Heating

● Only place the quantity of fuel required to achieve the
heating requirement.
For a nominal heating output 5 kW:
- max. 1,5 kg billet wood; burning time >45 min
- max. 1,3 kg wood briquettes; burning time >45 min
For max. heat output allowed:
- max. 3 kg billet wood
- max. 3 kg wood briquettes
● Open the combustion chamber door slowly for add-
ing new fuel, as otherwise the combustion gases can
escape.
● Empty the ash pan or combustion chamber in good
time. Otherwise it is possible for the combustion air in-
take to be blocked or for the grate to be damaged.
● Only remove the ash pan to empty it.
● Clean the ash pan compartment regularly after remov-
ing the ash pan to remove any ash that may have been
spilled (e.g. use a vacuum cleaner).
Attention:
Any stove and ash residues must have been left to
cool before being removed.

Heating during the transition period

Prerequisite for the stove to function well is the correct
delivery pressure (chimney draught). This very much de-
pends on the external temperature. Therefore, if the exter-
nal temperatures are high (above 16°C) the delivery pres-
sure can be disrupted.
What to do?
● Open the combustion air slide valve complete.
● Only put on a small quantity of fuel.
● Frequently stoke the ash.

Cladding

● TThe cladding panels must not be exposed to excess
heat as they may otherwise develop cracks. It is possi-
ble that hairline cracks may form even during normal
operation, especially in fine lime plaster, on account of
the changes in temperature. These cracks are normal
and can be patched up as necessary by painting them
over or by whitewashing with another coat of fine lime
plaster.
● Do not heat with more than 3 kg of wood or wood
briquettes.
● The surface can change due to temperature.

Special information

The manufacturer's guarantee expires if the stove is sig-
nificantly or permanently overloaded above the nominal
heating output, or if fuels other than those listed are used.
● The stove must only be used with the combustion
chamber door shut.
● Never remove hot ashes. Only store ashes in a fireproof,
non-combustible container.
● Attention: The surfaces get hot! Always use the en-
closed glove when operating the stove.
● Convection air openings may not be covered.
● Never use white spirit, benzene or other inflammable,
hazardous materials to ignite the fire.
● The combustion air supply fittings must never be al-
tered. In particular, it must be ensured that any neces-
sary combustion air pies are open while the fireplace is
being used.
● Do not make any changes or modifications to the stove.
