1.0 USER INSTRUCTIONS
1.1 - Welcome
Thank you for your decision to buy an Olsberg Stove. The crackling, visible flames give you the sense of
comfort and security. The combination of hot-air heating and heat radiation provides a pleasant and healthy
climate in any room.
The combined use of modern heating technology, excellent quality of materials and effective heat exchange,
results in high efficiency and economical operation.
Furthermore, the fire flaming in your Olsberg stove creates an intimate atmosphere for your family and friends.
Use of excellent raw materials assures you will have a long-lasting pleasant experience. It is important that
you contribute to the care of your new stove by carefully reading this manual and following the instructions.
In spite of the finest quality materials and workmanship, false fitting or misconnecting, overloading of the
appliance or use of unsuitable fuel can cause damage to the appliance itself or to the connecting pipe and
chimney.
1.2 - General
The Fire Plus System of your Olsberg stove provides optimal, environmentally friendly burning and combined
with and an effective heat exchange system creates high efficiency.
After loading and lighting the fuel, the first phase of the combustion process starts by proceeding to burn
the gases leaving the fuel. This is the known as the "high flames" period. After the flames reduce, the rest of
the fuel burns up in the second phase of the combustion process. This process is characterized by strongly
glowing embers with no or only smaller, temporary flames.
Optimal and environmentally friendly burning with high efficiency can only be achieved if the necessary
quantity of air at the appropriate places in all phases of the combustion process. Both the longer time spent
in the combustion chamber by gases mixed with air and the hot combustion chamber have a positive effect
on the combustion process.
Wood is a fuel of "high flame". At this height above the glowing embers, secondary and tertiary air get inside
in such a way that mixing of the air and gases and the time that gases spend in the combustion chamber
results in good burning. The excellent quality lining (chamotte/vermiculite) of the combustion chamber,
provides high temperature, helping the process.
Afterwards, the gases are lead through one or more dead plates in the upper part of the stove, namely
through a heat exchange system, that consists of a pipe system where heat is transmitted again. Gases
finally leave the stove through the connecting pipe. The remaining energy content of the gases provides
the necessary feed pressure in the chimney, "motor of the stove". This is the operating principle of Olsberg
stoves.
Stoves are not structurally suitable for non stop use. Only a relatively small amount of fuel can be loaded in
the combustion chamber at any time. More information about quantities of fuels loadable for one occasion
is given in the technical data sheet section.
