5.1 Drying
Wet wood both burns poorly and makes firing harder, reduces furnace efficiency and damages the
chimney. Furthermore, water vapor transports products of condensation, such as acetic acid, alcohol, methyl
alcohol and tar, which facilitate formation of deposits harmful to your furnace and chimney.
Freshly cut wood is bad for fuel. The major portion of energy it generates is used up for moisture
evaporation, given young bark-free tree contains around 75% of water.
In order to get dry wood (of 15%-20% moisture content), a tree must be cut in the winter to the
desired length and cut to pieces with a maximum diameter of 8 - 15 cm. Then you must leave it in sheltered
and ventilated place for at least 2 years (4 for oak, first to expose it to rain to eliminate tannin). Wood must
be stockpiled in a manner that provides sufficient air circulation for release of moisture.
DO NOT EVER USE:
Unripe or wet wood, wood already used for other purposes (painted and oiled wood, sleepers, plywood
chips, etc.), coke and very caloric coal.
USE OF THE ABOVE SAID MATERIALS AND DAMAGES ARISING FROM IT WILL VOID THE
WARRANTY AND MANUFACTURER'S LIABILITY
6. WEAR PARTS
Following parts are considered wear parts which are not subject to warranty:
All gaskets, glass components, firebox lining, paint, ceramics and components with chemical coatings
(chrome-plated, nickel-plated and galvanized parts). The warranty does not cover damage caused by wrong
installation, improper connection adverse to instructions supplied with the product, or by malfunction due to
incompetent or unauthorized utilization.
7. OUT-OF-SEASON INSTRUCTIONS
After you have cleaned firebox, flue pipes and chimney and completely removed ash and other
residues, you ought to close the firebox door and regulators; if you plan to separate the furnace from the
chimney, you have to close connection holes and thus enable use of the chimney for other devices
connected to it.
Chimney sweeping should be done at least once a year. Gaskets and sealings should be checked
and replaced if so required.
If there is any moisture in a room where the furnace will be kept, we suggest you to put some air
drying substances into firebox. If you wish to maintain the aesthetic appearance of the furnace, it is important
to protect its inner walls of cast iron by neutral Vaseline.
