Room Ventilation; First Usage - RAIS/attika Q-BE Manuel D'utilisateur

English RAIS/ - User manual for Q-BE
Tertiary air at the back of the burning chamber at the top (2 rows of holes) ensures the
combustion of the final gas residues.
The pilot nozzles are placed in the back plate and front of the combustion chamber. They
ensure that the bed of glowing embers is fed with air and therefore holds a high tempera-
ture. It provides a quick start when refuelling and reduces the risk of fire going out.
CleverAIR™ ensures an optimal air mixture and a clean combustion at any burning phase.
Due to the bi-metal regulated burning automation an incorrect operation is excluded.

Room ventilation

There must not be an extractor fan fitted in the same room as the stove as this can cause
the stove to emit smoke and fumes into the room.
The stove requires a permanent and adequate air supply in order for it to operate safely
and efficiently.
In accordance with current Building Regulations the installer may have fitted a permanent
air supply vent into the room in which the stove is installed to provide combustion air. This
air vent should not under any circumstances be shut off or sealed.

First usage

A careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get
accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is avoided.
Be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from
the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materi-
als need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation
and draught, if possible. See also, the IMPORTANT warning notice below about persistent
fumes.
During this process you must be careful not to touch the visible surfaces/glass (very hot!),
and it is recommended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent the door
seal from sticking.
The stove may also produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling, caused by the
large temperature differences which the material is subjected to.
Never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. There is a danger of
explosion.
The stove gets very hot when in use always wear protective gloves when tending the
stove.
If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for the
first time.
