and burdens the environment unnecessarily.
•
Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on. A crackling re has a minimum air consumption of 25
cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking hood when you have a stove burning in the same space.
•
Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly any
draught in the cold chimney when the weather is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the chance of
smoke streaming into the room. In foggy weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools quickly and
may descend and become a nuisance in your neighbourhood.
•
Don't smother the re suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform or
crack as a result of sudden or great di erences in temperature.
•
Please shut the valve clack of the air valve to put out the ames.
Chimney and ue
The chimney is the most important part of your wood-burning hearth.
When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane or
create bad combustion. Before starting the installation of the stove, your installer or a quali ed chimney sweep
must check whether the chimney ue has a diameter of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length, and whether
the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.
Chimney with proper draught
Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of every chimney. It helps when the wind near the chimney mouth
draws the air from the chimney.
Fall wind may give the opposite e ect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy air may
thwart proper draught in your chimney, as does a long ue pipe with a rough inside and many bends. If the
natural draught in your chimney is poor, your installer can give you information about using a ventilator for your
ue tube.
What to do in case of chimney re
In case of chimney re, immediately close the shut-o valve in the ue and all air supply ducts. Call the re
department. After the re is extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be inspected again by your installer.
Maintenance
Small maintenance
•
It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three centimetres. It will protect the re plate.
•
Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give o
cleansing agents or abrasives.
•
Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings.
•
Do not touch the clean glass with your ngers. Finger marks burn into the glass.
•
Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove.
When the stove is not used
•
Close all doors and air inlets in summer season
•
Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a humid space.
Yearly maintenance
•
Have your chimney properly cleaned by a quali ed chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons and
any re insurance.
