the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.

Removing ash

A relatively large amount of ash is left over after burn-
ing brown coal briquettes and anthracite coal.
Remove the excess ash regularly.
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulating layer
for the stove base plate and improves combustion. It
is a good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a cast-iron inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
The ash should never reach the bottom of the grate.
This will cause the grate to overheat and be damaged.
1. Use the "cold hand" provided to manipulate the rid-
dling grate (TAI M).
2. Open the ash door.
3. Use the poker provided to break up the ashes
through the access openings above the grate.
4. Remove the ash pan using the "cold hand"
provided and empty the ash pan; see next figure.

5. Install the ash pan and close the ash door of the
appliance.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

any problems in using the appliance.
