1.3
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.
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.
1.4
Push the embers together to form a firebed when
you add new fuel.
1.5
Only use suitable tools when handling embers and
make sure that no embers fall out of the
combustion chamber onto inflammable material.
1.6
Use the equipment supplied to open the doors of
your stove, e.g. heat-resistant gloves.
1.7
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
These may only be operated with the combustion
chamber door closed.
1.8 The combustion chamber door may only be
opened to add fuel and must then be closed again
otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
1.8.1
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed
when the stove is not in operation.
1.9
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly
inflammable materials such as soot and tar and
subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if wet
fuel is used and operation is damped too much.
If this occurs phone the fire brigade and get
yourself and other residents out of harm’s way.
Note: The size of the combustion chamber door makes
it necessary, particularly with post-heating when
ablaze, not to open the door too abruptly to prevent
the tips of the flames reaching out.
Important information on ROOM-AIR DEPENDENT and
ROOM-AIR INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
Your stove has been tested as a room-air dependent
stove according to EN 13240 and does not conform in
Germany to the requirements for room-air independent
operation. In combination with room-air installations
(e.g. controlled ventilation systems, extractor systems
etc.) it must be ensured that the stove and the room-
air system are monitored and safeguarded mutually
(e.g. via a differential pressure regulator 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.
