Combustion air
Pre-warmed air for combustion (secondary airflow). It must be adapted in every single
case. A strong chimney draught requires less supply of combustion air.
This is also a way to regulate the intensity of the fire and this how much heat it produces.
Never adjust it so low that there are no flames in the stove.

Tertiary airflow
is a constant supply of air that en-
sures the stove burns more cleanly
and, among other things, reduces the
burning material’s content of tar
and soot particles to the absolute
minimum sizes.
With optimal burning you will see that
the glass and the combustion chamber
will burn completely cleanly and there
will be a minimal amount of ash left
by the fire.
Overheating
Overheating occurs when you put too much wood in the stove or if the fire has too
much air. This can happen, for example, when the gaskets in the stove are not sealed
or the ash pan has not been closed properly.
In extreme cases, overheating can lead to a fire in the chimney. Overheating also
causes much wear on the stove, both to wearing parts and gaskets, glass, vermiculite
and the stove itself.
