The primary air inlet regulates the air under the grate
(1). The glass wash air regulates the air for the glass
(airwash) (2) and keeps the glass cleaner for longer.
The secondary air inlet (3) allows for post-combus-
tion under the baffle plate.
The combustion air can be removed from the room
(A) or via a vertical (B) or horizontal (B') outside air
connection.
Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring
fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar
and creosote are highly combustible sub-
stances. Thicker layers of these substances
may catch fire if the temperature in the flue
increases suddenly. By allowing the fire to
burn very intensely regularly, layers of tar and
creosote will disappear.
Low-intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
on the stove window and door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is
better to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low-intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful
substances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye
on the fire until it has gone out. When the fire is
completely extinguished, the air slider can be closed.
Removing ash
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulator for
the stove base plate and ensures better combustion.
Therefore, feel free to leave a layer of ash on the
stove base plate.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
The flow of air through the stove base plate must not
be obstructed. Remove the excess ash regularly.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Scoop the excess ash from the appliance or use
a special ash vacuum cleaner to remove the
excess ash.
Always use an ash vacuum cleaner; using an
ordinary vacuum cleaner that has not been
specially modified can cause serious damage
to an ordinary vacuum cleaner.
3. Open the hatch in the middle of the stove base
plate and remove the ash under the hatch and in
the ash container.
4. Replace the ash container, close the hatch and
close the door of the appliance.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through
the flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If
it is not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the
stove in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix 'Diagnostic diagram' to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
You may hear a ticking sound while the device is
heating up and cooling down. This is completely
normal, and caused by the expansion or contraction
of the material.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot.
At the end of the heating season: close off the
chimney and plug with newspaper.
