If, 15 minutes after ignition, there is still kickback of smoke gases due to poor atmospheric conditions (e.g.
windless or foggy weather), the ignition should be stopped until there is an improvement in the weather.
Sometimes smoke kickback has another cause than poor ventilation. Maybe the wood species causes strong
smoke formation. The duct then cannot process the amount of flue gases. Or perhaps you are firing the right
wood, but there is a narrowing of the pipe or the flue. If you are unsure about the cause, please do not
hesitate to contact your dealer.
Heating with firewood
In order to ensure that the appliance reaches the desired temperature quickly and therefore releases few
harmful substances, the following combustion method must be used after its creation:
1.
Place 2 to 3 logs in the combustion chamber.
2.
Leave the air supply fully open for a few minutes until the fire burns well.
3.
Leave the stove to heat up until a glowing bed is formed. The door can now be completely closed.
4.
Adjust the air slide under the door in such a way that the combustion rate is regulated.
5.
If the flame, cut out in the air slide, is equal to the front of the door, the stove will burn at its nominal
combustion rate.
6.
If you overload the stove and it is likely to overheat as a result, close the air supply completely.
If the oxygen supply to the fire is restricted too much, combustion is incomplete and many harmful substances
are released. To avoid the negative consequences of this (e.g. soot and tar formation), the best way is to
keep the stove burning at full capacity for half an hour each time you use it.
Also avoid adding too much fuel. As a result, too much heat is released and the temperature in the stove
may rise too high.
Tips for burning :
• Never load with solid and/or liquid fuels other than dry wood.
• If the ash bed becomes too full after a while - you should scoop out the ash
• The interior of the combustion chamber can be damaged by overloading the stove.
