Your Solea wood-burning stove at a
single glance
The Solea Elegance
The Solea is a combination of comfort and efficient heat
output. The stove has an outside cover and an interior
chamber. This ensures that the stove radiates 70% of the
heat output through convection to your room while the
remaining 30% heat is released through radiation via the
glass area.
The Solea has a preheated glass pane cleaning system
and an ingenious extra air circulation system which uses
flue gases for afterburning. High-quality cast iron and the
vermiculite internal lining ensure optimum heat yield.
Installation
It is common practice for the dealer where you purchased
your stove to also take care of installing it. If this is not
the case, please ensure that the installation is done by a
certified installer. A certified installer can also give you
the right advice about the flue tube to which the stove
must be connected. Connecting wood-burning stoves
by unqualified persons is prohibited, in which case we
cannot give any guarantee about proper functioning
of your stove. Please bear the fire safety in mind when
installing the stove. See also page 19.
The wood-burning stove is suitable as an extra heat
source and does not replace your principal heating
device.
It is not allowed to have wood-burning stoves connected
by unqualified installers. In such case we cannot give
any guarantee that the Solea will work properly.
Lighting your stove early in autumn or late in
winter
When the external and internal temperatures do
not differ much, a proper chimney draught is a real
challenge. You can help chimney draught get started
by burning some wood while keeping all air inlets
maximally open. An abundant air supply speeds up
quick heating which in turn increases the draught
in the chimney. Lighting up the stove with only a
little wood prevents smoke from streaming into the
room.
Lighting the stove
The stove will become very hot when you light it and
will need at least two hours to cool off. Don't touch the
stove without protection during firing and for two hours
after. Handle the stove always with a glove to avoid
getting serious burns.
