9. OPERATION – MANUAL REAR WALL
Correct heating up
1. Press the control knob at the rear wall down completely into “Heating-up
position” – primary and secondary air intakes are open completely in the
heating-up position. Open the combustion chamber door, place left and right 2
small pieces of chipboard lengthways in the bottom of the combustion chamber.
Place 2 logs crossways on top of this chipboard.
2. Now place further pieces of chipboard in crossways layers on top of the logs
and place a firelighter on the left underneath the chipboard (some uncoated
paper can be placed underneath the chipboard instead of using a firelighter).
3. Open the riddle grate completely and now light the firelighter (or the uncoated
paper) and close the combustion chamber door. “Correct heating up” primarily
counteracts excessive smoke during heating up.
Set the control at the rear wall to middle position some minutes later. The
primary air intake is now closed and the secondary air intake is completely
open. The control can be set to ideal position (see CONTROL KNOB REAR WALL)
another few minutes later (depending on draught and fuel quality / amount).
After the first burn-off, again add approx. 2kg wood (2 logs). Open the riddle
grate and set the control at the rear wall to “Heating-up position” again until the
wood is well lit. Further regulation is effected as described in Item 3.
Please proceed in the same way for every further addition of wood.
Note
If a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a low firebed, an explosive
gas/air mixture may arise and cause a deflagration. It is recommended that a
new heating-up procedure is started for safety reasons.
Operating the riddle grate
The ash is moved from the combustion chamber to the ash drawer by pushing
the riddle grate handle back and forth. This frees the way for the primary air
intake which is required for heating up.
The riddle grate can be closed for further wood addition after the heating up.
The riddle grate should always remain closed. Exception: wood or briquettes
are too wet.
Control knob rear wall
The “Heating-up position“ may only be used for heating up.
The performance of your stove also depends on the chimney draught;
therefore the control know at the rear wall must be used according to your
own experience.

Note
The air control seals to 100%. Complete closing of the air regulator (zero
setting of control knob) during operation poses a hazard of deflagration and
is strictly prohibited.
A stop to prevent inadvertent closing of the air intake has been integrated for
safety reasons.
To prevent air intake completely, the control knob at the rear wall must be
pressed back slightly, only then can the zero position be set and the air
regulator thus closed.
