Fuel; Chimney - Superia 100 Guide D'installation Et D'utilisation

3. Fuel

The Superia 100 wood-burning stove is intended exclusively for burning and heating with wood and
coal , and is equipped with a grate.
Wood: All types of dry firewood.
Dry wood means solid pieces of wood, of which the moisture content with regard to the weight of dried wood
should not be more than 20%.
Use prepared wood or finely chopped wood (splintery wood) to kindle the fire!
Refuse, wood chips, wood shavings and sawdust, tree-bark and bits of chipboard, laminated wood and wood
with a treated surface may not be used.
Do not chop the firewood too small. Very thin firewood only burns for a short time, and is only suitable for
lighting the stove. Allow large pieces of the customary size of about 50 cm to burn up naturally. Round logs
must be chopped into smaller pieces.
ONLY DRY WOOD WILL PREVENT THE EMISSION OF HARMFUL SUBSTANCES
DURING COMBUSTION!
WARNING! The wood-burning stove is not a refuse incinerator. Environmental legislation expressly prohibits
the burning of refuse in domestic fireplaces. A person who misuses his solid-fuel fireplace for burning
household refuse, chemically treated wood remnants or old paper or uses it as a private refuse incinerator is
not only damaging the environment, but is also contravening the Federal Emission Control Act and can be
punished.
The appliance is not fitted for the combustion of liquid fuels.
Apart from the high, uncontrolled levels of air pollution, the harmful combustion products and combustion
residues also have a detrimental effect on the operation and life span of the wood-burning stove and the
chimney. This results in multiple defects and rapid wear and tear, which will require expensive reconditioning
measures and could even necessitate replacement of the wood-burning stove.
THE GUARANTEE IS NO LONGER VALID IF REFUSE HAS BEEN BURNT!

4. Chimney

whether the dimensions and the quality of the chimney comply
with the locally applicable regulations ;the dimensions must be
calculated if necessary.
By removing the inspection door the chimney is accessible for
cleaning and maintenance. This has to be done in conformity
whit local standards.
