Description
▪ The stove is a fireplace stove for temporary burning as per EN 16510-2-1:2022,
Type BE.
▪ The iQ technology is a combustion air control for room heaters for solid fuels
EN 16510-2-1:2022.
▪ The firebricks (Fig. 1, No. 6) are made from vermiculite
(fireproof mineral).
▪ The firebox door (Fig. 1, No. 19) of the stove is self-closing, i.e. the firebox door
handle (Fig. 1, No. 18) must be held when opening the firebox door (e.g. when
adding fuel).
▪ When the firebox door handle is released, it will close and catch in
the door latch (Fig. 1, No. 5) and automatically seal the firebox.
▪ The iQ technology (Fig. 1, No. 9-10; 12; 14, 20) automatically
controls the optimal combustion air setting and firebox
temperature to ensure complete, low-emission combustion.
▪ The stove consists of a steel body (Fig. 1, No. 21) and depending
on the model with steel, ceramic or soapstone cladding to increase
thermal storage.
▪ The stove can be levelled with the adjusting screws (Fig. 1, No. 13)
to compensate for uneven installation sites.
▪ The ash drawer (Fig. 1, No. 8) collects ashes and must be emptied
regularly. (see chapter "7.3.3 Cleaning the ash drawer and fire grate")
▪ The control elements, ash drawer and control panel can
be accessed via the service door (Fig. 1, No. 23).
▪ The control panel (Fig. 1, Pos.12) is used to switch the controller on
and off.
▪ The type label (Fig. 1, No. 16) is located on the inside of the
service door.
▪ The mains plug and the USB-C cable (Fig. 1, No. 15) connect
the iQ technology to the mains.
3 Fuels
3.1
Permissible fuels
Stoves may only be used to burn low-smoke fuels. In the case of your stove this
is untreated pieces of wood, including attached bark, in form of split logs.
You may also burn wood briquettes as per DIN EN ISO 17225 or equivalent quality.
Please note, wood briquettes swell during combustion.
Reduce the amount of fuel based on the fuel value of the wood briquet-
tes by approx. 10 - 20 % compared to the amount of split logs.
BASILIA iQ:
Burning wood (use recommended fuels):
Split logs (I) with a residual moisture content of 12 - 20 % and wood briquettes (K).
WARNING: UNAUTHORIZED FUELS
Improper use of fuels (petrol, spirits or other burning liquids) can cause damage to
your stove and burns due to jet flames:
► Never use spirits, gasoline or other flammable liquids.
► Only use recommended fuels.
► Do not use any other fuels than specified in the operating instructions.
3.2
Storage and drying
INFO: STORAGE AND DRYING
Fresh split wood takes time to dry. When stored correctly, it takes 2-3 years until it is
air dried:
► saw up and split wood ready for use. The wood will then dry
faster.
► Small logs dry faster than large pieces.
► Stack logs in a ventilated, sunny location (ideally southern
exposure), protected from the rain.
► Leave approx. 3 cm between the individual stacks of wood to
improve air circulation.
► Do not cover stacks of wood with plastic foil or tarpaulins,
as these do not allow moisture to escape.
► Only store dried wood in dry, well-ventilated cellar rooms.
3.3
Complete combustion, incomplete combustion
Wood primarily consists of the elements carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. It contains
practically no environmentally critical substances such as sulphur, chlorine and heavy
metals.
Complete combustion of wood therefore primarily produces carbon dioxide and water
vapour as gaseous substances and a small amount of wood ash as the solid combustion
residue.
Incomplete combustion on the other hand produces a number of polluting substances,
e.g. carbon monoxide, acetic acid, phenols, methanol, formaldehyde, soot and tar.
To ensure clean burning, the required temperature must be achieved and sufficient at-
mospheric oxygen must be available in all reaction areas of the firebox.
