3.1 Important operating parts
3.1.1 Grate crank
The height of the grate can be altered for winter or summer operation.
The crank supplied is used for raising and lowering (Fig. 7). The summer operation (grate
position "UP") ensures a high cooking capacity.
3.1.2 Grate door (16)
At the "DOWN" winter position, the grate door is used for lighting and for removing cinders
and slag. The grate door can be opened by turning the catch.
3.1.3 Riddle arrangement (15)
The grate can be riddled in any height position using the riddle bar (15). When it is hot then
the regulator lever can be used (Fig. 8).
Please do not tip any hot ashes into the dust bin or outside.
3.1.4 Temperature controller (1)
The Temperature control regulates the rate of burning through the air intake and thereby
the stove's heating level (Fig 6).
3.1.5 Start damper (4)
The start damper is operated from the front (Fig. 9).
The start damper is open, if the operating lever is pushed forward as far as it will go
(lighting up, cooking).
The start damper is closed when the operating lever is pushed back as far as it will go
(baking, roasting).
WARNING
Leaving the start damper open when heating, leads to overheating and damage to the
range components.
Besides which it increases fuel consumption.
3.1.6 Oven door (5)
The oven door can not be removed without using any tools (Fig. 10).
For removing contact the service.
3.2 Lighting
Open the fire door. First put in fire lighters or wood wool and then lay two or three small
pieces of dry wood on top. Then light the fire through the fire door opening. Close the fire
door and open the start damper.
When the wood is burning well, add a shovel of coal or a few larger pieces of wood. The
ash door should be left slightly open for the time being and should only be closed about
five minutes after adding the fuel
The start damper should now also be closed. The performance control is set according to
the type of fuel and the desired heat capacity or may be closed completely for a low
setting.
Using wood, particularly soft wood, only limited slow burning is possible.
Lignite briquettes are particularly suited to slow burning overnight.
