Secondary air slide (15) (only K148)
The air intake for the winter position of the grate can be regulated by the secondary air
slides for afterburning the flue gases.
Keep the slide closed for summer setting (Fig. 10).
Fuel trolley (5)
The fuel trolley is on rails and by lifting can be taken out completely (Fig. 11).
ATTENTION
Do not store easily combustible material (paper etc) in the fuel trolley.
The ash door or the fire door may be opened or closed during operation using the protec-
tive glove.
1.3 Lighting
When the grate is in "DOWN" position (winter setting)
Leave the ash door, the fire door and the grate door open, using a fire lighter or wood
shavings and small pieces of firewood lay them on the grate. Light through the grate door
and shut the fire door (Fig. 13).
When the wood is burning well, add fuel through the fire door. Only close the ash door after
about 5 minutes and open the secondary air slide. The required heat output can now be
selected on the temperature controller (16).
When the grate is in the "UP" position (summer setting)
The procedure is identical to when it is in the "DOWN" position but it is lighted through the
fire door (Fig. 14). If the outside temperature is over +15 °C smoke could come out be-
cause of the low chimney draft. A small fire of wood shavings in the chimney base, as a
pilot fire can help.
ATTENTION
In the interests of air pollution prevention no paper should be used when lighting
and the combustion chamber should be fuelled with two to three charges at inter-
vals of 10 to 25 minutes and not all at once.
WARNING
When the heating stove is operating, any air/moisture extractor must be switched off
in the room where the stove is installed to avoid any danger of extracting flue gas
from the stove.
