12. Putting more wood on the fire
• open door slowly, so no turbulences can occur which might cause escaping flue gases. The right
moment for putting more wood into the combustion chamber has come, when all fuel has burnt down
to embers.
• open throttle valve completely, if at all installed.
• refill fuel.
• close door.
• close throttle valve by two thirds.
13. Heating in between-seasons
In between-seasons, i.e. when the outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may not be able to
escape completely and this may lead to disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the
temperatures are rising suddenly. The fireplace has to be filled with less fuel and operated with a
more open position of the air flap, so that the fuel can burn down faster (with visible flames) and thus
the chimney draught can stabilise. In order to avoid a drag in the fire bed, please remove the ashes
frequently.
14. Operation with open door
An operation of the insert with open doors is not permitted. Bad combustion, smoke emissions and
fire hazard!
15. Heating with ceramic heat exchanger
If your fireplace is installed with a ceramic or metallic heat exchanger, please mind the
following advice during heating:
The deflection of the flue gases across the heat exchanger may follow soonest after
•
15 minutes after the first firing. Otherwise there is a danger of uncontrolled flue gas
escape above the door frame.
•
During the operation across the heat exchanger, the insert door MUST NOT be
opened (flue gas escape).
For putting more wood into the combustion chamber, please open the deflector first,
•
only then you can open the insert door
16. Cleaning
•
Remove the ashes from the combustion chamber regularly and in time, also empty the ash box if
applicable (accessory).
If the ashes are not being taken out regularly there is a danger of the combustion air inlets getting
•
blocked and thus the insert gets damaged.
•
The fireplace may be cleaned only in a cooled down state!
•
The insert and the flue gas piping must be cleaned on demand or at least once a year. Thus an
economic and trouble-free operation can be guaranteed. Ceramic or metallic flue gas ducts shall be
cleaned through their provided cleaning apertures. The necessary works shall be executed by the
stove builder or another professional company. We recommend agreeing upon a maintenance
contract.
•
Please also have your chimney cleaned regularly by your local chimney sweep. He will inform you
about the necessary cleaning intervals.
•
Fireplace benches and flooring should be protected before glass cleaning or applying any glass
cleanser.
