EVO 100-50 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME GENERAL Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dust such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the appliance or suddenly opening the door.
Page 14
EVO 100-50 • Check whether the retardant plate (brake plate) is located correctly in the supports. • Check whether the ashtray is completely empty. • Report any defects immediately to your dealer. • Remove enclosed documents and components from the appliance.
EVO 100-50 VENTILATION If wood is to burn, it needs air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the appliance (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed. That means about 50 m per hour! Depending on how the appliance has been installed, the combustion air will either be drawn directly from outside or from the living room itself.
Page 16
EVO 100-50 Note: Once you have got the appliance going, leave the air supply slider in the centre position for optimal combustion. Your appliance will then be much cleaner and more effi cient (more heat, less topping up). We recommend that you maintain a substantial layer of ash (2 - 3 cm). This not only forms a protective layer for the base of the appliance but also signifi...

EVO 100-50 Increasing the draught in the appliance If the fl ue has too much resistance, so that the exhaust gases are not properly disposed of, one can increase the draught in the appliance, by the upper brake plates slide towards each other.
Page 18
EVO 100-50 HEATING ECONOMICALLY The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is to have your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange and should not glow like a blacksmith’s fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.
Page 19
EVO 100-50 5.6 GENERAL HEATING TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
Page 20
EVO 100-50 5.7 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss through insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.
If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.
Page 22
EVO 100-50 If there is insuffi cient burning material in the fi rebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a suffi cient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period.
EVO 100-50 DOOR MOTOR Should a power cut occur, then the electric lift door control will no longer operate. To be able to continue using the appliance it is necessary that the drive motor be disconnected from the lift door.
Page 24
EVO 100-50 The motor can now be slid to the right, up to the stop. Keep the door from closing with the emergency grip to prevent sudden upward movement. The lift door can now be operated by hooking the emergency grip in the lugs on the left or right at the bottom of the door.

EVO 100-50 MAINTENANCE • Emptying the ashtray • Regularly check how much ash is in the ashtray. • Make sure the ashtray is never more than ¾ full. If the ashtray is more than ¾ full, it can obstruct the fl ow of air to the appliance.
Page 26
EVO 100-50 • Paint Check annually, if necessary touch up with BARBAS heat-resistant paint (do not paint when the appliance is in use!) • Parts Individual parts for replacement/accessories are available from your BARBAS dealer. Use only original parts. • Modifi cations Introduced modifi...
EVO 100-50 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How often should I have my chimney swept? At least once a year. If you use your appliance more than three times a week on average, have your chimney swept more often. Have the chimney swept by a recognised company.

EVO 100-50 There may be too much of a draught in your chimney, particularly if it is very high (in excess of 8 m). Ask your supplier to fi t a check valve or damper. This may not be possible in all cases.

EVO 100-50 What happens when wood is burnt? The combustion process. The combustion of wood involves the following steps: Drying The fi rst step is that the fuel (wood) dries out. Even at low temperatures (~ 100°C), any moisture still in the wood will evaporate. This drying procedure implies a signifi cant loss of energy if wood which is ‘too’...
