5. Combustion Air
Contrary to a normal fireplace the stove uses very little combustion air. In most houses entry of fresh air through
gaps in doors and windows is sufficient to provide this air. However, in houses that are well insulated this may not
be sufficient. If so, a ventilation grille should be set into an outside wall near the stove to provide additional
combustion air. The combustion air consumption of your particular stove can be found in the technical characteris-
tics. Take account of other heating appliances or air outlet installations in the same area or on the same combus-
tion air connection. If needs be the total combustion air consumption for the room(s) should be calculated. If 15
minutes after lighting the fire there is still a backdraught of flue gases due to weather conditions (e.g., fog, storm)
stop lighting the fire until the weather improves.
Note: be sure to take account of extractors which might be connected in the vicinity of the stove. These create
negative pressure, which can lead to disruptions in the supply of combustion air. Any escape of combustion gas is
potentially lethal and can damage the health of the people living in your home.
6. Using the insert
Run your stove in slowly. Your first fires should be made with a small amount of wood and a gentle flame, allowing
the stresses in the metal to dissipate and the entire installation to dry out. Even after running in your stove, never
make intense, prolonged fires. Little extra heat output is achieved and you risk damaging your stove.
