4. 6. Chimney fire
In the event of a chimney fire, it is necessary to immediately put out the fire in the stove by removing the remaining burning fuel using a shovel into a suitable non-
SK
-combustible container and immediately call the fire service (line 150) or line 112 of the integrated emergency system.
4. 7. Outside combustion air supply
PL
It is necessary to supply a sufficient amount of fresh air for the combustion process. When burning wood, the wood stove will consume up to 15 m3 of fresh air per
hour. The insulation of modern buildings from the outside environment may be very high (plastic windows, etc.). Further problems may be caused by range hoods
DE
and other heating appliances that work in the room or in the area where the stove is located. The Masterflamme wood stove is equipped with an outside air supply
as standard, i.e. you can connect combustion air directly from the outside.

5. 1. Putting a Masterflamme wood stove into operation for the first time
Before putting into operation for the first time, it is necessary to remove any stickers from the glass on the door, from ash pan accessories, as well as from the
firebox; this also applies to any transportation protective elements. A heat-resisting surface coat is used on the wood stoves, which hardens after the stove is lit for
the first time, after temporarily becoming soft. In the first stage of softening, take special care to avoid damaging the paint coat with your hand or another object.
When the stove is lit for the first time, it needs to be „broken in" using a small flame with a smaller fuel load at a lower temperature. All the materials must become
accustomed to the thermal stress. By starting the fire carefully, you will prevent damage to the paint coat and deformation of the structural materials of the stove.
An odour may be emitted while the paint is hardening and it will stop shortly – we recommend that you intensively ventilate the area, ideally by a cross-draught. If
household pets are in this area, temporarily move them elsewhere.
5. 2. Lighting and heating
To make lighting easier, first place 2 to 3 smaller wooden logs on the bottom of the firebox (grate), then paper or approved fire starters on top of them and then
twigs or wood splinters (kindling), small wood and then larger logs. Add a larger amount of fuel (under the tertiary air inlet).
Loading a larger amount of fuel will ensure a sufficient burning time for heating up the chimney and thus ensure its proper function. Open the air supply regulator
fully. After lighting the fire, the door of the firebox must be closed. As soon as the fuel starts burning well, use the air supply regulator to set a gentle, rather
dampened burn.
Ash is removed from the grate manually using a poker as necessary.
Attention: Check that the grate is not clogged; use a poker to sweep away excess ash.
Attention: The door of the firebox (combustion chamber) must always be closed except when putting it into operation, adding fuel and removing ash.
Attention: After every longer interruption to the operation of the stove, it is necessary to check the passage and cleanliness of the smoke flue pipes, the chimney
and the combustion area of the stove.
5. 3. Regulating air supply
5. 3. 1. Manual option
Manual regulation consists of an air control rod system, where the user regulates the external air supply damper by pushing and pulling an air control rod in and
out. When the air control rod is pulled out, the air supply is open. When the air control rod is pushed in, the air supply is closed.
5. 4. Adding fuel
To prevent smoke from escaping into the room when adding fuel, we recommend: approximately 5 to 10 seconds before opening the door of the stove, to fully
open the primary air regulator, then only slightly open up the door, wait a few seconds for the smoke to be sucked up into the chimney and only then fully open the
door. After opening the stove's door, it is always necessary to pay increased attention, there is a risk of glowing ambers falling out. After adding the fuel, close the
door again. Once the fuel starts burning (without a smoky flame), return the regulator again to the initial position (or close if necessary). When adding fuel, make
sure that the fuel does not extend above the level of the tertiary air inlet. The amount of added fuel should correspond to the nominal hourly consumption of the
given heating appliance (see technical sheet). Overheating may result in permanent damage to the stove.
Attention: Avoid excessive smoke leaking into the room during loading by adding fuel only once the previous load has burned down to a glowing bed of ambers.
5. 5. Window cleanliness
Window cleanliness is affected by the use of a suitable fuel, sufficient supply of combustion air, appropriate chimney draught and correct operation of the stove. In
this respect, we recommended that you add only one layer of fuel and in such a way that it is laid out as evenly as possible in the firebox and as far from the glass
as possible. This also applies to briquettes (distance between them of 2mm to 10mm). In the event that the glass is dirtied while heating, we recommend that the
intensity of the burn is increased by opening up the air regulator, which will usually clean the glass itself.
5. 6. Operation during a transition period and during poor climatic conditions
During the transition period between seasons or during higher outdoor temperatures above 15 °C, on rainy or humid days, during strong wind gusts, the draught
of the chimney may be negatively affected (draught of the stove) and the exhaust gases are not completely removed. For this reason, during this period the wood
stove must be operated with as little fuel as possible in order to be able to improve the burning of the fuel and the chimney draught by opening up the air supply.
5. 7. Ash removal
Depending on the length of the burn and its intensity, it is necessary to use the poker to knock the ash down through the grate into the ash pan. Make sure that the
ash pan is not overfilled as this could prevent air from being delivered under the grate resulting in subsequent lighting up and burning problems.
It is best to empty the ash pan when it has cooled down, ideally before lighting up the next load. The ash from burned wood can be put in the compost or used
as a fertilizer.
Attention: Before emptying out the ash pan, check that it does not contain any glowing ambers, which could result in a fire in the waste container.

6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

6. 1. Cleaning the wood stove
It is necessary, at least once per year (after the heating season) or more frequently if need be, to clean out the wood stove when it is cold. When cleaning, it is
necessary to remove the creosote from the smoke flue pipes, the combustion area and the draught deflecting dampers.
