WARNING BEFORE USE
In order to put cooker Thermo Magnum in proper operation mode, it is important to
read this instructions and strictly observe instructions for use and manual.
For combustion, use solid fuels like wood and briquettes. For maximal performance
of the cooker, use dry wood (max. humidity 20%).
It is forbidden to put explosive devices and materials into the burner or onto the
cooker hotplate.
It is forbidden to keep inflammable materials within the close vicinity of the cooker.
For proper combustion, within the normal operational mode, draught in the chimney
should be 15-17 Pa. In case if draught is higher then 20Pa, it is necessary to install
chimney flap.
Room in which cooker is located should be regularly ventilated due to flow of fresh
air necessary for combustion.
Parts of the cooker are heated within period of operation and appropriate handling
precaution is necessary. Do not allow children to handle and play in the vicinity of the
cooker.
Do not allow handling with the cooker to the persons with limited physical and
psychical abilities.
Do not allow pets to be close to the device.
Only spare parts approved by the manufacturer may be installed onto the cooker.
One may not make any changes to the furnace.
Upon the first heating, smoke and various scents may occur, especially on the
surfaces protected with the color and other anti-corrosive primers. Ventilate the
room.
Thermal regulator is integral part of the cooker and set-up at the factory. Do not
make any adjustments of thermal regulator by yourself.
When adding fuel, open fire door for only few degrees, wait 4-5 seconds until
pressure in the burner and room comes equal, then open it wide very slowly. Do not
open the door abruptly, so when flame is strong in the burner it may come out of the
burner. Do not open fire door unnecessarily, always paying attention to open it when
flame is weak.
In case of non-observance of these instructions for use, manufacturer will not
be liable for any damage on cooker.

Solid fuel cooker for central heating is intended for heating of residential premises.
Valve for thermal exhaustion is integral part of installation which serves as
overheating valve. Thermal valve
Caleffi 544 1/2
is recommended and displayed on
Figure 2.
Comment:
Thermal valve is not part of the product and not supplied with it. Boiler
guarantee is valid exclusively with built-in thermal valve.
Figure 2
Solid fuel cooker for central heating Thermo Magnum possesses boiler of 11l
capacity which is made of boiler metal sheets of standardized dimensions. Such
manufacture improves boiler life span. Water adapters are 1“.
Fire door (fig. 1, pos. 2) is cast and has thermal-resistant transparent glass. Ashtray
door (fig., 1, pos. 5) is cast and has auxiliary air flow regulator.
Oven door is cast and has thermal-resistant glass with temperature gauge. Area
below oven is intended for mechanism which serves for primary manual regulation
and it is not intended for opening (handle is decorative element, it does not serve for
door opening below the oven)
INSTALLATION OF COOKER
Cooker
may not
be placed in the close vicinity of wooden elements, air-condition
devices or plastic parts of the furniture, because it transmits (during combustion)
high working temperature which distributes at the external surface of the cooker.
Minimal distance between cooker and surrounding elements is 50 cm, and from
inflammable materials is 140 cm.
If foundation on which cooker will be located is made of easily-inflammable
materials (wood, warm floor, laminate...) it is necessary to install special protection
larger then the base of the cooker. - for lateral width of 10 cm or more, in front of 50
cm or more.
Cooker is to be connected with the chimney by appropriate smoke pipes through
adapter on the upper side of the cast plate, in order to provide adequate tightness
and smoke flow from the cooker to the chimney. Fume outlet may not be installed
too deep into the chimney in order not to reduce surface of cross-section thus
preventing draught in the chimney.
Prior to installation of cooker, check chimney draught since it is one of key factors
for proper operation. Draught depends on integrity of the chimney and
meteorological conditions.
One of the simplest ways for checking of draught in chimney is by candle flame, as
described on figure 3. Candle flame is to be put close to adaptor opening of chimney
and if it flickers toward opening, draught is satisfactory (figure 3.2). Weak flickering of
the flame is indicator of weak draught (figure 3.1).
Fig 3.1 Fig 3.2
If draught in chimney is weak (Figure 3.1), check correctness of the chimney.
Chimney should be located in the interior of the room, and id it is on external walls of
the room, chimney insulation is highly recommended.
Faults of the chimney may be (figure 4.1):
1. Weak windshield,
2. Strange body or bulges in the chimney,
3. Chimney chaps,
4. Accumulated tar,
5. Non-tightness of adapters and cleaning openings,
6. Smoke pipe installed too deep,
7. Fireplace without door or some other opening on chimney and non-tightness
of connecting and other cleaning openings.
8. Non-tightness of connecting and cleaning openings.
Distance between two adapters on the same chimney must be minimum 50 cm
(Figure 4.2).
On figure 4.2 example of proper chimney is described.
Devices which use gas as a fuel may not be connected to the very same
chimney.
Installation of cooker into the system for water heating
- For water inlet and outlet within the system of floor (central) heating are provided
with adapters on boiler 1".
- Thermo Magnum may be mounted on closed or open system of central heating.
Installation on closed central heating system
One of the aspects of mounting installations is depicted on figure 5.
- Safety valve must be installed in the vicinity of boiler and must be adjusted for
pressure of max. 3 bars. External guide of safety valve must be as shorter as
possible and may not have possibility to be closed. Within this guide, also, there may
not be single valve or any other armature.
- Closed expansion vessel is to be mounted in the vicinity of boiler and its safety
guide is short. Volume of this vessel is determined according to the capacity of boiler
and regarding ratio 1kW:1l.
- Installation of thermal valve in its provided place on the boiler is mandatory. We
recommend thermal valve Caleffi 544.

Installation of open central heating system
One of the aspects of installation is depicted on figure 6.
At this system, starting guides are to be mounted in sequence, safety distribution
guide of expansion vessel and boiler valve, and on starting guide of the system
boiler valve, pump and valve are to be installed. Directly below opened expansion
vessel, short connection should be installed between safety distribution guide and
safety retracting guide, which provides freezing of water during winter in the
expansion vessel.
On safety distribution and safety retracted guide, there may not be any armature.
Expansion vessel itself must possess overflow pipe as seen on scheme on figure 6.
Volume of expansion vessel is determined by the pattern:
V = 0,07x V water, (l), where Vwater is volume of water in entire power plant.
Open expansion vessel is to be installed vertically above the highest heating body.
At the opened system of heating, gravitation system of heating is possible.
Note:
Installing and putting into operation of entire system is to be checked exclusively by
trained person who guarantee proper operation of entire heating system. In case of
poorly designed system and eventual omissions in installation by that person,
complete material responsibility shall bear exclusively the person entrusted for the
installation of the heating system, not the manufacturer, representative or retailer of
the boiler.
Important
• Cooker installation should be carried out by skilled person according to the
appropriate design. Structure of cooker enables connection on closed or opened
heating system. All connections must be well sealed and tightened. Prior to putting
into operation, complete installation should be tested with water under pressure of 3
bar.
• Upon installation of safety valve, pay attention to direct connection with water
supply network and sewage, as well as on the fact that valves (taps) always must be
open.
• If reinforced hose for connection with drainage outlet is used, it must be away from
the back side of the cooker.
Upon first ignition,
it is necessary to test accuracy of the valves by short-time pre-
heating up to 100°C, to test accuracy of draught regulators and installation for
distribution of hot water to radiators, as well as radiators themselves.

MANAGING COOKER OPERATION
Pace of combustion, as well as quantity of heat transmitted by the cooker, depends
on the quantity of primary air for combustion which is brought into the area below
burner. Regulation of quantity of primary air is provided automatically using draught
regulator
Rathgeber
(figure 7).
Figure 7
Upon ignition, turn regulator button into position of maximally opened flap in
direction displayed on figure 8. During operation, depending on temperature,
regulator flap will open and close automatically. If lower temperature then adjusted is
desired, turn regulator button in desired position of minimally open flap, thus
regulator flap closes. Button is to be turned with auxiliary tool as follows: longer arm
of the tool is to be put into the groove of the button then turn, as desired.
Figure 8
By grate lifter (pic. 1, pos. 4) and turning using tool which is supplied with the cooker,
plate may be lifted and dropped down in desired position depending on selected
operation mode (winter or summer mode).
If there are disturbances in burning (bad fuel, remaining malfunctions for proper
operation of the cooker) then through auxiliary regulator, which is located on front
side of the ashtray door (figure 1 position 5), we can bring some additional primary
air, thus improving combustion. In that case, pay attention to temperature and
pressure not to exceed prescribed values.
PROCEDURES FOR IGNITION AND LIGHTING
Prior to the first ignition, clean all enameled surfaces of the cooker by dry mop in
order to avoid combustion of dirt on cooker and creation of undesirable scents.
Note:
Upon first ignition, there may be slight smoking, especially at colored surfaces. All
cast parts are protected with thermo-resistant color which obtains its stability after
few ignitions. Thereupon, there may be gases which could be removed by simple
ventilation of the room.
Ignition in the firebox is to be carried out as follows:
- open the fire door and ashtray door,
- put into the firebox material for enkindle (chopped wood, dry paper),
- carry out enkindling,
- close the fire door and ashtray door,
- upon creation of basic cinder, put into the firebox some massive pieces of wood
and close fire door. If briquettes are used, you must wait for all fuel quantity to burn,
then reduce air intake to half.
For ignition and lighting, you may not use light distillate oil, gas and similar, so then
conditions for origination of explosive gases may occur in smoke channels of the
cooker and chimney.
For lighting, we recommend wood and briquettes.
Do not use organic waste as fuel, food residues, plastic objects, inflammable and
explosive materials, whose combustion disturbs proper operation of the cooker and
may induce damages and pollution of environment.
Increased external temperatures may induce weak air flow (draught) in the
chimney, so it is recommended to frequently burn smaller quantities. We recommend
burning every 1h with height of the fuel in the firebox up to 15cm.
After each filling, it is recommended for firebox (cooker) to burn at least 30 minutes
with maximal power, in order to burn all volatile ingredients which are main reason of
creation of condensate in the cooker in that stage of combustion.
For proper work of firebox (cooker) it is necessary to:
- regularly clean firebox and chimney
- regularly ventilate rooms due to good combustion
- regularly remove ash from ashtray
Accumulated gravel and non-combusted materials should be regularly
removed from the burner, by cleaning set.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Through regular and proper cleaning, you enable proper operation and cooker life
span.
Cleaning of external surfaces
Enameled and chrome surfaces are to be cleaned with soft mop which will not
damage these surfaces. Cleaning agents of chemical origin do not damage surfaces
of the cooker and may be used.
Cleaning of internal surfaces
Upon cleaning of the cooker, use protective gloves. Clean internal walls of the
burner and remove accumulated tar, collect particles and non-combusted pieces
from the burner, clean ashtray and ash accumulated in the interior.
Glass cleaning
Upon combustion of fuel, glass surface may become dirty due to products of
combustion. Glass should be cleaned when it is cold, by soft detergents. Abrasive
agents damage glass thus do not us them.
Cleaning channels for flow of gas combustion products below oven
Open oven door (1), unscrew 6 screws (4) on the bottom of oven (3) and remove
closure of the bottom (2). By auxiliary tool, remove tar accumulated on the bottom
and below oven. After cleaning, put back the closure of the oven bottom into its
original position and put and tight screws back.
Area below plate must also be maintained clean. Remove plate from the cooker and
clean tar from boiler and ceiling of the oven.
