2.4 Description

▪ The stove has been tested and certified and meets all DIBT
requirements for direct vent fireplace stoves and solid fuels
as per DIN 18897-1 in connection method FC
▪ The stove is a fire place stove for temporary burning as per DIN EN
13240, Category 1 a) (fireplace stove with closed firebox doors).
▪ The iQ technology is a combustion control for roomheaters fired by solid
fuel without hot water production EN 13240:2001/A2:2004/AC:2007.
▪ The firebricks (Fig. 1, No. 7) are made from vermiculite
(fireproof mineral).
▪ The firebox door (Fig. 1, No. 21) of the stove is self-closing, i.e. the
firebox door handle (Fig. 1, No. 20) must be held when opening the
firebox door (e.g. when adding fuel).
▪ When the firebox door handle is released, it will close and catch in
the door latch (Fig. 1, No. 6) and automatically seal the firebox.
▪ The iQ technology (Fig. 1, No. 3; 10; 13; 14; 17) automatically controls
the optimal combustion air setting and firebox temperature to ensure
complete, low-emission combustion.
▪ The stove consists of a steel body (Fig. 1, No. 22) and depending
on the model with steel, ceramic or soapstone cladding to increase
thermal storage.
▪ The stove can be levelled with the adjusting screws (Figure 1, No. 15)
to compensate for uneven installation sites.
▪ The ash drawer (Fig. 1, No. 9) collects ashes and must be emptied
regularly. (see chapter "7.3.3 Cleaning the ash drawer and fire grate")
▪ The control elements, ash drawer and control panel (Fig. 1, No.
12) can be accessed via the service door (Fig. 1, No. 11).
▪ The control panel (Fig. 1, Pos.13) is used to switch the controller on
and off.
▪ The type label (Fig. 1, No. 12) is located on the inside of the
service door.
▪ The mains plug and the USB-C cable (Fig. 1, No. 16) connect
the iQ technology to the mains.

3 Fuels

3.1 Permissible fuels

Stoves may only be used to burn low-smoke fuels. In the case of your stove
this is untreated pieces of wood, including attached bark, in form of split logs.
You may also burn wood briquettes as per DIN EN ISO 17225 or equivalent
quality.
Please note, wood briquettes swell during combustion.
Reduce the amount of fuel based on the fuel value of the wood briquettes by
approx. 10 - 20 % compared to the amount of split logs.
LHASA iQ:
Split logs with a residual moisture content of 12 - 20 % and wood briquettes.
Do not use any other fuels than specified in the operating instructions.

3.2 Storage and drying

INFO: STORAGE AND DRYING
Fresh split wood takes time to dry. When stored correctly, it takes 2-3 years
until it is air dried:
► saw up and split wood ready for use. The wood will then dry
faster.
► Small logs dry faster than large pieces.
► Stack logs in a ventilated, sunny location (ideally southern
exposure), protected from the rain.
► Leave approx. 3 cm between the individual stacks of wood to
improve air circulation.
► Do not cover stacks of wood with plastic foil or tarpaulins,
as these do not allow moisture to escape.
► Only store dried wood in dry, well-ventilated cellar rooms.

3.3 Complete combustion, incomplete combustion

Wood primarily consists of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It
contains practically no environmentally critical substances such as sulphur,
chlorine and heavy metals.
Complete combustion of wood therefore primarily produces carbon dioxide
and water vapour as gaseous substances and a small amount of wood ash as
the solid combustion residue.
Incomplete combustion on the other hand produces a number of polluting
substances, e.g. carbon monoxide, acetic acid, phenols, methanol,
formaldehyde, soot and tar.
To ensure clean burning, the required temperature must be achieved and
sufficient atmospheric oxygen must be available in all reaction areas of the
firebox.
