Door
Caution: Use protective glove!!!
When adding wood, pull the door handle up. The door opens from the side.
After you have finished, remember to securely lock the door again by press-
ing it back in.
A torsion spring is used to automatically close this door. This spring
should never be disabled (refer to DIN 18891, Type 1). The door must
be locked manually.
6.3
Ash Drawer
The ashes will fall down into the ash drawer after you pull on the
grate lever several times. Do not forget that ashes will remain hot
for several days in the ash drawer. Only use sheet metal ash con-
tainers to empty ashes out! LASCAR and STROMBOLI have no tool
drawer.
A fire should never be started in the woodstove if the ash drawer is not
in its proper position!
Disposal of Ashes - Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a
tight fitting lid. The closed container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible floor or on the ground, well away from all combustible
materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial
in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the
closed container until all cinders have thoroughly cooled.

Heating Operation
7.1
First Use
Your new woodstove should not be used until after you have obtained approval from the proper authorities regarding its
proper installation and conditions of use.
The woodstove is designed to burn only wood, i.e. pieces of wood or wood briquettes.
The wood must be dry (moisture
?
20%) and untreated. The burning of any other materials, such as chipboard, painted,
laminated, impregnated, or synthetic coated wood, garbage, etc. is prohibited and causes irresponsible damage to the envi-
ronment, as well as damage to your complete fireplace system.
?
Have you removed all accessories from the ash pan and the fireplace?
?
Check to make sure that no objects are located on top of the woodstove.
?
Are the conventional / standard openings free and accessible?
?
Keep the door to the fireplace partially open during the first lighting of your woodstove, as long as the fire has not gone
out. The same applies to the ash pan. A special, heat-treated paint was used on your stove, and its hardening process is
not completely “burned in” until after the first lighting. By keeping the door and ash pan partially open, this will pre-
vent the gasket seals from adhering to the paint.
Unpleasant smells that occur during the first lighting are normal. Provide good air ventilation to your room to re-
move these odors. (!!! Heat until peak temperature is reached!!!)

Warning: Be careful in using the door. Never operate a
stove with a broken Glass!!!
