2 Safety notes

2.1 Proper use

2.1.1 Basic principles

Minitherm stove was built in accordance with safety regulations. However, its use can

result in the injury or death of the user and/or third part and in impairments to the

stove itself or to other material goods.

2.1.2 Using the stove

Use the stove only when it is in perfect condition. Use it properly, as described in this

manual. Stay aware of the safety and of the dangers involved. Have any faults which

can impair safety immediately fixed.

The stove was designed to burn wood pellet and wood. The manufacturer will accept

no responsibility for any damage resulting from improper use. Proper use includes

maintaining the installation, operation and maintenance specified by the

manufacturer. The user may only enter or change the operating values specified in

this manual. Any other entries will affect the stove's control program and operation,

which can lead to a malfunction.

2.1.3 Permissible fuel for the Minitherm - stoves

Only wood pellets and wood are permissible as fuel for the stove. Wood pellets are

pressed into a cylindrical shape. They consist of untreated sawdust from the wood

processing industry as well as unprocessed forestry waste. They have a standardized

diameter and length and very low air content.

2.1.4 Recommended wood pellets

Thermo FLUX d.o.o. recommends wood pellets with a diameter of 6 mm and a

length of 10 - 30 mm.

Other requirements on the fuel result from either standard O-Norm M 7135,

DIN plus 51731,

UNI CEN/TS 14961

Pay particular attention to the wood pellet quality.

2.3 Other risks of the side effects

Despite the precautions taken there are also certain risks of side effects:

DANGER OF CARBON MONOXIDE.

If the stove is running during cleaning time may occur

transmission of CO through the open door. Do not open the

door longer than necessary.

2.4 Duty to inform

Reading the manual

Everyone who works on the stove must have read the Use and maintenance manual

before starting work and, in particular, have read the second chapter „Safety notes“.

This holds especially true for persons who only occasionally work on the stove e.g.

when cleaning or maintaining the stove. This manual must be kept ready to hand at

the stove's installation location.

Pay particular attention to the applicable local standards and guidelines.

2.5 Safety devices

Stove is equiped with safety devices that in case of unexpected situations

stop the power supply and thereby stop the operation stove.

Stove electronic regulation: operates directly and stops the operation of the stove

until it cools down.

* In case of the suction fan failure, failure of the motor for auger (doser), black out

(if the blackout was longer than 10 seconds), an unsuccessful firing.

Fuse F 4 A 250V : Fast fuse , protects the stove from large voltage changes of

electricity and short circuits inside the stove.

Safety thermo switch (STB) : intervenes by breaking the circuit in the stove

(automatically stops motor of the auger and exhaust gasses fan) if the stove

temperature reaches the limit of 95 °C.

3Installation and commissioning of

the stove

Commissioning system in the operation is performed by personnel

authorized by ThermoFLUX Ltd or autorized seller.

Commissioning includes referral to operation with the basic operations and

maintenance of the stove. Authorized service for the first start, must control the

functioning of the stove at least during one full operating cycle.

Danger from material and body due to improper

commissioning. If the commisioning is performed by

unautorished personel, it may cause damage to the stove

and heating system.

3.1 Conditions

The following conditions must be fulfilled before the system is put into

operation.

Turn OFF electrical power.

Check mechanical connections

Check that all components are properly connected

Check that all mechanical components are connected.

Check whether combustion chamber properly seated

Check hidraulical connections

Check whether the circulation pump and the mixing valve is properly

connected.

Check whether the safety equipment properly connected.



3.2 Chimney and flue gas pipes

The chimney should be calculated and constructed in accordance with the EN

13384-1 standard.

The venting of flue gas must be done in accordance with all applicable laws

including those related to dimensions of the chimney and materials used for its

production. Flue gas channel should be made of adequate materials, such as steel

tubes, with various sealing.

ThermoFLUX

Minitherm -

In any case, materials that could potentially catch fire, e.g. wooden planks,

beams, cloth, should be adequately protected with non-combustible material. For

the sake of parity of dimensions, chimneys that are round in shape of the inner

part should have an advantage over the rectangular-shaped chimneys.

Too small inner zone can cause irregular flow from the stove to the top which

could lead to poor stove performance and excessive exhaust gas production that

discharges the exhaust gas to the environment. Gas flue pipe should be

permanently installed and it would be good to make safety door which would

enable the cleaning of inner parts, especially the horizontal parts.

Smoke pipe should be installed fixed. It would be good to leave safety gates that

could do the Minitherm -r cleaning, especially in their horizontal parts.

You should avoid as much as possible horizontal mounting parts. Horizontal parts

must have a slope of at least 3% upwards.

Length of the horizontal part should be minimal and in any case not more than 3

meters.

ALL PARTS OF THE FLUE GASN PIPE NEED TO BE SECURED AND REPLACEABLE

IN ORDER FOR INTERNAL CLEANING.

AVOID MULTIPLE HORIZONTAL DEVIATION AND ANGLES.

3.3 Minimum distances of the stove from wall

and objects

A –minimum distance front - 100 cm

B –minimum distance from side - 20 cm

C –minimum distance back side- 20 cm

D –minimum distance from side - 20 cm

ThermoFLUX leaves itself the right to later perform changes without notice.
