IGNITION AND LIGHTING
Before the first firing, wipe all painted surfaces with clean and dry cloth, in order to avoid burning impurity
on the oven and creation of unpleasant smells.
Start the fire in the stove by following order:
• open the fire door,
• place the fuel into the fire place (chopped wood to non-greasy wrinkled paper), and light a fire
• leave open primary air regulator (opposite of clockwise direction) until the flame gets stable and after
having stabilized the flame, control burning intensity with drafts regulator (Fig. 1, pos. 9)
• secondary air regulator leave opened until the flame gets stable and after
having stabilized the flame, control burning intensity with regulator (Fig. 1, poz.3)
• close the firebox door,
• after creating a basic flame insert larger pieces of wood or briquettes in the firebox, and
close the firebox door. If you use briquettes as a fuel, you must wait that all briquettes are lit and then
reduce the draft in half.
• when adding fuel, open the fire door (Fig. 1, pos. 4) step by step wait for 4-5 seconds, and then slowly
open it wide.
Do not open the door suddenly, when there’s a strong flame in the combustion chamber, it may come to its
spreading into the room.
Regulating the draft in the stove, you can regulate temperature, power and the combustion of fuel, and this
is done by running draft regulator on the firebox door (Fig. 1, pos. 11). Combining primary air regulator and
secondary air over the leverage above the firebox door (Fig. 1, pos. 3) you get desired combustion.
Stove contains auxiliary tools in order to facilitate its maintenance.
Recommended fuels are briquettes and wood.
You must not use gasoline and similar fuels, because by using liquid fuels you create conditions for damaging
the stove and to provoke an explosion.
Attention!
• Do not use organic wastes fuel, food residue, plastic, combustible or explosive materials, which combustion
disturbs the proper functioning of the stove and may cause damage and environmental pollution.
• Increased ambient temperature can cause poor air circulation (drafts) in the chimney, and in that case is
recommended more frequent firing in smaller quantities.
• Avoid using the stove when there are bad weather conditions for the stove andin the case of strong wind,
because it reflects the required vacuum in the chimney. In these cases there may occure potential return of
smoke in the room where the stove is placed. Ignition is difficult then.
We recommend firing every hour with the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber up to 15cm with cross
stacking wood for better airflow.
After each refilling, it’s reccomender to leave the oven running in full speed for 30 minutes,in order to
destroy all volatile elements that may cause condesation in the stove.
For proper operation of the stove it is nesessary:
-
Regular cleaning of stove and chimney
-
Regular room ventilation or better combustion
-
Regular ash tray cleaning
-
Accumulated slag and unburned material regularly remove from the grid
