Led into the burning space in correspondence with the existing conditions, the
secondary air provides for the follow-up burning of the combustible components of in
the burning 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 fireplace or the cleaning hole of the chimney.
The fire grate is to be cleaned (pic. 5) 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 or the tool provided (pic. 6). 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
guarantee. 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 baffle plate
is to be pulled forward. This way, the flues can be cleaned from the inside or – after
removing the flue gas pipe – from above. After cleaning, the baffle plate is be
pushed back fully again.
Warning!
Following every heating season you are advised to examine the fireplace thoroughly.
If any repair or reconditioning is needed, please, contact your local dealer in a timely
manner, and specify the model number and serial number of your equipment (as
seen on the model plate). External surfaces may be maintained only after the
fireplace cooled down, and following the first commissioning. Use cold water for
cleaning, or soap, washing ingredient in extraordinary cases, then wipe it dry. In
case there are sticky fuel deposits on these surfaces, first scale simply them with a
ceramic-plate scraper held in flat angle, and then clean the surfaces as described
above.
