11.4 Air setting with closed operation
:
The fireplace inserts of Haas + Sohn have an
adjustable air damper. The required combustion
air enters as primary air through the grate and the
lateral ducts and the firebox as window flushing air
above the firebox door.
11.5 Adding fuel:
In addition to the use of suitable fuel and
adequate fuel draught the manner in
which the fireplace is operated also has
major influence on keeping the view
window clean. In this connection we
recommend to charge only one layer of
fuel, to use preferably long (approx.. 33 or
50 cm) which largely fill the firebox width.
Briquettes should be arranged in the
firebox so that they preferably fill one layer
(approx. 5 to 10 mm distance between the
briquettes).
Caution! Add additional fuel only on the basic
embers (no flames present).
Approximately 5 to 10 seconds before opening the
firebox door completely close the primary air
damper or dampers (see Equipment sheet) to
prevent the leaking of smoke gases from the
combustion chamber into the living room. Having
charged the fuel, please close the firebox door
again. After this, immediately set all air dampers to
maximum opening to keep the time span to the
igniting of the fuel as short as possible. As soon
as the fuel burns lively re-establish the control
setting as described on the enclosed Equipment
Sheet.
11.6 Operating mode in the transition period:
In the transition period or with elevated outside
temperatures, problems with the chimney draught
can occur in the event of a sudden temperature
increase so that the flue gases are not fully
extracted. For this reason, always operate the
stove in the transition period only with the least
amount of fuel possible in order to be able to
improve the combustion and draught situation in
such cases by opening the air dampers.
11.7 De-ashing:
Following prolonged burning, at least once per
day, remove the ash with the help of a poker
through the grate in the ash box and empty the
ash box. This is best done in the morning after the
embers has left the fireplace in a relatively cold
state. Please ensure that the ash box is emptied
when approximately half full so that the ash cone
does not grow up too closely to the grate.
If the grate is packed in the ash cone there is a risk
that it is damaged through overheating since it
cannot be circulated by any air.
Caution!
Before emptying ash always ensure that there is
not residual embers in the ash. Even if the ash is
cold remnants of embers may still be present and
result in a fire in a waste container.
Wood ash can be composted and used as
fertilizer.
12. Cleaning and care:
At least once per year, if required more frequently,
clean and look after your fireplace insert in the cold
state. When doing so, remove the ash deposits in
the smoke pipe and on the smoke deflection plates
or draught deflection plates. Draught deflection
plates of vermiculite can be removed for cleaning
(see Equipment sheet). Please reinstall these
carefully in the same position after cleaning. For
cleaning the smoke gas draughts an ash extractor
with fine particle filter is best suitable. Dirt on the
view windowpane is best and most
environmentally friendly removed with a scouring
pad moistened in water which you dip in the wood
ash or other domestic glass cleaners. The chimney
must likewise be regularly cleaned by the chimney
sweep.
Your master chimney sweep will inform you on the
necessary intervals.
The chimney stove should be checked by an
expert once per year.
