Installation
The Ember A1-80 must be installed according to the product manual, applicable Swedish regulations, and in consultation with a qualified professional/chimney sweep. The floor must be able to support the stove's weight and withstand the heat. According to the manual, the flue connection can be positioned at the rear, side, or top, and the model with a right or left flue outlet is selected accordingly. Safety clearances must always be determined based on the installation conditions and site-specific circumstances.
Ventilation and combustion air
The stove regulates combustion using primary and secondary air and can draw fresh air from outside. A kitchen extractor fan or other exhaust ventilation may create negative pressure and interfere with the chimney draft; therefore, the manual states that a separate supply air connection may need to be connected directly to the stove. The recommended chimney draft is 12 Pa.
Cooking and oven
The A1-80 is designed for cooking, baking, and space heating. The flue gas flow can be controlled between settings for more heat around the oven or more heat towards the cooktop. The oven has a built-in thermostat that protects against overheating at approximately 280 °C. Use the controls according to the manual and allow the stove to reach operating temperature gradually.
First firing
Check that the controls and moving parts are functioning correctly and start with a moderate fire. The surface treatment, seals, and other materials may emit odors during the first few firings; ventilate the room until this has subsided.
Fuel and firing
Use dry, untreated wood. At nominal output, the manual states a fuel consumption of 1.44 kg/h. Keep the firebox door closed during normal operation, avoid overfiring, and follow the manual's instructions for refilling and air regulation.
Steel plate and glass door
Allow the steel plate to cool and keep it clean and dry according to the manual's care instructions. Clean the glass door with a suitable glass cleaner without using abrasive tools.
Care and safety
Allow the stove, ashes, and all surfaces to cool completely before cleaning. Empty the ash compartment and regularly clean the firebox, flue passages, and oven. Check the seals and flue connection, and soot the chimney at the required intervals. Do not use the stove if there is visible damage or an abnormal malfunction.
