1) Free air convection between the furnace and the frame made of fire resistant materials.
Minimum 5 cm gap is required.
2) Ensure free air flow to the furnace as well as good exhaust. The size of the exhaust vent
is 1000cm2 (50-20cm). Ensure the exhaust can’t be blocked.
3) Ensure good ventilation through decompression vent size 200cm2.
4) Ensure minimum distance of 150 cm from the appliance to any flammable objects.
6) The operation
Initial firing is to be performed when all the building materials dried off. During initial firing big
fire should be avoided to prevent high temperature jump that may result in some materials
bursting. During initial firing specific smell will come off, this is because thermal protective
materials get harder. Smell will disappear after a few firings.
The doors should be kept closed while firing.
The recommended fuel for use is dried hard woods or eco wood briquettes. It is recommended
to use wood of humidity less than 20%, such humidity is achieved after 2 years of dry storing.
Wet woods (50-60% of humidity) are cost ineffective, burning them also lead to quick blockage
of the system.
Usage of other types of fuel is dangerous to people and appliance and leads to termination of
the warranty.
7) Maintenance
Glass should be regularly cleaned with special detergents available. Ash pan should be
dispensed before all woods are burnt because ash can block the system. Use proper hat
insulated metal tools to dispense the ashes. Make sure it is fully extinguish.
