The moisture contained in the firewood has a significant impact on the combustion process
and the heater efficiency, hence to reduce the rate of soot formation on the walls of the
chimney and the flues of the firebox, it is necessary to use the recommended fuel types.
Owing to the special design, Retro has an economical fuel consumption, from 2-5 kg/h,
depending on the selected operating mode, characteristics and thermal insulation of the
room, combustion material quality, etc.
IMPORTANT! Different fuel types have different heat of combustion. When a large amount
of firewood with a high heat of combustion is burned, as well as when the heater is
operated at a constant excessive draft, the heater service life decreases.
IMPORTANT! The following is not recommended as fuel:
‒ coniferous, resinous tree species (spruce, fir, pine, etc.);
‒ construction and other materials containing chemicals, glue, etc.;
‒ vegetation residues (grass, leaves, etc.).
IMPORTANT! The following is prohibited to be used as fuel:
‒ combustible materials with a high heat of combustion (coal, wood chipboard, plastic,
pellets, and so on);
‒ painted or impregnated wood;
‒ waste (plastic, rubber, textiles, leather, etc.).
2.5. Stones for stone heater
The permissible stone sizes are given in Table 1.
Only the stones intended for bath house and sauna shall be used as heater stones. For filling
in the inner stone heater, please also use the stones included into the contents of delivery.
IMPORTANT! Put the stones into the heater only after its complete cooldown.
•
Clean the stones from dirt and dust before putting into the heater, thoroughly rinse them
with water.
•
Fill in the inner compartment of the stone heater with stones up to no more than 70% of
the volume.
•
Do not cover or shut off the nozzle located on the lid of the inner compartment of the
stone heater, while laying stones into it.
IMPORTANT! It is prohibited to use halite to fill stone heaters.
IMPORTANT! It is prohibited to lay stones between cladding panels and heater firebox. It
is allowed to lay stones solely into the inner stone heater and into the bowl of the outer
stone heater.
2.6. Heater operation
IMPORTANT! Before each heating up of the heater, make sure that there are no foreign
objects in the firebox, ash drawer or in the chimney, and that there is chimney draft.
1.
Remove all unnecessary and foreign objects
from the firebox and chimney, remove ash
from the ash box.
2.
Put 3-4 logs on the grate
in such a way as to ensure free access of air to the combustion
area: lay the firewood loosely, fully open the damper of the door.
3.
Ignite the firewood
loaded into the firebox. The preferred ignition method is using
birch bark, wood chips and other natural materials, or using paper or throwaway
newspapers.
4.
Close the door.
