3. Unpacking and Installation (Setup)
3.1 Unpacking
Carefully remove the stove from its packaging. Inspect the appliance for any signs of damage during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately. Retain packaging materials for potential future transport.
3.2 Placement
The stove must be placed on a non-combustible floor protector if the floor beneath is combustible. Ensure the floor can support the weight of the stove (106.02 kg). Maintain adequate distances from walls and furniture as per local regulations.
3.3 Chimney Connection
Connect the stove to a suitable and properly sized chimney flue. The chimney must be clean, in good condition, and free from obstructions. All connections must be sealed to prevent smoke leakage.

4. Operation
4.1 First Fire
During the first few fires, burn small fires to allow the paint to cure. You may notice an odor and some smoke, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation during this period. Avoid overheating the stove during the initial curing phase.
4.2 Loading Wood
Open the air controls fully before opening the stove door to prevent smoke spillage. Place dry, seasoned wood logs (up to 34 cm in length) onto the grate. Do not overfill the combustion chamber.
4.3 Air Controls
- Primary Air: Used for ignition and rapid combustion. Keep fully open during startup.
- Secondary Air: This adjustable air intake protects the glass from smoke and soot deposits and ensures the combustion of volatile materials. Adjust it to optimize combustion and maintain a clean glass.
4.4 Extended Combustion (8 Hours)
The stove is capable of slow combustion for up to 8 hours without refueling. To achieve this, load the stove with dense wood, allow it to burn vigorously for a short period, then significantly reduce both primary and secondary air intakes. A bed of embers will remain, allowing for easy rekindling by simply adding more wood and opening the air controls.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Ash Removal
Regularly remove ash from the ash pan. Do not allow ash to accumulate to the point where it touches the bottom of the grate, as this can restrict airflow and damage the grate. Ensure the stove is cool before removing ash.
5.2 Glass Cleaning (Clean Glass System)
The Invicta Remilly features a clean glass system that helps reduce soot buildup. If the glass becomes dirty, clean it when the stove is cold using a specialized stove glass cleaner or a damp cloth dipped in ash. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
5.3 Chimney Sweeping
Have your chimney and flue pipe inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweep at least once a year, or more frequently if necessary, depending on usage. This prevents creosote accumulation and ensures safe operation.

| Low heat output | Wet wood, insufficient air supply, stove too small for space, chimney issues. | Use dry wood, open air controls, ensure chimney is clean and drawing properly. |
| Glass gets dirty quickly | Burning wet wood, insufficient secondary air, low burning temperature. | Ensure wood is dry, adjust secondary air to create an air wash, burn hotter fires. |
| Excessive burning / Overheating | Air controls open too much, faulty seals, excessive draft. | Close air controls, check door and glass seals, consult installer for draft issues. |
