3. FURNACE OPERATION
3.1. Description
The purpose of this furnace is the indoor heating. The heat is emitted through the glass of the
firebox door and cast furnace parts.
Furnace components are made from the cast iron and the firebox door front is from the heat-
resistant glass.
On the back, the furnace is equipped with a central supplying system for combustion air. Through a
flexible hose of 100 mm diameter the combustion air is supplied from the external environment.
The furnace has a primary and secondary air controller which sets the required combustion air
volume, as well as a continuous air supply from the firebox rear, through fixed holes.
Primary air regulator has to be completely open during firing (15-20 minutes).
After stabilisation of furnace operation , primar air regulator should be shut.Secondary regulator keeps front
glass clean and enables additional combustion.
3.2. Installation
Installation requires support of professionals who are familiar with safety regulations concerning the
furnace installation. Incorrectly installed furnace may provoke accidents (fire in chimney, burning of
insulation, etc.).
3.3. Start-up
At first furnace ignition smoke and odour occur, emanating from the protective paint. This is normal
as paint only stabilizes at temperatures above 350°C. IT IS NECESSARY TO VENTILATE THE ROOM.
Prior to firing all components of the furnace have to be wiped with dry cloth and thus freed from dust
and dirt.
During the first furnace utilizations the quantity of fuel is to be halved compared to the prescribed
quantities in order to test and break-in the furnace.
3.4. Site ventilation
In case there is no external combustion air supply, the room in which the furnace is placed must be
adequately ventilated.
Sufficient ventilation is essential for regular functioning of the furnace without risk to people who use
the room as the furnace consumes oxygen from the air. It is imperative that there must be adjustable air
vents in the room.
4. CHIMNEY
Special attention should be paid to quality of the chimney which is to be designed according to
respective standards. The chimney has to be upkept regularly. The furnace is connected to the chimney
through connection aperture on its upper or back side and appropriate flue pipes in a manner that provides
required tightness and unhindered flow of the smoke from furnace to the chimney. The flue pipe must not
penetrate to deep into chimney as it could then reduce the cross sectional area and thus undermine draught
in the chimney.
