Xtra heat storing technology
The model Lounge Xtra has been equipped with the unique Xtra heat storing technology. This technology is based on
the patented Heat Memory System, but also on the special flue gas guidance and the convection air which can be
regulated or shut off completely. Consequently a fast heating system is being combined with an extraordinarily efficient
heat storing.
The convection air can be regulated according to demand with the attached lever (see picture). The more the
convection air outlets of the top plate are open, the faster heat but less heat storing can be reached. A closed top plate
will however lead to slow heat and longer heat storing.
Our hint: while the fire still burns let the convection air outlets open; close them after the fire has burnt down in order to
reach a steady heat emission.
Self-locking door mechanism
In order to ensure a correct self-locking door mechanism it is necessary, to let the door fall into the lock with an opening
angle of min. 30 °.
Operation with external air supply
The German institute for constructional engineering (DIBT) has given the Lounge/LoungeXtra the general technical approval
for operation with external air supply. If the combustion air is being supplied directly to the furnace by an air-tight pipe including
closing mechanism from the outside, then the stove may be used in residential property with mechanical ventilation.
If the stove in being used like that, a multiple stove installation on the same chimney is forbidden.
This stove has been approved by the German DIBT .
problem possible reason solution
door glass gets sooty too fast
generally: door glasses must be cleaned with Austroflamm
glass cleaner from time to time (depending on the frequency
of use)
bad chimney draught
contact your chimney sweep (elongate chimney/draught
metering)
incorrect use of the combustion air
supply lever please operate air lever according to user's instructions (if
secondary air is closed, the door glass soots rather fast)
wood logs are too large keep to the max. fuel quantity according to user's instruction
operating temperature was not
reached more fuel, use dry wood (< 15 % residual moisture), attend
air regulation
stove does not get enough
combustion air
chimney draught not sufficient
contact your chimney sweep (elongate chimney/draught
metering)
stove is sooted inside
more fuel, use dry wood (< 15 % residual moisture), attend
air regulation
stove smells strongly and there
is smoke on the outside
surface
baking phase of the varnish
there may be some odour development during the first
operations
stove is dusty/dirty cleaning before the heating season starts!
inspect joints and seal up again if necessary
exhaust gas emission while
putting more wood on the fire
and during operation
chimney draught no sufficient, flue
pipe connection leaky check chimney draught, examine operating - for info video

the stove door was opened before
the wood has burnt down to
