Operation of fire grate
Operating lever for the fire grate
With the help of the lever the grate can be opened or
closed to move the ash from the combustion cham-
ber to the ash pan by pushing the grate back and
forth. Primary air can only enter the combustion
chamber if the grate is set on open position.
Heating
•
Only place the quantity of fuel required to
achieve the heating requirement.
For a nominal heating output 5 kW:
- max. 1, 5 kg billet wood
- max. 1,3 kg wood briquettes
For max. heat output allowed:
- max. 3 kgs billet wood
- max. 3 kgs wood briquettes
•
Open the combustion chamber door slowly after
adding new fuel, as otherwise the combustion
gases can escape.
•
Empty the ash pan or combustion chamber in
good time. Otherwise it is possible for the com-
bustion air intake to be blocked or for the grate to
be damaged.
•
Only remove the ash pan to empty it. Always
keep the ash door firmly shut during heating.
•
Clean the ash pan compartment regularly after
removing the ash pan to remove any ash that
may have been spilled (e.g. use a vacuum
cleaner).
Attention:
Any stove and ash residues must
have been left to cool before being removed.
Heating during the transition period
Prerequisite for the stove to function well is the cor-
rect delivery pressure (chimney draught). This very
much depends on the external temperature. There-
fore, if the external temperatures are high (above
16°C) the delivery pressure can be disrupted.
What to do?
•
Open the primary air controller as far as possible.
•
Only put on a small quantity of fuel.
•
Frequently stoke the ash.
Special information
The manufacturer’s guarantee expires if the stove is
significantly or permanently overloaded above the
nominal heating output, or if fuels other than those
listed are used.
•
The stove must only be used with the combustion
chamber doors shut
•
Never remove hot ashes. Only store ashes in a
fireproof, non-combustible container.
•
Attention:
The surfaces get hot! Always use the
enclosed glove when operating the stove.
•
Never use white spirit, benzene or other inflam-
mable, hazardous materials to ignite the fire.
•
The combustion air supply fittings must never be
altered. In particular, it must be ensured that any
necessary combustion air pies are open while the
fireplace is being used.
•
Do not make any changes or modifications to the
stove
