2.7 W HAT HAPPENS WHEN WOOD BURNS
Burning or combustion is a rapid oxidation of substances forming flames. When wood
burns, the oxygen in the air combines with the carbon and hydrogen in the wood. In
the process, energy is released in the form of heat and light. In the ideal case the
products of complete combustion are only carbon dioxide, ashes (formed primarily of
the wood's mineral constituents), and water.
The combustion process on firewood can be divided roughly into three phases.
Heating and drying – In this first phase the water and other volatile substances
stored in the fi ewood evaporate.
Pyrolysis – In this second phase the firewood decomposes at temperatures
from about 150 °C.
Actual combustion – In this third phase the gases formed in the first two phases re-
act with additional oxygen from the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and water.
Also any remaining charcoal burns completely with time in the combustion zone.
Only ashes remain as the single residue of combustion. Each phase of combustion
can be observed very easily on an open fi e.
3. APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATIONS
3.1 APPROVAL
Standard for slow heat release appli-
ances fi ed by solid fuel: DIN EN 15250
operation independent of indoor air
DIBt Z-43.12-383
3.2 Multiple connection
SELF-CLOSING FIRING
CHAMBER DOOR
The Tonwerk storage heating stove is fit
ted as standard with a self closing firing
chamber door. This is an important opera-
ting and safety element. The door closes
automatically as soon as it is released.
Consequently the Tonwerk storage he-
ating stove is suitable for connection to
flues with multiple installations (several
stoves connected to the same flue).
3.3 CE CONFORMITY
The manufacturer, Tonwerk Lausen AG,
confirms that the Tonwerk storage he-
ating stove conforms to the stan dards
under EN 15250 and that the quality
requirements are constantly monito-
red.
3.4 OPERATION
INDEPENDENT OF
INDOOR AIR
Operating your stove independently
of indoor air requires a direct exter-
nal supply of air to the air nozzle in
the base of the stove. The connec-
tors must be airtight. Your Tonwerk
storage heating stove is designed for
operation at an air/gas flue or with a
separate combustion air line ( FC61X ).
Check
regularly
that
chamber door closes properly and the
air and gas ways are tight.
Room sealed appliances and multiple
connection of the flue
For air independent operation with
domestic ventilation is an multiple
connection of the flue only allowed
inside the same living unit.
3.5 RATINGS PLATE
The type plate is found on the left in-
ner side of the housing.

4. FIRE PROTECTION
The national and European
standards, the local and building
legislation, and the fi e safety terms
and conditions must be observed
without condition.

4.1 IN-FLUE DRAUGHT
the
firing
It is advisable to install a draught
regulator to guarantee a constant
flue draught.
Burning wood is a
proactive contribution
to climate protection!
A fire needs three
things: fuel, oxygen,
and heat.
