6) As soon as the logs have burned well all around after
a few minutes, close the combustion air controller by
approx. 50% (bring the regulator to the middle posi-
tion) or close the throttle valve, if available, by 50%
(handle to the left).
14.5 Heating
1) Combustion air damper maximum 50 % opened (regulator to middle position). Otherwise the
amount of fuel laid burns off too quickly and the temperatures on the appliance become too
high.
2) Throttle valve, if present, 50 % opened. Otherwise the amount of fuel laid burns off quickly.
3) Completely open all available warm air grilles.
4) If there are only embers left in the firebox, stoke up.
14.6 Putting on wood
Please note that the fireplace inserts are not slow-burn fires. These are temporary-burning fires, i.e.
longer continual operation is achieved through repeated stoking up.
No loose or easily flammable items of clothing should be worn when laying the fire.
The right time for stoking up has come when the fuel has almost burnt down to the ember phase. The
second deposit should be made approximately 45 minutes after the first. Further deposits of wood are
then generally no longer necessary.
If nevertheless you would like to continue operating the system, the deposit intervals must be exten-
ded and the deposit quantity reduced (by 0.5 – 1 kg).
