6. BRIEF INFORMATION ON COMBUSTIBLE - LOGS

Suitable fuels and fuel amounts

Your stove is generally suitable for burning dry rewood. You can also burn
combustibles such as wood briquettes.
Note
A stove is not a waste incinerator. The warranty lapses if waste or non-
approved materials such as plastic, treated wood (chipboard), coals or
clothes are burnt! This leads to damage to the stove and chimney and to
environmental pollution!
Note
FUEL AMOUNTS
The stove is tted with a construction-speci c at rebox. This means only
one layer of logs may be laid on the base embers.
Please observe that adding greater quantities of logs leads to emission of high
temperatures, higher than the stove is designed for. This may cause damage
to your stove. This is re ected in particular on the glass of the combustion
chamber door, which will get a gray haze in case of overheating the stove,
which can not be removed.

Wood types

Di erent types of wood have di erent calori c values. Wood from deciduous
trees is particularly suitable. It burns with a constant ame and forms long-
lasting embers. Coniferous wood has higher levels of resin and burns o faster
as do all softwoods and tends to spray sparks.

Output controlling

The output of your stove is regulated manually or via the Rikatronic-control.
Please observe that the output of your stove also depends on the chimney
draught and the amount of fuel added.

Clean combustion

1. The rewood must be dry and untreated.
The should-be value is between 14% and 18% relative wood moisture.
Wood has to be stored dry and ventilated for 2 3 years.
2. Correct rewood amount and size:
Too much rewood leads to overheating. This can damage your stove and
Q
increases the exhaust emission values.
If you take too little rewood or if the logs you place are too large the stove
Q
will not reach the optimum operating temperature. The ue gas values also
increase in this case.
