6.2.
ASH CLEANING
Amount of ash depends on fuel type and fuel humidity
. Amount of
ash is decreasing if the fuel is more dry (see Chapter 1.1) and if the
combustion temperature is high.
Ash box (15)
and box space shall be cleaned every day. Ash disposal
should be carried out in an environmentally friendly way.
Combustion temperature in the firebox is lower
in summer and fall
.
This means an increased amount of ash, so carry out cleaning more often.
If the ash box is full, grate channels may be blocked, so the primary air
flow needed for sustaining the fire flame may be reduced.
We recommend
keeping 2-3 cm layer of ash in the firebox every time, so you can
accelerate the flame burning on the base of the ash layer any time !
6.3.
CHIMNEY CLEANING
For your safety, you should consider cleaning of the chimney at least
once in a year.
Cleaning shall be carried out by a qualified chimney-sweeper !
