Heating At Low Thermal Output (During Transitional Seasons); Emptying The Ash Drawer - HASE Sendai Pro 135 Manuel D'utilisation

Upon adding new firewood, to help the
wood ignite the air slider should be
opened to the point where the notches on
the sides are only just no longer visible.
9. Heating at Low Thermal Output
(during Transitional Seasons)
You can vary the thermal output of your Sendai by
adjusting the quantity of fuel used.
NOTE!
Do not attempt to slow down the com-
bustion by reducing the air supply. When
heating with wood, this can result in an
incomplete burning process and pose the
risk of an explosive like combustion of the
accumulated wood gases (deflagration).
During the transition seasons (spring/au-
tumn), outdoor temperatures in excess of
16° can cause disruptions to the airflow
in the chimney. If at this temperature a
draught cannot be created by burning a
piece of paper or a small piece of wood (a
pilot fire), no fire should be lit.

10. Emptying the Ash Drawer

As a safety precaution, please make sure that you
only dispose of ashes once they are cold.
The ash drawer contains the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%) as combustion resi-
dues.
Lift the firegrate and tilt it towards the back
(fig. 4). The furnace ash dump can then be re-
moved (fig. 5).
