vapour can condense in the flue pipe or chimney. This can lead to a build up of shiny soot
on the chimney or chimney creosote. In addition, if the wood has a high moisture content,
the combustion temperature decreases, which prevents complete combustion of all the
wood components and causes considerable environmental pollution.
You can use a wood moisture meter to determine the residual moisture content of your
firewood.
20. Storing and Drying Wood
Wood needs time to dry. If stored properly, it will air-dry in approx. 2 to 3 years.
Saw, split and store the wood ready for use; this ensures rapid drying because
smaller pieces of wood dry better than larger, uncut logs.
Stack and store your wood logs in a ventilated and as sunny as possible location,
ideally facing south, and ensure that they are protected from rain.
Leave a hand's width between the individual piles of wood so that air can flow
between them and carry away any escaping moisture.
Do not cover your stacks of wood with plastic sheeting or tarpaulins; otherwise
the moisture cannot escape.
Do not stack fresh wood in a cellar or basement, since it will rot rather than dry
due to the lack of airflow.
Only store already dried wood in dry and well-ventilated cellar or basement
rooms.
21. Cleaning and Maintenance
21.1 Steel Cladding
Hase stoves are coated with a heat-resistant open porous lacquer that provides only limited
corrosion protection; accordingly, a rust film may develop in some cases.
Do not use any detergents containing acid (e.g. citrus or vinegar cleaners) to
clean the steel parts. The steel parts can be sufficiently cleaned by wiping them
down with a slightly moistened cloth.
Avoid using excessive water to clean the floor/floor plate areas.
Spilt water from kettles, boilers or water tanks should be immediately mopped
up.
Do not install the Lisboa in „damp rooms", e.g. conservatories or enclosed
porches. Avoid temporary storage in unheated building shells or garages.
Treat areas covered in a rust film with the original Hase Stove Lacquer Spray. Be
sure and follow the instructions on the spray can. Your authorised HASE specialist
dealer stocks the stove lacquer spray and can give you tips on using it.
