Adding more fuel in the start-up phase
5.5.
• Add more fuel only on the bed of red embers (not on the flame).
• Place two pieces of split wood (about 0.75 kg each) parallel to the glass door on the bed of red
embers and close the door of the fireplace.
• When the refilled wood is burning with a bright flame, slide the air regulator inwards.
Adding fuel in the heating phase
5.5.1
• Pull out the air regulator.
• Place two pieces of split wood (about 0.75 kg each) parallel to the glass door on the bed of red
embers and close the door of the fireplace.
• When the refilled wood is burning with a bright flame, slide the air regulator inwards.
5.6. Overheating
WARNING
In order to avoid damage to the appliance due to overheating, there must not be exceeded the maximum
one- shot stoking amount of fuel (see specification of the appliance). It can bring about damage to fire clay,
grate, pile grating, formation of fissures in tiles, tinting of parts of the casing, heat accumulating bricks and
glass, deformation of metal sheet parts, destruction of sealing and of the glass board of the cover etc. All the
rights arising from the guarantee cease to exist.
5.7. Removal of ashes
After longer heating, but once a week at least, it is necessary to rake out ashes into the ash-pan by means of
a poker, and to empty the ash-pan. Please mind to empty the ash-pan meanwhile it is approximately half-full,
so that the layer of ashes may not touch the grate.
CAUTION
There is a danger that the circulation of air might be interrupted, and of insufficient cooling as the
consequence, which can bring about overheating and damage to the grate.
WARNING
Before removal of ashes, check always whether there are no remains of live fuel in the ashes. Even in cold
ashes, there may possibly remain rests of live fuel, and bring about fire in the waste bin.
6. Cleaning and servicing
• Once in a year at least, or more often in case of need, you should clean the fireplace stove in cold
state, and service it. During the servicing, it is necessary to remove accumulated ashes from the tube
of the smoke flue and from boards changing the smoke direction or from the return draft boards. The
return draft boards can be taken out for cleaning (see the specification of the appliance).
• Glass of the door: For ecological cleaning, we dip a wet dishcloth in wood ashes, and clean the
glass with it. Also, it is possible to employ special cleaning agents for the glasses of fireplace
stoves, or regular agents for cleaning of glass (without caustic acids and solvents).
• It is also necessary to have the chimney cleaned by a chimneysweep. The respective
chimneysweep will give you information of the necessary intervals.
Note
A fireplace stove ought to be checked by a professional every year.
