The wood burns up too quickly. What should I do?
Ensure that air cannot get in underneath the fuel. Close the primary air supply/
ridling grill and ash drawer. Under these conditions, the layer of ash should no
longer burn bright orange/white but red.
If there is a draught (due to strong wind), air intended as secondary air for above
the fuel may enter through the openings above the door and fl ow straight down
beneath the wood. If this happens, close the air supply-slider slightly.
There may be too much of a draught in your chimney, particularly if it is very high
(in excess of 8 m). Ask your supplier to fi t a fl ue valve or fl ue damper. This may
not be possible in all cases.
Can I leave my fi re unattended?
Only when it is burning peacefully with little wood and if the door is closed as
well as the primary air slides. Do not leave children unattended while the fi re is
burning.
Do I have to take any extra measures if the room I am heating has an
extractor fan?
If the room in which the fi re is located has permanent air extraction, the
combustion air supply connection (behind/under) must be connected directly to
the outside air. The combustion air will then be drawn in from outside the room.
What is creosote?
Creosote is a tar-like deposit which is left in the chimney. It is formed in poor
combustion conditions when burning wood (damp wood, pinching off the
air supply to the fi re or burning impregnated or painted wood for example).
Creosote ignites at approx. 500°C. This temperature can easily be reached if the
fi re is raging. This means that deposits of creosote in your chimney could cause
a chimney fi re.
