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 cov-
ered 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 in-
creased condensate and tar formation can lead to
fireplace and chimney sooting.
This diagram shows that the consumption rate with
fresh- ly-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).

dry wood that has been stored for at least 2 years
You will only achieve optimum combustion and heat
in an environmentally friendly way with these fuels.
Adding the fuel in small quantities avoids unneces-
sary emissions. Clean burning can be identified by
the fact that the fire-brick becomes a light colour.
● 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
combus- tion chamber.
● The odour given off by the evaporation of the
protective 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
● Stack small amounts of firewood and, on top of it,
kin- dling material (igniter cubes and dry, smaller
kindling) and set the material alight.
● Close the door to the combustion chamber so
that the kindling material can catch fire.
● Once there is a basic firebed, add more fuel ac-
cording to the heat requirement (see chapter "Heat-
ing").
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 devic-
es/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.
