Operating instructions
Fuels
Beech, ash and birch are best suited as fuels. These wood types have a high fuel
value and burn cleanly if stored properly in a dry place.
When using wood with a lower fuel value, the firebox pane may become covered in
soot and soot may also accumulate in the chimney.
Tip: Freshly cut wood should be stored for around 18 months outside in a dry place,
protected from the rain, before being used as fuel.
Use a standard fireplace lighter to light the fire.
The following must not be used for lighting and must not be burnt:
•
Liquid fuels
•
Moist or treated wood
•
Wood chips or bark waste
•
Chip boards or comparable coated and uncoated
materials
•
Plastics and foams
•
All materials which are foreign to wood
•
Paper, cardboard
•
All types of waste
Your fireplace is not a "mini waste incineration plant"!
Please protect the environment and only use approved and suitable fuels!
Cleaning the firebox
When operated properly, wood in the basic stove burns leaving approx. 1 -2%
residue.
When removing ashes from the firebox, it must be ensured that there are no residual
embers. Any soiling of the firebox pane can be easily removed with a special
cleaner. Only ever clean the firebox when it is cold.
