Attention!
• Do not use organic waste as fuel, food residue, plastic, combustible or explosive materials,
which combustion disturbs the proper functioning of the stove and may cause damage and
environmental pollution.
• Increased ambient temperature can cause poor air circulation (drafts) in the chimney, and
in that case is recommended more frequent firing in smaller quantities
• Avoid using the oven when there are bad weather conditions for the the oven and in the
case of strong wind, because it reflects the required vacuum in the chimney. In these cases
there may occure potential return of smoke in the room where the stove is placed. Ignition is
difficult then.
We recommend firing every hour with the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber up to
15cm with cross stacking wood for better airflow.
After each refilling, it’s reccomender to leave the oven running in full speed for 30 minutes,in
order to destroy all volatile elements that may cause condesation in the oven.
For correct stove operation it takes:
-
Regular cleaning of the stove and chimney
-
Regular room ventilation for better combustion
-
Regular ash tray cleaning
-
Accumulated slag and unburned material regularly remove from the grid
HANDLING THE 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 to ta pit 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 creosite. If that happens in some
bigger quantitiy, 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.
