12. The Right Fuel
For the most attractive stove fi re, use beech wood logs. If other
types of wood are used, such as oak, birch, pine or larch, we
recommend adding beech wood for picturesque dancing
fl ames. Brushwood and small pieces of wood are good
kindling materials.
Highly resinous coniferous wood (e.g. spruce, pine, fi r) tends
to emit fl ying sparks and leaves behind a fi ne layer of fl ue ash
that can swirl up when the fi re box door is opened.
The fi rewood should be stored for at least two years to achie-
ve the required maximum residual moisture content of 20%.
CAUTION!
If the wood used as fuel is too moist, water
vapour can condense and damage the stove. In
addition, it will reduce the thermal output.
CAUTION!
Burning, e.g.:
-
damp or moist wood(residual moisture
content over 20%),
-
varnished, laminated, treated, or plastic-
coated
wood,
-
wood treated with wood preservatives,
- household
waste,
-
paper briquettes (contains pollutants such
as cadmium, lead, zinc), or
-
any
fl ammable fl uids (including methanol
and ethanol) as well as any fuel pastes
or
gels
is not permitted.
ENVIRONMENT!
Combustion of the materials listed above not
only gives off unpleasant odours, but also
generates emissions that damage the environ-
ment and are harmful to health.
Combustion of non-permitted fuels constitutes
a violation of the German Federal Immission
Control Act.
Improper fuels and their combustion residues
can be detrimental to the functioning and ser-
vice life of the stove and chimney – use of such
fuels voids both the warranty and guarantee.
13 . Initial Operation
NOTE!
During shipment, condensation moisture can
accumulate in the stove’s interior, which may
possibly lead to the appearance of
condensation or water on the stove or fl ue
pipes. Please dry off these damp areas imme
diately.
The surface of your stove was treated in a sandblasting
machine before applying the colour coating. Despite careful
and thorough inspection, there may still be some residual
material in the stove body, which can fall out when your stove
is being installed.
NOTE!
To prevent any damage, please immediately
vacuum up these small steel pellets with a
vacuum cleaner.
The fi rst time a stove is operated, the heat development
causes the emission of volatile components from the coating,
sealing strips and lubricants, and smoke and odours can
occur.
At a higher combustion temperature, this one-time process
can take between 4 to 5 hours.
To achieve this higher combustion temperature, please
increase the fuel quantity recommended
in Section 15, „Adding Fuel/ Heating with Nominal Thermal
Output“, by approximately 25%.
CAUTION!
To prevent adverse effects on health, nobody
should stay in the room(s) during this process
