MANAGING OPERATION OF THE COOKER
Start firing up with moderate fire in terms of avoiding thermal shocks.
Following quantity of woods is to be inserted only when previous quantity gets burned.
Do not allow clogging of the grid with ashes and unburned fuel. Clean the grid.
Open the door slowly and carefully, not abruptly, enabling equalization of pressures in the
burner and room, otherwise, it may cause occurrence of smoke in the room.
Cooker is designed and provided for operation with constantly closed firebox door, except
during filling with fuel. Do not open door unnecessarily.
Wood must be with maximal 20% humidity for maximal burning performance. Otherwise, tar and
gases occurs which create creosote with water vapor. If creosote occurs in larger quantity, fire
may occur in the chimney.
Fire in the chimney will be easily recognized as follows: characteristic sound which comes from
the chimney like loud hoot, visible flame which comes from chimney, high temperature of
surrounding walls and characteristic smell of flare.
If fire occurs, take following steps:
•
Immediately call fire department
•
Suppress oxygen inflow into the chimney and turn off the cooker
•
Do not put anything in chimney and look after fire not to extend to the wooden
construction or some other inflammable material in vicinity.
•
NEVER extinguish the chimney with water or to pour water in the cooker
•
Fire in the chimney may be extinguished only with the device with dry powder
•
Water may be used only for surrounding materials
Do not cool surrounding walls with water
Comment:
If fire in the cooker in any reason becomes dangerously strong, do as follows: close air
flaps which provide air for combustion. If necessary, put some specially prepared sand
into the firebox or special fireproof extinguishing blanket. It would be good to have fire-
extinguishing device.
Prior to second filling, clean the grid with auxiliary tools to avoid clogging of fresh air intake.
Regularly clean ashtray taking care to maintain it always clean.
