The logs should be inserted through the right-hand filler door or the door
with the glass panel and placed on the still sufficiently glowing base, in
no more than two layers. Do not overfill.
8.2 Method
The burning of wood is accompanied by high flames and heavy smoke
production. Wood must be burnt up rapidly and with a constant oxygen
supply. The combustion process may not be slowed down under any
circumstances.
Negative consequences could be :
- smouldering fire, condensation and tar discharge
- excessive production of soot
- inconvenience caused by smoke (emission of harmful substances)
- danger of asphyxiation
Wood provides intense combustion of short duration:
Sustained combustion is only achieved through regular top-ups, which
means: only when the wood has almost been burnt up and the
degassing process completed – high flames are reduced to small, low
flames and wood is converted into glowing embers – can the emission
of heat be slowed down by closing the air slider above the glass door
(see figure).
Avoid an excessive amount of fuel in any case, otherwise the energy
surge becomes too great and too much heat will be lost.
9. Ash removal
Take note: do not poke the fire when the appliance is in
operation.
Wood combustion produces little ash. Because of this, the remains of
the embers continue to smoulder in the glowing ash.
The ash pan may be maximally filled with ash of the upper edge. No ash
cone may be formed: otherwise cooling of the combustion chamber
becomes impossible and the cast iron parts would begin to melt.
