FUEL
2.1.
R
ECOMMENDED FUEL
The quality of the wood is extremely important for the optimal functioning of
the stove (output, clear glass, etc.).
Good quality wood is wood that has been dried under an aerated shelter for
at least 2 years (+ 18% moisture content). Damp wood gives off less heat
and dirties the stove and the chimney.
You can also use briquettes, and it is best to use them in combination with
wood because burning only briquettes makes the temperature too high.
Optimum fuel efficiency and optimal operation of the heater is achieved
loading of about 3.5 kg wood per hour, horizontally placed on the grate in
the middle of the combustion chamber.
Chimney draft should be 12 -15 Pa and regulator of air supply at maximum.
2.2.
F
ORBIDDEN FUEL
The use of treated wood (painted, etc.) and all types of household
waste, which can disperse hazardous gases, is FORBIDDEN and
CANCELS OUT ANY CLAIM ON THE GUARANTEE. The use of fluid
fuel (petrol, etc.) is also forbidden.
2.3.
S
TARTING THE FIRE
Regulator of air supply at maximum (Pic.16).
Open the lifting door (Pic.3).
Put a bed of tinder (paper or firelighters) with a little kindling (small twigs
or pieces of wood) in the stove and light the tinder.
Leave the door slightly open (+ 3 cm) to get a turbo stream of air that
will make the some kindling catch fire.
After the kindling have caught fire and burn well, the logs may be placed
on the fire. After the logs have caught fire, the door may be shut.
NOTE: When a fire is made for the first time, the paint will harden and that
give off smoke and a smell, which starts after the fire has burned for about
10 minutes and lasts for about 30 minutes. Make sure the room is ample
ventilated.
CAUTION:
It is not necessary to overload the fireplace with wood. 1 kg dry
wood gives a 4 kW power.
Example: a fireplace with an 80% return gives a power for about
4kw x 80% = +/- 3.2 kW for 1 kg dry wood.
If you want a power of 6-7 kW, it is just enough to put 2 kg wood
in the fireplace per hour. This is like one-two normal pieces of
wood.
Be careful not to use pallet wood (this gives an enormous heat) for
continuous heating. This can lead to fire hazard. We are not
responsible for the bad use of the fireplaces and any consequence
for not following this guideline.
The outer surfaces of the device are hot during operation, what
should be paid proper attention to avoid burn injury.
Pic.5
To close, push the door gently (but not to soft) against the hooks.
Make sure that all hooks are hooked.
Pic.4
Above the glass (below the upper frame) hooks are provided. Push
them upwards with your fingers. The window can be now opened at
an angle of to 45°.
