Operation

Permissible fuels

The following fuels are approved:
 Natural shopped wood in the form of billet wood
Maximum length: .............................................. 33 cm
Circumference ...................................... approx. 30 cm
 Wood briquettes to DIN EN 14691
Size class HP 2
Maximum length: .............................................. 20 cm
Billet wood reaches a moisture content of 10 to 15%
after being stored outdoors for 2 to 3 years (only covered
at the top) and is then ideally suited for heating.
Freshly cut wood has a very high moisture content
and so burns badly. Apart from the very low calorific
value it is also harmful for the environment. The
increased condensate and tar formation can lead to
fireplace and chimney sooting.
This diagram shows that the consumption rate with
freshly-felled wood (calorific value 2.3 kWh/kg) is almost
twice as high as the consumption rate with dry wood
(calorific value 4.3 kWh/kg).
You will only achieve optimum combustion and heat in
an environmentally friendly way with these fuels. Adding
the fuel in small quantities avoids unnecessary
emissions. Clean burning can be identified by the fact
that the firebrick becomes a light colour.
According to the German Federal Immission Control Act,
it is forbidden e.g. to burn the following fuels in stoves:
 Moist wood or wood treated with wood
preservatives
 Sawdust, chippings, grinding dust
 Bark and chipboard waste
 Slack coal
 Other wastes
 Paper and cardboard (except for igniting)
 Straw

Please note before heating for the first time

 Remove all accessories from the ash pan and
combustion chamber.
 The odour given off by the evaporation of the protec-
tive coating disappears after the stove has been
burning for several hours (ventilate the room well).
 The stove has a high quality temperature resistant
coat, which does not achieve its final strength until the
stove has been heated for the first time. You should
therefore never leave anything on the stove and not
touch the surfaces as the paint coat could otherwise
be damaged.
 As soon as the kindling material has burned down,
put on 2 burnouts consisting of 3 kg wood ensuring
that the temperature resistant coating reaches its final
firmness.

Igniting

 Before ignition, check that no flammable objects are
placed on the stove.
 Empty the ash pan if necessary and slide back in.
 Open the combustion air slide valve complete.
 Grate in open position = operating lever pulled out.
 Place the ignition material (ignition cubes and dry,
smaller ignition wood) and ignite it.
 Close the door to the combustion chamber so that the
kindling material can catch fire.
 As soon as the igniting material is burning, add a
quantity of fuel corresponding with the required heat
(see chapter "heating").
Caution:
When heating up the fireplace, difficulties in igniting the
firewood can occur if a flue draught has not yet formed in
the chimney, and ventilation devices/systems are
operated at the same time. In this case briefly opening a
window in the installation room or temporarily switching
off the ventilation system can help.
