tion and burdens the environment unnecessarily.
• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on. A crackling re has a minimum air consumption of 25
cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking hood when you have a stove burning in the same space.
• Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly any
draught in the cold chimney when the weather is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the chance
of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools quickly
and may descend and become a nuisance in your neighbourhood.
• Don't smother the re suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform
or crack as a result of sudden or great di erences in temperature.
• If you want to temper the re, rst close the valve in the ue tube and then close the air supply.

Chimney and ue

What to do in case of chimney re?
!
In case of chimney re, immediately close the shut-o valve in the chimney and all air supply ducts.
Call the re department. After the re is extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be inspected
again by your installer.
The chimney is the most important part of your wood-burning hearth.
When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane
or create bad combustion. Before starting the installation of the stove, your installer or a quali ed chimney
sweep must check whether the chimney ue has a diameter of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length,
and whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.
Chimney with a proper draught
!
Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of every chimney. It helps when the wind near the
chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.
Fall wind may give the opposite e ect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy
air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long ue pipe with a rough inside and many
bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor your installer can give you information about
using a ventilator for your ue tube.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

• It is advisable to leave an ash layer of about two to three centimetres, as this will protect the re plate.
• Remove the cooled ash from the ashpan two or three times a week. It is advisable to use an ash bucket. A
clean ashpan is important because the stove sucks in combustion air also via the ashpan.
• Clean the shaking grate inside the stove with a soft brush.
• Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give o
cleansing agents or abrasives.
• Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass
with your ngers. Finger marks may burn into the glass.
• Oil the hinges and the door fastener occasionally.
!
Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove.
