Floor load capacity
Make sure that the load capacity of the supporting
construction is sufficient to carry the weight of the
entire unit
, before the heating unit is installed.
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
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, lignite briquettes.
Maximum amount of fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,7 kg wood or
briquettes. 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.
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.
Fully pull out both levers for the combustion air and
the grate (position “AUF” fig. 2, also fig. 3).
Place 2-3 logs (approx. 1,3 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 and some ignition aid and light.
Close the door!
.
Fig. 3: before lighting
We recommend to let the first load burn down without
changing the air lever position.
As soon as no visible flames are left (only embers in
the combustion chamber), you can put another load
of logs (approx. 1,7 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.
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 max. 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.
