HEATER OPERATING PROCEDURE
1)
Prior to every firing of the heater proceed as follows:
- Make sure that there is draft in the chimney.
- Make sure that there are no foreign objects, combustion Product residue
from previous stoking in the heater firebox, ash drawer, or in the chimney.
- As required, remove all unnecessary and foreign objects from the firebox
and chimney; remove ash from the ash box.
- Fill the integrated tank up with water.
IMPORTANT! The use of cleaning log
s
(briquettes), homemade
compounds creating high temperature in the heater firebox and chimney,
is prohibited for the purposes of burning the soot deposited in them.
2)
Put 3-4 logs on the grate in such a way as to ensure free access of air to the
combustion area (lay the firewood loosely, adjust the ash drawer gap to be 50
mm max).
IMPORTANT! Allowing firewood to burn inside the heating flue is
prohibited. Allowable length of logs is specified in Table 1.
IMPORTANT! It is allowed to use only the fuel types specified in Section
2. Coniferous, resinous tree species (spruce, fir, pine, etc.) are not
recommended as fuel. Construction and other materials containing
chemicals, glue, etc., are strongly prohibited as fuel. wood chipboard, wood
fiber board, and others.
IMPORTANT! Burning firewood with a moisture content of more than 25% in
the heater leads to a rapid formation of soot deposits on the walls and flue
of the firebox, as well as on the chimney walls.
3)
Ignite the firewood loaded into the firebox.
IMPORTANT! Lighter liquids, explosive or toxic substances, paints, solvents,
gasoline, etc., are prohibited to be used for this purpose.
4)
After heating up of the chimney and development of stable draft (usually
after burning of the first load of firewood) the heater can be switched to
conservative burning in order to maintain the temperature (partly close the
ash drawer, leaving a gap of 10 mm max). Burning mode can be controlled via
adjusting the position of the ash drawer (opening/closing), if necessary.
IMPORTANT! After the firing of the heater and prior to development of a
stable draft, emissions of minor volumes of smoke are possible.
5)
When further stoking and loading of firewood is required, close the ash
drawer, and 5 minutes after that open the door smoothly, without jerks. Load
the firewood and close the door.
IMPORTANT! In order to avoid early burnout of the firebox walls, It is
allowable to carry out subsequent (upon the development of a stable
draft) stoking of the heater to maintain temperature in the steam room in
conservative mode only. It will also help to save the fuel.
