Putting more wood on:
1) Fully open air control lever.
ð
This prevents any eddies that would allow flue
gases to escape. If there is one, fully open the
throttle valve.
2) Fully open throttle valve.
3) Slowly open door.
4) Put wood on.
5) Close doors.
6) When the wood is burning properly, close the air con-
trol lever back to about ½ position and close throttle
valve again up to 2/3 (turn to the left).
13.7 Heating in the transitional period
In the transition period, i.e. during high external temperatures, a sudden temperature rise can disrupt
the chimney draft so that the fuel gases are not completely drawn off. In this case the appliance must
be filled with smaller quantities of fuel and operated with the air damper/-controller on a higher set-
ting so that the available fuel combusts more quickly (with a flame developing) and the chimney draft
stabilized as a result.
TIP
To prevent resistance in the firebed, the ashes should be removed more frequently.
13.8 Heating with a ceramic flue (secondary heating surface)
If your stove is equipped with a ceramic flue (or with a metallic secondary heating surface), the follow-
ing must be observed during the heating operation:
• When heating via the secondary heating surface, the firebox door must not be opened (flue gas
leakage). To add firewood, the deflector flap must first be opened. Only then may the firebox door
be opened.
• The deflection of the fuel gases via the heat recovery
surface can take place 15 minutes at the earliest after fir-
ing. Otherwise there is the danger of an uncontrolled
escape of exhaust gas above the door frame.
–
Turn to the left -> opens flap`
fuel gases are routed directly into the chimney. In
this position the firebox door can be opened.
–
Turn to the right -> closes flap
fuel gases are routed directly via the heat recovery
surface. This can only take place with the firebox
door closed.
13.9 Operating mode
We would particularly like to point out at this point that Austroflamm fireplace inserts must only be op-
erated with doors closed. The best efficiency and thus optimal fuel efficiency is achieved in closed op-
eration.
