4. Setup and Installation

The Panadero Saphir Wood Stove is designed for freestanding installation. Proper installation is crucial for safety and performance. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional.

4.1 Site Selection

• Choose a non-combustible floor or install a suitable floor protector.
• Ensure adequate clearance from combustible walls and materials as per local building codes and manufacturer specifications.
• The location should allow for proper chimney connection and maintenance access.

4.2 Chimney and Flue Connection

• Connect the stove to a properly sized and installed chimney system.
• All connections must be sealed to prevent smoke leakage.
• Ensure the chimney is clean and free of obstructions before use.

4.3 Initial Firing

The first few fires should be small to allow the paint and materials to cure. During this process, some smoke and odor may be emitted, which is normal. Ensure good ventilation during initial use.

5. Operating Instructions

This section details how to safely and efficiently operate your wood stove.

5.1 Fuel Type

Only use dry, seasoned hardwood. Softwoods can be used for kindling but are not recommended as primary fuel due to faster burning and higher creosote production. Do not use treated wood, garbage, or any flammable liquids.

5.2 Starting a Fire

1. Open the air inlet control fully.
2. Place crumpled paper or natural firelighters on the grate.
3. Stack small pieces of kindling on top of the paper/firelighters.
4. Light the paper/firelighters.
5. Once the kindling is burning well, gradually add larger pieces of wood.
6. Close the door securely once the fire is established.

5.3 Adjusting Airflow and Heat Output

The air inlet control regulates the combustion rate and heat output. Opening the control increases airflow, leading to a hotter, faster burn. Closing it reduces airflow, resulting in a slower burn and lower heat output. The stove has a heat output of 71 Kilowatts and can heat an area of approximately 116.67 m².

5.4 Double Combustion System

Your Panadero Saphir stove features a double combustion system. This system re-burns uncombusted gases and particles, increasing efficiency and reducing emissions. This process is most effective when the stove is operating at optimal temperatures.

5.5 Clean Glass System

The integrated clean glass system uses a curtain of air to keep the inner surface of the glass clean, providing an unobstructed view of the flames. For optimal performance of this system, ensure the stove is burning efficiently with dry wood.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your wood stove.

6.1 Ash Removal

• Remove ash regularly from the ash drawer (Component 5 in Image 3.1) when the stove is cold.
• Do not allow ash to build up to the level of the grate, as this can impede airflow and damage the grate.
• Dispose of ash in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid, away from combustible materials.

6.2 Glass Cleaning

• Even with the clean glass system, some residue may accumulate over time.
• Clean the glass only when the stove is completely cold.
• Use a specialized wood stove glass cleaner or a damp cloth dipped in fine wood ash.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the glass.

6.3 Chimney and Flue Cleaning

The chimney and flue pipes should be inspected monthly during the heating season and cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently if creosote buildup is observed. Creosote is a highly flammable substance that can cause chimney fires.

6.4 General Inspection

Periodically check the door seals, hinges, and other components for wear and tear. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
