Operating instructions
Achieving glowing embers
Add 2.5 kg of wood after 10 minutes (small to medium sized logs) - diameter approx.
4 to 6 cm, length of max. 28 cm - lock the door,
set the air slider to half open, allow to burn for approx. 30 minutes
After firing up, close the air slider
A maximum of 12 kg can be placed in the stove during one complete burn-up
Ash
Wood logs and wood briquettes produce only a small amount of combustion residue.
It will therefore be necessary to remove this ash from time to time. This should be
done when the bed of ashes is more than 5 cm high. It is staggering how long
embers can remain hot in seemingly cold ash. That is why ash should never be
thrown directly from the stove in the waste bin. It is recommended to store ash
temporarily in a metal bucket with lid. Ash is also suitable for composting.
