Combustion air
Being the user of the stove you must take care of a sufficient
combustion air supply. Sealed-up windows and doors may not
allow a sufficient combustion air supply or disturb the draught
behaviour of your stove. Please ensure the additional supply of
fresh combustion air if necessary. For details please consult
your specialist retailer. Make sure that the combustion air
intakes are not blocked!
Stove pipe connection
For your own safety stringent laws apply for connecting
the stove pipes to the chimney. Your professional dealer
or distributor knows these laws. Please have your certified
retailer carry out the connection of your stove
.
3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
Approved fuels
Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood preferred), wood
briquettes.
Maximum amount of fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,3 kg wood. Larger
amounts of fuel can lead to overheating and thus damage the
stove.
Clean burning
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture < 15%) and
untreated and the right amount of wood must be burned in
order to ensure a clean fire that releases only small amounts of
emissions.
Startup procedures
During the first 3-4 operations - at nominal heat output - there
may be some odour development and the varnish has not yet
hardened.
Making a fire
For the correct and safe operation of your stove please pay
attention of the chimney developing the necessary feed
pressure. This must especially be considered before the initial
operation (or e.g. after the summer heating break) and during
the mid-season heating periods (e.g. at strong wind, etc.).
If there is not enough feed pressure, please light only some
paper or small kindling first, in order to “warm up” the stove
and the chimney.
The air inlet must not be covered or closed.
Clean grate, empty ash drawer if necessary (watch out for
ambers!)!
Position the lever for the combustion air to the open (“AUF”)
position (see fig. 3).
Place 2-3 logs (approx. 1,0 kg in total) crossways in the
combustion chamber with sufficient distance from each other
(min. 2 cm), on top of that place some softwood chippings (0,3
kg) and some ignition aid and light.
Close the door!
We recommend to let the first load burn down without changing
the air lever position.
.
Fig. 3: before lighting
As soon as no visible flames are left (only embers in the
combustion chamber), you can put another load of logs
(max. 1,3 kg) in the combustion chamber if desired.
When reloading the stove please repeat the procedure as
mentioned under “first lighting”: air lever position on “AUF”
(= open), open door carefully, place logs, close door.
Fig. 4: adjust air lever
After a few minutes, when the logs burn well on all sides
(bright, high flames), you can adjust the heat output with
the air lever (lever on open position “AUF” = maximum
heat output), the flames should be yellow and never look
blueish or have black tips (otherwise add more air) – see
fig. 4. Never close air supply completely during operation.
(danger of flash-fire!)
The stove door may be opened only for refuelling or
disposing of ashes and is to be closed again afterwards.
