with wood when connecting your flue pipes to the stove,
Q
Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inversion) and draughts
when the weather is unfavourable.

Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in the rooms or to flue
gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in the stove and chimney may also occur.
Q
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check whether all the air inlet
openings are free and the flue gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in
doubt notify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunctions may be
connected to your chimney.

Only use suitable tools from our range of accessories when handling embers
and make sure that no embers fall out of the combustion chamber onto
inflammable material.
Q
Use the heat-resistant gloves supplied to open the doors of your stove.

air independent operation. In combination with room-air installations (e.g.
controlled ventilation and venting systems (extractors etc.) it must be ensured
that the stove and the room air system are monitored and safeguarded
mutually (e.g. via a differential pressure controller etc.). The combustion air
infeed of approx. 40 m3/h must be ensured. Please observe the respective
local regulations and rules in consultation with your master chimney sweep
