9.12. Operation of the stove
ATTENTION! Before the stove firing up make sure that there is draft in the flue. Home draft testing is
performed as follows set a lighted match to the open firebox door, if the flame is pulled into the firebox
there is draft in the flue.
ATTENTION! The stove shall be used by only people, who know rules of operation to avoid personal
injuries.
ATTENTION! Don't burn the firewood in a fuel canal. It can lead to deformation of a door and smoke
spreading in a sauna.
ATTENTION! It is prohibited to stoke the stove with the open door except for the cases of re-starting up.
This may lead to appearance of dangerous modes of stove operation, smoke entering the heated room and
fire breaking-out.
ATTENTION! Don't use constrained air-feeding in the ash drawer.
ATTENTION! Don't extinguish fire with water.
ATTENTION! Little deformation of metal is possible in the combustor at the time of stove's operation. It
doesn't disturb of hermiticity of weld seams. It isn't a sign of defective products.
ATTENTION! If temperature in a premise is less than +5°C at the period of pause in the stove's work, then
water will be drained from a system of water heating.
Before regular heating of the stove, it is necessary to check the firebox and ash drawer and if it would be
necessary to clear its from ash and other items (unburned fuel, foreign objects (e.g. nails) remained from past using
of the stove.
It is necessary to lay the firewood on the fire bar through the door. At the time of heating, that to provide an
intensive ignition of a fuel and air access to a combustion zone, it is necessary to lay not tightly the firewood and a
little push the ash drawer.
Do not load the fire chamber up to the top – this may lead to a dangerous situation when the door will be
open. Always shut the door after starting the stove up.
To reduce the amount of pollutant emissions it is necessary to start the ignition from the upper part of the fuel
and during the use of the stove add firewood into the fire chamber by small portions.
Fire box shall be filled with small and medium firewood for quick achievement of high temperature in a steam
room with more economic expense of firewood (regime of temperature increase). Large-size firewood shall be put
into the bottom and smaller ones to the top. Put the kindling wood on top of the firewood.
Ash hole shall be closed and big firewood shall be loaded into the combustor for supporting of stones'
temperature and air in a steam room. Sensible quantity of firewood is 3-4 pcs.
For the emergence of a stable chimney draft after heating of the stove is needed a little time. Small smoke
emission in a premise is possible if would be opened the door of the just heated working in the regime of
temperature increasing stove. Burning of the first fuel is sufficient for flue preheat and developing of a chimney
draft which prevents fuming.
In the following, air flow, affecting the combustion rate, would be regulated with opening or closing of the ash
drawer.
For laying a regular batch of fuel, it is necessary completely close the ash drawer and to slowly open the door
after some seconds.
Be careful during the regular firewood adding to not put out the fire.
For ending of the stove's operation, please, wait till completely burning-out of a fuel, thereafter, clearing the
stove from ash and to close fully the door, the ash drawer and the gate.
