Fuel Overloading; Refueling On To A Low Fire Bed; Environmental Use; Using Stove Under Various Weather Conditions - ILD 7 Manual

Refueling on to a low fire bed

If there is insufficient burning material in the fire bed to ignite a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refueling must be carried out onto a sufficient
quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite within a
reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed, add suitable kindling to
prevent excessive smoke.

Fuel overloading

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading
can cause excess smoke. Any part of the fuel cannot be placed in higher level than the
lower part of the metal piece in the backside of the burn chamber.

It is important to us, that our environment is considered in best possible way, it is an
advantage to all, and as a bonus, fuel is used, much better.
Air supply for the combustion is added through 2 valves which are controlled through 2
controls. The lower control handle is primary air, which is used for lighting a cold stove and
when firing dense wood, maximum air is added, when the control is in furthest right
position, when fire is established, gently close the primary control by sliding it towards left.
Ongoing control of the fire is done by the upper air control. It is more open when pushed to
the right, and restricted when pushed to the left. The fire should be run efficiently, and the
best indication of this is the color of the firebricks inside the firebox. If they are soothed
up, then the fire is burning too cold, and this should be addressed..
Also notice that fuels must be less than 20 cm. long and no more than 10 cm in diameter
the percentage of moisture must be lower than 18%.
Using your stove in various weather conditions
Wind blowing on the chimney can have a great effect on how your stove reacts in various
wind conditions; you may need to adjust the airflow to achieve good burning results.
Fitting a damper in the flue pipe may also help as it will give you the ability to regulate the
draught in changing wind conditions.
Fog can also have a great influence on how well a chimney draws; you may again need to
adjust the airflow settings to achieve good burning results.
