Danger
!
Do not touch surfaces of the stove, heated to high temperatures, with bare hands or other
open parts of the body to avoid burns and injuries.
Danger
!
Open and close the door only with the handle. Do not lay combustible materials within 20”
(0.5 m) of the surface of the stove.
Danger
!
It is prohibited to dry any clothes and objects, even on a partially cooled surface of the stove.
Caution
!
In order to avoid accidental contact with hot surfaces of the stove there should be a fence of
noncombustible material.
Caution
!
Ash and slag, raked from the firebox and ash-drawer, must be shed with water and disposed
of in a specially reserved fireproof place.
Attention
!
Do not over-fire. Over-firing may ignite creosote or will damage the stove and flue pipe. To
prevent over-firing your stove, follow next recommendations and warnings:
Do not use flammable liquids, vapors, chemicals, etc.
Do not overload with firewood
Do not burn trash or large amounts of scrap lumber
Do not admit too much air to the combustion chamber; the preferred mode for your stove
is prolonged burning with a low burn rate.
Do not make any changes to the appliance to increase combustion air.
OPERATION IN ELECTRICITY GENERATING MODE
Attention
!
Before start of operation the stove should be inspected and repaired. A malfunctioning stove
is not allowed for operation.
Attention
!
Make sure that no combustibles are in the area close to the stove. Be sure the room is
adequately ventilated and the flue is unobstructed.
1.
Place several wads of crushed paper on the firebox floor.
2.
Lay dry sticks of kindling on top of the paper.
3.
Pull out the ash drawer to provide intense ignition of fuel.
4.
Light the paper in the stove. NEVER light or rekindle stove with kerosene, gasoline, or charcoal
lighter fluid; the results can be very dangerous.
5.
Once the kindling is burning quickly, lay wood in the firebox. To ensure the access of air into the
combustion zone lay the firewood loosely. Stack the pieces of wood with care
6.
After 5 to 10 minutes, when the fire is well established, smoothly push the ash box and open the small
gate on the ash drawer. To regulate the intensity of burning, which affects the combustion rate, adjust
the air supply by opening or closing the small gates on the ash drawer. The angle of a small gate
opening is determined experimentally during the operation.
7.
Once Thermoelectric Generators are warmed up enough, it is possible to connect consumer
electronics. You can ensure in their operability when fans start to rotate in both TEGs, and the
indicator lights on the voltage regulator (if included).
