3. Operating instructions
During the first stoking, pay special attention to the following:
the chimney and its exhaust have to be clean and in good condition,
the flap handle for working position of the oven and the air regulator for
combustion have to be in adequate positions. The flap on the oven is used to direct
the hot flue gases into two possible directions. If the flap handle is extracted from
the stove (open position), i.e. in the direction of the operator, the flue gases do from
the burning unit directly to the chimney. To the contrary, when the flap handle is
pushed towards the stove (closed position), the flue gases go around the oven and
then into the chimney.
During the starting of the fire, in order to ensure the easiest route for flue gases, the
flap handle has to be in the open position. Also, the air regulator has to be
maximally open, i.e. in position 8.
During the first several hours of work, the coats inside the stove and fire-proof
paint would burn (dry), especially on the top plate. These vapours are unpleasant,
however they disappear after 3-4 hours of strong fire and never reappear during the
entire useful life of the stove.
Use dry wood that has been drying for at least three months in adequate conditions
or wood briquette for stoking
Etaž.
The use of waste materials, in particular plastics, for stoking is strictly forbidden.
Start the fire by using paper and small amount of chopped, dry wood inserted
through the lower door of the boiler. The upper door has to be closed during
starting of fire.
Bear in mind that parts of the stove, in particular the top plate, top plate frame,
oven door, boiler door handle, flue connection and flue pipe reach very high
temperatures which may cause serious burns on humans and animals. Therefore,
the stove should be used only by adults and healthy individuals. Use protective
gloves.
The nominal power is determined by the quantity of fuel being burnt, as well as by
the amount of air. The fuel level should not exceed the lower frame of the stoking
door, while the air regulator should be open in the position 8.
The nominal power should be maintained by adding 3-4 larger chunks of wood into
the fire every half hour.
If the stove is being stoked during work, the flap handle should be in the open
position, the stoking door should be 1-2 cm open for 1 minute and then opened as
much as possible. This prevents the occurrence of smoke outside the stove.
In the situation when the fuel level is higher than the one specified for nominal
power, i.e. when the fuel level is very close to the top plate, the uncontrolled smoke
may occur. In such a case, you should open the flap handle and stop adding wood
for a while.
