suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is nec -
essary for the fire to regularly burn very
intensely, so that thin layers of tar and
creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to d e-
posit on the stove panels and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better
to let the stove burn intensely for just a
open stacking compact stacking

Burning coal

FOR BURNING WITH COAL, THE AIR INTAKE ABOVE THE DOOR (2) (= SECONDARY AIR
INTAKE) AND THE AIR INTAKE AT THE BACK SIDE (3) MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.
(For shutting the air intake at the back, the blocking slide must be positioned in
such a way that it shuts off the air intake.)
Burning coal without bunker
When the ignition fire has sufficie ntly stabilized and when there is a sufficient blaze,
then a scoop of coal can be added to the fire.
Use the front door when filling. Once the coals have ignited, the addition of coals
can be completed. Make sure that you do not put out the fire by adding too much
coal at once. After the coals have been burning well for some time, adjust the level
of the thermostat. Just prior to refilling, open the thermostat completely. Now use
the shaking grate and shake until glowing bits fall into the ash drawer. After that,
add coal.
After a couple of minutes, adjust the thermostat to the desired position. Add a maxi-
mum amount of coal until you can just make out the glow of the previous filling.
Burning with coal with bunker (optional)
After sufficient burning of the ignition fire, the bunker is filled with coal by way of
the filling lid on the top panel. After the coals have been burning well, the thermo-
stat is adjusted to the desired position. The filling frequency depends upon the de-
sired performance. In order to leave the furnace on during the night, the thermostat
must be adjusted to level 1, approximately. The correct
level depends on the chimney and the weather conditions
When the fire basket or the cast-iron plate fins are red-hot,
you are heating too intensely.
