  • Rear: 400 mm
  • Sides (Left and Right): 400 mm
  • Front: 800 mm
  • Ceiling: 600 mm
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the room where the stove is installed to prevent the buildup of carbon monoxide.
• Chimney: The stove must be connected to a suitable, properly installed, and regularly maintained chimney system. The flue diameter required is 130 mm.
• Professional Installation: Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with all local and national building codes and regulations.
• Hot Surfaces: The exterior surfaces of the stove become extremely hot during operation. Use appropriate protective gloves when operating the stove and keep children and pets away.

3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is critical for the safe and efficient operation of your wood stove. It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by a certified professional.

3.1 Site Selection

• The stove is designed for central placement within a room.
• Ensure the floor beneath the stove is capable of supporting its weight (99 kg) and any additional load from fuel. If necessary, install a non-combustible floor protector that extends beyond the stove's footprint according to local regulations and the specified clearances.
• Adhere strictly to the minimum clearances to combustible materials as outlined in Section 2.

3.2 Chimney Connection

• Connect the stove to a dedicated chimney flue with a diameter of 130 mm.
• Ensure all flue pipe connections are sealed properly to prevent smoke leakage.
• The chimney system must be clean, in good repair, and provide adequate draft (minimum 11 Pa).

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Initial Firing (Curing)

The first few fires should be small and moderate to allow the paint and materials to cure. During this process, some smoke and odor may be emitted, so ensure good ventilation. Avoid high temperatures during the first 2-3 uses.

4.2 Loading Fuel

• Open the combustion chamber door carefully.
• Place dry wood or briquettes onto the cast iron grate. Do not overfill the combustion chamber.
• Close the door securely after loading.

4.3 Air Supply Control

• The front flap located below the combustion chamber controls the primary air supply, which is essential for ignition and maintaining a strong fire. Open it fully for starting a fire and adjust as needed.
• The smoke damper (flue damper) allows for adjustment of the flame intensity and heat output. Opening it increases draft and burning rate, while closing it reduces them. Use this to fine-tune your fire.

4.4 Using the Oven

• The integrated oven is located above the combustion chamber.
• Monitor the oven temperature using the built-in thermometer.
• Adjust the fire's intensity using the air supply controls to achieve the desired oven temperature.
• The oven door features tempered glass, allowing you to view your food without opening the door.

4.5 Ash Removal

Regularly remove ashes from the ash pan located below the grate. Do not allow ashes to build up and touch the bottom of the grate, as this can restrict airflow and damage the grate.

5. Maintenance

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

• Ash Pan Cleaning: Empty the ash pan regularly, ideally before each use or when it is full. Ensure ashes are completely cool before disposal.
• Glass Cleaning: Clean the ceramic glass of the combustion chamber and the tempered glass of the oven with a specialized glass cleaner for wood stoves when the stove is cold.
• Chimney Cleaning: Have your chimney inspected and cleaned by a certified chimney sweep at least once a year, or more frequently depending on usage, to prevent creosote buildup and reduce the risk of chimney fires.
• Firebrick Inspection: Periodically inspect the firebricks lining the combustion chamber for cracks or damage. Replace any severely damaged bricks to maintain efficiency and protect the stove body.
• Door Seals: Check the door seals for wear and tear. Worn seals can lead to air leaks, reducing efficiency. Replace them as needed.
• Wood Storage: The stove features an integrated compartment to store and dry wood, ensuring it is ready for use.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your wood stove, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Poor Draft / Smoke Backing Up:
  • Check if the chimney is blocked by creosote or debris.
  • Ensure the smoke damper is open.
  • Verify that there is adequate air supply to the room.
  • Ensure the fuel is dry and properly seasoned.
• Low Heat Output:
  • Confirm the fuel is dry and of good quality.
  • Check if the air supply (front flap) is sufficiently open.
  • Ensure the chimney is clean and providing good draft.
  • Inspect door seals for leaks.
• Excessive Smoke:
  • This often indicates wet fuel. Use only dry wood.
  • Ensure sufficient primary air is entering the combustion chamber.
  • Check for chimney blockages.

If problems persist, contact a qualified technician or the retailer for assistance.
