ment parts warranty period. Neither does a new warranty period begin for the product or for the
replaced part.
Apart from the above warranty rules, the consumer also has those rights which are evident from
the obligatory consumer regulation.
Review
Any fault or defect must be examined by the dealer who has sold the product.
The purchaser must be able to prove that the product was purchased via the dealer and when it
was bought, in the form of an invoice/receipt. The purchaser must specify the model and produc-
tion number which is stated on the product. If the purchaser wishes to refer to a fault, the dealer
must be informed within 14 days of the fault being detected.
Warranty & Safety
Any unauthorized changes to the wood-burning stove will be viewed as structural change and
thereby the warranty will be void. Safety is also jeopardized.
HINTS
Lighting after long break
If the stove has not been used for a long time the chimney should be checked for possible block-
age before lighting. Furthermore it is a good idea to remove any dust from the wood-burning
stove as it might smell after a long break.
Chimney fi re
In case of chimney fi re the doors, drawers and damper of the wood-burning stove must be closed
immediately in order to shut of the supply of oxygen. The relevant authorities must be notifi ed if
necessary. The stove must not be used until the chimney has been inspected.
Kindling
is the designation for fi nely split wood/sticks that are about 20-30cm long and have a
diameter of 2-5cm.
Note
:Dont use alcohol, petrol, or other fl ammable liquids when you ignite the stove.
Wood
like birch, beech, oak, ash, elm, pine wood and wood from fruit trees is all suitable for
splitting into fi rewood.
Waste products
like pressure-treated wood, chipboard, coloured brochure or glossy paper must
not be used in a wood-burning stove. They develop hydrochloric acid or heavy metals which
cause a lot of damage to the stove and the environment.
Firewood
should have a diameter of 7-9 cm and be no more than about 30 cm long, otherwise
it will get too close to the side of the stove (at the CE-testing fi rewood at a length of 22 cm was
used). The most important thing for good combustion is that the wood is dry (15-20% moisture).
If the fi rewood is too wet it is diffi cult to get it to burn, the chimney draught is nonexistent, there
is a lot of smoke and the exploitation is lower as the water has to evaporate fi rst. Furthermore
there may be damage to the stove and the chimney in the shape of shining soot and tarry depo-
sits. At worst it can cause a chimney fi re.
If the fi rewood is too dry it will burn too quickly. Often the gasses in the wood are released faster
than they can burn and some go unburned through the chimney. This also gives lower exploita-
tion and harms the environment.
So it is a balance that is quite easy to fi nd with a little practise. See also below under Storage.
Bio-briquettes
can be used, but they develop a lot of ash and dust. Put in max. 2 kg per hour.
PLEASE NOTE - Bio-briquettes can NOT be used in Smoke Control Area.
Storage of the fi rewood
is best under a roof, however with good ventilation, e.g. in a carport
or under a shed roof. Place the wood on a wooden pallet or the like so it is free from the ground.
Fresh wood that has been sawed and split must be stored for about 1-2 years this way until the
moisture in the wood is down to 15-20%.
The ashes
can be put in the rubbish bin for garbage collection. The ashes should always have
cooled for 1-2 days before it is put in the rubbish bin, as there might still be embers that can light
garbage or a garbage bag.
Regulation and smoke damper
If one is fi xed in the chimney it should not close of more than 80% of the internal diameter of the
chimney.
