1.2 Flue pipe connection
Flue pipes pose a particular source of hazard regarding
gas leaks and fire. Get the advice of an authorised special-
ist company for the layout and assembly.
Please observe the corresponding installation guidelines
for walls panelled with wood when connecting your flue
pipes to the stove,
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 con-
nected 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 endan-
gered. 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.
