Two in one: a combi stove brings the freedom of heating
RIKA combi stoves uniquely combine the advantages of convenient pellet operation with the tradition of classic heating with logs. The new stoves also impress with an even quieter operation and an even more beautiful flame pattern that bathes every room in an atmosphere of cosiness.
Being able to heat in two popular ways with one stove meets the spirit of the times and is sure to win over everyone who wants to remain independent as well as flexible. The hybrid heating system makes it possible to choose fuels according to availability and personal preferences. Logs create a traditional atmosphere and are regionally available, climate-neutral and cost-effective. In addition, wood offers the significant advantage of electricity-free heating and thus guarantees cosy warmth even in cases of energy shortages or power cuts. The fully automatic pellet operation also provides maximum comfort and continuous heat output. In pellet mode, all functions can be intuitively controlled with the touch display; remote access (optional with RIKA FIRENET) is also possible via any internet-capable terminal or even by voice (RIKA VOICE).
The modern PARO series fulfils all wishes
The successful PARO hybrid model shines in a renewed generation. The elegant design, the fast ignition and the DAR system, now integrated as standard, which enables even quieter operation and a more beautiful flame picture, make PARO the epitome of modern stove aesthetics and innovative functionality. In this PARO series, RIKA MULTIAIR technology is available as an option, which can be retrofitted at any time thanks to fixed connections. With RIKA MULTIAIR, up to three rooms can be heated simultaneously. RIKA MULTIAIR is low-noise and can therefore be installed in any living area without restrictions.
“With the new generation of PARO combi stoves, we have taken a significant step that raises the bar for quality and performance to a new level.”
Karl Philipp Riener, RIKA CEO
“RIKA combi stoves combine tradition with modernity and score with versatility, independence as well as long-term energy efficiency.”

Sustainable heat and minimal consumption
At a time when environmental awareness, availability of fuel, costs and energy efficiency are becoming increasingly important, the combi stove (also known as hybrid stove) is proving to be the right answer to sustainable space heating. RIKA’s heating technology promises low emissions and economical energy and fuel consumption.
How a combi stove works
Technical sophistication enables easy operation and maximum benefit. It is not necessary to switch or convert the stove to switch between log and pellet operation. The hybrid stoves have fully automatic fuel recognition: if the log fire goes out, the stove automatically switches to pellets. The control of the combustion air volume in combi stoves is always automatic and independent of the type of fuel used.

New in the range: ADUO
The new ADUO combination stove is impressive across the board: it not only combines logs and pellets, but also all the RIKA innovations listed above in a particularly elegant design. This makes it the perfect counterpart to the PARO and offers RIKA customers even more choice.
Design with panache
ADUO has the classic, functional look that RIKA is committed to. The curved front finish at the top creates a soft transition and gives the stove a pleasing character. The side panelling in either black steel or natural stone emphasises its elegant appearance.
Advantages of ADUO at a glance:
- Heating independent of room air
- Minimal maintenance
- Quiet operation
- Energy efficiency class A+
- Fully automatic, dynamic supply air regulation
- Signalled optimum replenishment time (RIKATRONIC3)
- Environmentally friendly
- Low fuel consumption
- Convenient control via touch display, internet and voice (RIKA FIRENET & RIKA VOICE)
- Co-heating of up to two additional rooms (RIKA MULTIAIR)
- Option of setting a specific living room temperature
- Elegant design with different side panells
- Variable flue pipe connections (top, rear)
- Large pellet hopper (47 litres or ~30 kg)
- High efficiency (87 % wood, 90 % pellets)
Expert tip
RIKA product trainer Jürgen Steinmayr on combi stoves
The demand for combi stoves is gradually increasing and is becoming an ever more important segment in our range of stoves. Customers are increasingly looking for a flexible and convenient heating solution. With the RIKA combi stove, they appreciate the convenience of modern, fully automatic pellet operation and the option of using RIKATRONIC3 to electronically control combustion even when heating with logs. Furthermore, a RIKA combi stove offers the alternative of heating without electricity – particularly useful in the event of a blackout. Depending on requirements and availability, you can choose between fuels, which creates even more independence.
The convenience of pellet operation ranges from controlling the room temperature using time programming, similar to a central heating system, to online control (RIKA FIRENET), for example via smartphone, to voice control with the free RIKA VOICE skill. Heating with pellets is extremely efficient, especially if the stove is equipped with RIKA MULTIAIR and can therefore heat several rooms (with excess heat). Automatic fuel detection enables you to switch automatically between log and pellet mode. In the latter, the fuel supply is regulated according to the set heat output or room temperature. The self-cleaning cycles further increase convenience and the stove can be operated continuously over a longer period of time.
As a classic Swedish wood-burning stove, a combi stove can be heated with or without electricity. Without electricity, the supply air is regulated manually. The electronic regulation includes that of combustion and combustion air. The eco function also allows you to save wood and reduce the heat output by half – as with pellet operation. The optimum refuelling time is also signalled and helps to keep fuel consumption as low as possible. Regular heating with logs and the associated higher combustion chamber temperatures ensure that the combi stove operates perfectly in the long term.
The following heating modes are possible with the combi stove:
- Fully automatic pellet operation
- Start with pellets and then switch to log operation
- Start with logs by manual ignition; later switch to pellet mode (preselection on the touch display)
- Start with logs by placing logs in the combustion chamber, which are then ignited with pellets. This means that after the pellet ignition, the stove goes into log burning mode. It is also possible to switch to pellet operation at a later time.
- Purely manual log operation without electricity
In short, by combining different heating methods, the combi stove is a sustainable, environmentally friendly and efficient way to heat your home flexibly and conveniently at the same time. With a dual heating system, you are making a versatile, forward-looking decision!
