4.4 Ashpan
Joggle the grate control several times to shake the ashes down to the
ashpan. Remember that the ashpan may contain glowing ashes
several days. Empty the ashpan to metallic containers only!
In the fireplace stoves never wash without an ashtray!
5. Heating operation
5.1 Putting the stove in operation
Your new wood-burning stove may only be used with an operation certificate. You will obtain one from the
responsible regional chimney supervision authority after the acceptance of the stove, or in Bavaria from a
registered specialized firm (see also chapter 10).
The stove is exclusively designed for burning of wood, i.e. split wood.
The burning wood must be dry (wood humidity

20%) and untreated. Burning of other materials as
chipboard, varnished, laminated, impregnated or plastic-coated wood, waste, etc. is not allowed and besides
irresponsible loading of the environment it may damage your entire heating system.

Have you removed all accessories from the combustion chamber?

Check whether no objects are found on the wood-burning stove.

Remove possible stickers.

Make sure that all accessories have been removed from the ashpan.

Are all conventional/normal openings free?

During the first heating up leave the door of the combustion chamber slightly open. For your stove special
heat resistant paint was used that will only be finally hardened during the first heating up of the stove. By
leaving the door slightly open you will prevent the insulation material from compounding with the
paint/varnish.
Unpleasant smells that occur during the first heating up are normal. Ventilate your room well to exhaust
the vapours.
5.2 Lighting the fire
It is important to bring the wood to a perfect combustion process quickly and safely. For this purpose
arrange the wood in the stove as described below.
Never use any spirit, petrol or similar flammable substances to light the fire, do not use any glazed paper
either as it does not burn in an optimum way and releases very toxic substances into the flue gas due to its
printing ink.

Put a newspaper or a solid igniter together with wooden chips in the combustion chamber. Stack pieces of
wood crosswise on each other. Fully open the supply of primary as well as secondary air. If the fire does not
burn correctly, you can leave the ashpan slightly open. This will also heat up the glass and prevent formation
of soot coating.

As soon as the fire starts burning correctly, close the ashpan.

During the next loading of wood the burning embers will be evenly distributed in the combustion chamber
and you can add larger pieces of wood, approx. 2 - 3 pieces. If the wood burns properly, close the primary air
supply. Leave the secondary air supply open.

After a few moments, as long as the fire is burning properly, you may find it necessary to reduce the released
heat. First, control the burning speed with the wood quantity in the stove. At the same time you can reduce
the supply of secondary air.

The quantity of air for combustion and for the heat output also depends on the draught of the chimney,
humidity and size of the pieces of wood.
5.3 Environment-friendly heating
Too much wood in the combustion chamber causes overheating. This means high stressing of the stove and brings
bad flue gas values. If you supply too little wood, the stove will not achieve the required operation temperature.
