HANDLING STOVE OPERATION
- Start a fire with a moderate flame in order to avoid thermal shocks.
- The following amounts of wood are inserted only after the previous volume burn. Do not allow that ashes
and unburned accumulate on the grid and top of it that way. Clean the grid.
- Open the door slowly and carefully, allowing that way equalization of pressure in the firebox and in the
room, otherwise it might cause the smoke in the room.
- The stove is designed and intended for use with firebox door constantly closed, except during refueling. Do
not open the door with no need.
The wood must be a maximum of 20% moisture content for maximum fire effect. Otherwise the tar
gets separated which with water steam may crate creosote. If that happens in some bigger quantity, it may
lead to a chimney fire. You will most easily recognize chimney fire by: the characteristic sound that comes out
of the chimney like loud roaring, visible flames coming out of the chimney, high ambient temperatures of
surrounding walls and the characteristic smell of burning.
If there comes to the fire do the following:
• Immediately call the fire squad
• muffle oxygen supply to the chimney and turn off the stove
• Do not insert anything into the chimney and make sure that the fire does not spread to the wooden
construction or other combustible materials in its nearby.
•
DO NOT
pour water into the stove or chimney
• A fire in the chimney can be extinct only with dry powder
• Water can extinguish only a surrounding material
• Do not cool the surrounding walls with water
Note:
If the fire in the stove for some reason becomes dangerously strong take the following measures: close air
dampers that provide air for combustion. If it is necessary put in the firebox specially prepared sand for this
purpose or non-combustible fire blanket. It would be good to have a fire extinguisher.
Before the second charging, clean the grid in order to provide the fresh air.
Regularly clean the ash pan making sure that there is always a place for ashes.
The stove is designed to operate in periodic mode. To maintain the required nominal power, combustion
chamber is periodically filled with reestablished amount of fuel.
Stove is not designed to operate in continuous mode of heating or in accumulating temperature mode.
