Heating At Low Thermal Output (During Transitional Seasons); Emptying The Ash Drawer; Cleaning The Ceramic Glass Panel - HASE Asmara Manuel D'utilisation

9. Heating at Low Thermal Output
(during Transitional Seasons)
You can vary the thermal output of your Asmara by
adjusting the quantity of fuel used.
NOTE!
Do not attempt to slow down the com-
bustion by reducing the air supply. When
heating with wood, this can result in an
incomplete burning process and pose the
risk of an explosive like combustion of the
accumulated wood gases (deflagration).

10. Emptying the Ash Drawer

As a safety precaution, please make sure that you
only dispose of ashes once they are cold. While the
ash collects during the fire, the lid (fig. 3/1) is lo-
cated under the ash drawer
(fig. 3/2).
The ash drawer contains the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%) as combustion residues.
Remove both the ash drawer and the lid located
underneath it. Make sure the ash does not pile up
all the way to the bottom of the fire box. Slide the
lid onto the ash drawer so that it is closed; this
prevents ashes from flying around, which in turn
means your home stays clean (fig.4)
Please ensure that, when inserting the ash drawer,
the ash drawer lid is positioned on the base of the
drawer with the side brackets facing down.

11. Cleaning the ceramic glass panel

To clean use the included protective glove with an
2
extra long shaft. This protects you and your cloth-
ing from getting dirty.

We recommend a proven and environmentally
friendly cleaning method:
Ball some up paper towels or newspaper, moisten
the ball, dip it into the cold wood ash, rub the panel
with it and then wipe the glass with a clean, dry
ball of paper.

NOTE!
Only use wood ash from split logs for this
2
cleaning process. Wood briquettes can
contain additives, which may scratch the
surface of the ceramic glass.
A common, retail glass detergent may also be used
for cleaning. When cleaning the seal and steel sur-
faces we recommend that you spray the glass de-
tergent on a cloth and not directly on the pane.
