Can a wood-burning stove/fi replace insert be connected to a central
heating installation?
The Barbas range does not have any stoves/fi res that can be connected to
central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it!!
At what temperature does the convection fan cut in?
If the appliance is fi tted with a convection fan, this can be regulated using an
built-in dimmer with an integrated on-off switch.
The fan does not have any automatic regulation based on the appliance
temperature.
How do I know if I'm heating correctly?
Follow the instructions in this manual.
The fl ames should play softly across the wood and the wood should burn evenly.
Once the fi re has been burning for a short time, the smoke from the chimney
should be almost translucent.
What is wrong with a smoking chimney?
A seriously smoking chimney means that combustion is less than optimum.
There may be a number of reasons for this. If the fi re has only just caught on,
or has recently been topped up, some smoke is normal. By opening the door
for a short period, the wood will catch fi re quicker and the smoky period will be
shorter.
If you leave the fi re door open, and especially if you burn damp wood, the result
will be a lot of smoke. In both cases, the combustion temperature is too low. This
leaves numerous dangerous compounds intact, which means more deposits in
your chimney and more waste into the environment.
What should I do if the wood does not catch fi re?
This probably means that the wood is damp. Remove the wood and replace it
with dry wood. If necessary, make a fi re with wood briquettes. They are always
dry (they have a moisture content of <10%).
