1.3 Putting out of operation
Let the glowing ember burn to ashes and the fire-place get cold.
•
Empty the furnace chamber and the ash bin.
•
Close the doors and push the primary air regulator totally to the right.

1.4 Heating instructions
The fireplace should be operated only with closed furnace chamber door. Fireplaces
belonging to type 1 have self-locking furnace chamber doors. These doors may be
opened only for kindling, loading or when cleaning the furnace chamber (otherwise
draught problems may occur with other equipment connected to the same chimney).
When opening the furnace chamber door, any incorrect handling or insufficient
draught may induce smoke. Always ensure that the furnace chamber door may
be opened only slowly, first just to a small extent, and then fully after a few sec-
onds. In addition, if you intend to put additional fuel into the fire, before the open-
ing of the door only there may be only ember bed in the burning space, i.e., no
flames may be visible.
Led into the burning space in correspondence with the existing conditions, the second-
ary air provides for the follow-up burning of the combustible components of in the burn-
ing space. This in fact means smoke and soot-poor burning, which contributes to the
protection of the environment. If you wish to commission the fireplace in a transitional
period, please, please first examine the chimney draught, as it can be especially weak
at high external temperatures. Towards this end, hold a burning match in the slightly
opened feeding door. If the flame is not drawn significantly by the draught, then a so-
called starting fire is to be set first. Towards this end, burn wood chips/wool in the fire-
place or the cleaning hole of the chimney. The fire grate is to be cleaned before every
kindling to ensure the proper inflow of air for burning. The ashtray is to be emptied
regularly. Should the equipment be extremely hot, use the gloves provided. Please, be
careful not to dispose glowing materials into the waste bin.
Ensure that the ashtray should be fully pushed into the equipment.
Warning! In order to keep the air clean and safeguard the fireplace, do not exceed
the specified maximum fuel quantity, otherwise overheating may occur, which
potentially damage the equipment. Such damage is not covered with any guaran-
tee. Only a single layer of fuel is allowable to be prepared in the fireplace. Try to
reach lower heating performance only by decreasing the quantity of fuel, and not
by cutting the primary air supply.
1.5 Cleaning and maintenance
After the heating season, it is recommended to clean the fireplace and the flue gas
pipes carefully. Any dropping heating performance is almost always the consequence
of the strong contamination of the flues. For cleaning, the grate and
walling are to be pulled out. This way, the flues can be cleaned from the inside or –
after removing the flue gas pipe – from above. After cleaning, you must this be back
fully mounting.
Warning!
