7.3 Heating in spring and autumn
In the spring and autumn, i.e. at higher outside
temperatures, fluctuations in the chimney draft can
occur in case of a sudden temperature increase, resulting
in the fuel gas not being completely drawn off. Then fill
the fireplace insert with smaller amounts of fuel and
heat with the maximum combustion air supply. This
burns the existing fuel faster with the development of
flames, stabilizing the chimney draw. During Spring and
autumn, when the outside temperatures can change
and rise quickly, the chimney draft could under certain
circumstances, be not high enough to extract the
combustion gas completely. In this case, load smaller
quantities of wood and open more the combustion air
lever. The faster combustion with vigorous flames will
stabilize the chimney draft.
8. Cleaning, Operating Breaksn
CAUTION: Danger of burns caused by hot system
parts!
Allow the fireplace to cool down before performing any
cleaning or maintenance work.
Clean and perform maintenance on the fireplace at
regular intervals. These intervals are dependent on
the duration of operation, your heating habits and the
quality of the fuel. Adjust the frequency of cleaning to
these conditions. Shorten the specified maintenance
intervals if necessary. The specified maintenance
intervals must not be exceeded.
8.1 Behaviour in case of a malfunction in
heating operation
Proceed according to the instructions for your fireplace
insert if a malfunction occurs! Shut down the entire
fireplace if necessary.
Call the fire department at the latest when smoke or fire
exits from the system.
8.2 Servicing
After operating breaks:
After all operating breaks and longer interruptions of
heating, check the interior of the fireplace and the flue
system, and in particular the chimney pipe for clogging
and eliminate this if present before resuming operation.
Also check the entire fireplace for possible defects!
At start of heating period:
Check the operation of all existing safety equipment
and displays (e.g. control unit). Make sure that the flue
system is clean. Have all existing faults or defects
eliminated by an expert.
At end of heating period:
We recommend carrying out annual maintenance
at the end of the heating period.
