THE STOVE COATING ONLY CURES COMPLETELY
ON INITIAL USE DUE TO THE HEAT
- Do not touch the surface during heating. It is still
soft.
- Our coatings are harmless according to TÜV report; a
hazard to health can be ruled out. However, we
recommend airing the flat after initial heating several
times.
- Heat the stove extensively – this shortens the curing
time.
- The curing of the surface is complete after some
proper heating processes.
Please see Chapter 2 for all information on the
composition of firewood and correct heating.
ASH DRAWER
(Page 18-19, part 17)
The ash drawer is to be emptied regularly to prevent
excessive heating of the grate.
Never heat the stove without the ash box.
Hazard of overheating and loss of warranty.
Caution: The ash may contain remaining embers. Therefore do
not put ash in flammable containers and do not place the ash
drawer on flammable surfaces.
OPERATING THE RIDDLE GRATE
(Page 4-5, part 16)
The ash is moved from the combustion chamber to the ash
drawer by pushing the riddle grate handle (part 23) back
and forth. This frees the way for the primary air intake
which is required for heating up.
The riddle grate should always remain closed. Exception:
Wood or briquettes are too moist.
The riddle grate does not have to be operated during
heating.
SLIDE CONTROL (IDEAL
POSITION)
(Page 18-19, part 38)
Fuel Wood/wood briquettes
Primary air Closed (0%)
Secondary air 2/3 closed (66%)
The fire lighting position may only be used for fire lighting
and for a few minutes after adding fuel.
The slide control must be used according to your
experience since the performance of your stove also
depends on the chimney (the ideal position stated is only a
basic guideline).
Note: Air regulator seals to 100%.
Complete closure of the air regulator (zero setting
of slide control) during operation leads to hazard
of deflagration and is strictly prohibited.
FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
OF SLIDE CONTROL
There is a locking pin behind the controller wood handle that
serves as a stop to prevent complete closure of the slide
control. The air regulator can be closed completely by pulling
the locking pin forwards. Complete closure is only permitted
when cold; it is strictly prohibited during operation
