1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient installation, operation, and maintenance of your Prity AM W12 wood-burning stove with an integrated boiler for central heating. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the appliance and retain it for future reference. The Prity AM W12 is designed to provide both room heating and hot water for your central heating system.
2. Safety Instructions
Your safety and the safety of others are paramount. Always adhere to the following safety guidelines:
- Professional Installation: Installation must be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with all local and national building codes and regulations.
- Combustible Materials: Maintain minimum clearances from combustible materials. As per EN 13240:2001/A2:2004/AC:2007, the minimum distances are:
- Rear: 400 mm
- Sides (left and right): 400 mm
- Front (radiation from pane): 800 mm
- Ceiling: 600 mm
- Fuel Type: Only use dry wood with a moisture content of ≤20% or charcoal. Never use flammable liquids, plastics, or treated wood as fuel.
- Hot Surfaces: The stove's exterior surfaces become extremely hot during operation. Use appropriate protective gloves when handling and keep children and pets away.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation in the room where the stove is installed to prevent oxygen depletion.
- Chimney/Flue: Regularly inspect and clean the chimney and flue pipe to prevent creosote buildup and ensure proper draft.
- Carbon Monoxide: Install a carbon monoxide detector in the vicinity of the stove.
- Water System: The integrated boiler must be connected to a closed central heating system by a qualified plumber. Ensure the system is properly filled and vented. The maximum working pressure is 1.25 bar.
This product complies with EN standard, CE certification, BlmSchV2, and ECO design regulations.
3. Setup and Installation
The Prity AM W12 is designed for corner placement and built-in installation. Proper setup is crucial for safety and performance.
3.1 Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully unpack the stove and inspect it for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Placement
Position the stove in the desired corner, ensuring it meets the minimum clearance requirements from combustible materials as detailed in the Safety Instructions section.

3.3 Flue Pipe Connection
Connect the stove to a suitable chimney or flue system. The flue pipe diameter required is 150 mm. Ensure all connections are sealed properly to prevent smoke leakage and ensure optimal draft.
3.4 Central Heating System Connection
The integrated water boiler requires connection to your central heating system. This must be done by a certified plumber. The boiler has a volume of 7 liters and is designed to operate at a maximum working pressure of 1.25 bar. Ensure the system is properly filled, vented, and tested for leaks before initial firing.

4. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and efficient operation of your Prity AM W12 stove.
4.1 Fueling the Stove
Open the main combustion chamber door using the wooden handle. Place a small amount of kindling and firelighters on the cast iron grate. Once ignited, gradually add small pieces of dry wood or charcoal. Do not overfill the combustion chamber.

4.2 Air Supply Control
The stove is equipped with a front damper for regulating the air supply to the combustion chamber. Open the damper fully during ignition to establish a strong fire. Once the fire is established, adjust the damper to control the burn rate and heat output. A fully open damper provides more air, leading to a hotter, faster burn. A partially closed damper reduces air, resulting in a slower, more efficient burn.
4.3 Flame Intensity Adjustment
A smoke damper is provided to adjust the flame intensity. This allows for fine-tuning of the combustion process and heat distribution.
4.4 Refueling
When adding more fuel, open the air damper fully for a few minutes before opening the combustion chamber door. This helps to prevent smoke from entering the room. Add fuel carefully and close the door securely.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your Prity AM W12 stove.
5.1 Ash Removal
Regularly remove ash from the ash pan located below the combustion chamber. Ensure the stove is completely cool before performing this task. Dispose of ash in a non-combustible container.
5.2 Cleaning the Combustion Chamber
Periodically clean the interior of the combustion chamber, including the heat-resistant ceramic glass. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner for ash and a specialized glass cleaner for stove glass. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5.3 Flue Pipe and Chimney Cleaning
The flue pipe and chimney should be inspected and cleaned at least once a year, or more frequently depending on usage. This prevents creosote buildup, which can lead to chimney fires and reduced efficiency. This task should be performed by a qualified chimney sweep.
5.4 Boiler System Check
Regularly check the pressure in your central heating system and ensure it is within the recommended operating range. Inspect all connections for leaks. Consult a qualified plumber for any issues with the boiler system.
6. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Prity AM W12 stove. For complex problems, consult a qualified technician.
- Poor Draft / Smoke in Room:
- Check if the flue pipe or chimney is blocked and requires cleaning.
- Ensure the air dampers are open sufficiently.
- Verify that the chimney height and diameter are adequate for the stove.
- Check for negative pressure in the room (e.g., due to extractor fans).
- Low Heat Output:
- Ensure you are using dry, seasoned wood. Wet wood burns inefficiently.
- Check if the air dampers are open enough.
- Verify that the combustion chamber and ash pan are clean.
- Excessive Fuel Consumption:
- Adjust the air dampers to reduce the burn rate.
- Ensure the stove door seals are intact and not allowing excess air.
- Water System Not Heating:
- Check the central heating system pressure.
- Ensure the boiler is receiving sufficient heat from the combustion.
- Bleed the radiators and the boiler system to remove any airlocks.
- Consult a qualified plumber if the issue persists.
