Operating Instructions and Installation Instructions

Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Stoke the fire regularly and thoroughly.
If you frequently burn at a low setting, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar and
creosote are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances may catch
fire if the temperature in the chimney increases
suddenly. By burning the fire at a high intensity
on a regular basis, any layers of tar and creo-
sote will disappear.
Burning at a low intensity can also cause tar to
be deposited on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is not very low,
it is better to burn wood intensely for a few
hours instead of having a low intensity fire for a
long period of time.
Control the air supply using the air vent.
The air inlet not only supplies air to the fire but
to the glass as well, so that it does not quickly
become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.
Removing ashes
After the wood has been burnt, a relatively small
amount of ashes is left over. This bed of ashes is a
good insulating layer for the stove base plate and
improves combustion. It is good to leave a thin layer
of ashes on the stove base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a cast-iron inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Use the scraper supplied to sweep the excess ash
into the ash pan.
3. Using the glove supplied, remove the ash pan and
empty it.
4. Replace the ash pan and close the door of the
appliance.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.
Solving problems
Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the stove.
