What must I do in the event of a chimney fire?
We recommend that you take the following steps in the event of a chimney fire
1. Close off the air supply.
2. Call the fire brigade.
3. Clear access routes to the cleaning openings (e.g. cellar and attic).
4. Move all inflammable objects away from the chimney.
5. When the appliance is put back into service, the chimney and the stove should be checked
over by a specialist.
6. This specialist should also investigate the cause of the chimney fire after and take any
corrective measures.
TIP:
If you let the fire burn for 10 minutes each day at maximum power, this allows combustion
products to be burnt off. This reduces the risk of any chimney fire and also helps keep the
window cleaner.
7.6 Conversion from top to rear connection
The fire comes standard with a top connection - which can easily be converted to a rear
connection.
•
Remove the round back plate from the mantle (break out by moving it back and forth).
•
Remove the cover of the drain opening from the inside of the stove.
•
Remove the bus shelter from the top of the appliance and place it on the connection opening of
the stove. Make sure it is connected properly airtight.
•
Place the cover taken from the rear connection on the duct opening above the appliance.
Again, make sure the connection is airtight.
•
Observe the sealing cap provided at the top of the recess in the casing.

Fuel
Clean, dry firewood
Only cleaved firewood with a moisture content of ≤20% is suited for use in this
appliance. Hard
wood types such as oak, birch, beech or wood fruit trees are preferred. You may also burn wood
briquettes. It’s also important to use the correct length and an appropriate amount of firewood.
Damp wood results in incomplete combustion, ma
king it pollutant. It’s also difficult to light,
extinguishes easily and give off significantly less heat compared to dry wood. Finally, soot can be
deposited on the glass, in the appliance or the chimney.
