto e unsuper ised.

4.2.2. Further exploitation

During the first phase of lightning make sure that air regulation is fully open. If any additional equipment

of the sto e (i.e. pipes) is equipped with additional flaps, make sure that they are fully open during the

lightning process.

To lit a fire use firelighters or some small dry pieces of a hard wood. Start a fire and push the door

slightly, but do not close them. When the fire becomes stable add logs to the burning chamber (for more

tips how to start a fire - see 4.2.3.). Close the door and adjust air regulation that the fire will reach the

le el according to your preferences.

4.2.3. How to start a fire

1. First make sure that you ha e all necessary items prepared and near at hand: a couple of logs of dry

wood, some small and medium dry wood pieces, firelighters or newspaper, matches.

2. To set a fire, use firelighters or some bunched paper to start the ignition.

3. Put pieces of small and dry wood o er the firelighters or paper. Only then place the standard logs into

the burning chamber.

There are two ways to build a fire - bottom up (bigger pieces of wood on the top) and top down (bigger

pieces of wood at the bottom). Note that the top down method generates less soot and ashes, better air

distribution and makes the first piece of wood last longer.

4. Before starting the fire, fully open all air flows in the sto e. Open the combustion chamber door and

light the fire you ha e built.

5. Lea e the door slightly open until the glass gets warm to a oid problems with condensation of water

on the glass.

6. When the fire becomes strong and stable, put on the big wood logs and close the door and all the air

entrances.

7. You can control the wood burning rate and heat output by adjusting the amount of air going into your

sto e. To adjust the fire le el to your preferences, use the airflow regulation of your sto e.

8. To refill the sto e open all air entrances fully, open the door and put logs inside. Then close the door

and adjust the air regulation.

5. Maintenance

5.1. Ashes removal

• Remo e ashes from the burning chamber regularly

• Make sure that ashes do not reach grate le el. Ash can block an air circulation and fire will be

suppressed. The lack of grate entilation can cause sto e damage.

• Remo e ashes only when the burning chamber is cooled down

INSTRUCTION MANUAL – Cast iron stove PORTO

5.2. Stove cleaning

• A sto e should be cleaned regularly

• Open the door and make sure that the appliance is cooled down. Take out all the remo able parts

from the burning chamber and clean the inside walls. Than clean all the parts remo ed from the

burning chamber.

• To clean the glass use products fit for the purpose. At the end rinse the surface with clean water and

dry the glass with a soft cloth

• Ceramic glass is a material highly resistant to high temperatures. In case of glass damage it must be

replaced by an authorized product that will ensure safety and optimal operation.

• All external surfaces can be cleaned with a softly damped cloth when the appliance is cooled down.

5.2.1. Seasonal maintenance

After each heating season a complete maintenance of the appliance is required. Proper maintenance

of the sto e impro es durability of the product and its long term effecti eness.

• At the end of each heating season all parts of the appliance ha e to be thoroughly cleaned

• Take out all remo able parts from the burning chamber. Scrub all cast iron parts of the sto e with

a wire brush to remo e residuals of burning process

• At the end of a season exhaust system should be cleaned by a qualified specialist

5.3. Exhaustion

Flues and chimneys ha e to be kept in an optimal condition to allow a correct smoke circulation. To

make sure that the system is well maintained and free of soot, tar and etc. contact with a qualified

specialist regularly.
