* danger of asphyxiation
Wood provides intense combustion of short duration.
Sustained combustion is only achieved through regular top-ups, which means: only when the wood has almost been
burnt up and the degassing process completed - high flames are reduced to small, low flames and wood is converted
into glowing embers - can the emission of heat be slowed down by closing the air slider above the door with the glass
panel and the one of the ash pan.
Avoid an excessive amount of fuel in any case, otherwise the energy surge becomes too great and too much heat will
be lost.
d) Removal of ash
Take note: do not poke the fire when the appliance is in operation.
Wood combustion produces little ash. Because of this, the remains of the embers continue to smoulder in the glowing
ash.
12. ASH REMOVAL
The ash must be removed from the stove once to twice a day. For poking, use the poker rod located on the rear wall,
next to the closed ash door.
The ash pan may be maximally filled with ash to the upper edge. No ash cone may be formed; otherwise cooling of the
combustion chamber becomes impossible and the cast iron parts would begin to melt.
The ash door should always be closed when the stove is in operation. If this is not done, the stove overheats and is
damaged.
13. MAINTENANCE - IMPORTANT
The smoke discharge duct (between the checking-plate and the rear wall) must be cleaned after every heating season
– at least 1 x a year.
By removing the control damper, you will be able to reach the smoke discharge duct.
This makes it easy to remove the fly ash from the discharge duct as well as the connector. The control damper must
be put back correctly afterwards.
It is recommended that, after the heating season (i.e. during the summer months) the flue pipe between the stove and
chimney should be removed or sealed in order to prevent condensation and/or corrosion in the stove. This improves
the durability of your stove.
14. INSTRUCTIONS
In the case of the TOP model, kettles, pans, etc. may only be placed on the polished filler funnel lid and the drop-in
frame after 1 month of use.
In addition, no water may be spilt on the hot plates (to prevent cracks from being formed).
When in use, the polished upper plate will glow and become blue. This is a normal phenomenon.
The polished plate can be cleaned with steel wool or a maintenance product intended for this purpose.
