Nominal heat out-put is 7 KW, equivalent to the
operating air at about 75% open, new wood can
be added after approimatley 50 minutes.
Ensure when refueling that the wood is not too
close, it will cause poorer combustion, less heat
out-put and lower efficiency.

Vermiculite
(stone)
The fuel load, must be maintained below the top
series of air holes and within the outer vent in
each side. Fig. 5
When refueling be careful to place
the fuel into the combustion cham-
ber gently, (use the provided glo-
ve). By not doing so you risk crack-
ing or breaking the vermiculite.
If there is reduced draft in the chimney, we re-
commend opening a window at stoking. This will
give better ventilation to the room and more oxy-
gen for combustion.
1.6 Reduced burning
The stove is, designed for intermittent use.
It is important to maintain the layer of hot embers.
Lower heat out-put occurs when no flames come
from the tree, when it is becomes glowing charcoal.
If you are looking for less heat out-put, achieve
this by fueling with smaller volumes of wood and
a lower operating air. You may not completely
close the operating air during firing.
Be aware that the stove will naturally soot if the
operating air is too low. This is not good for the
environment. There is also a risk for the glass,
the chimney and other parts will become sooted.
By a combination of the above and possibly
burning damp wood. Can lead to high levels of
soot that it becomes sticky. Causing the sealing
of the door to tear off when opening the door
the next day.
1.7 Explosion!!!
Explosion can occur if filled with too much fuel
in the stove, the production of large volumes
of gas, which can explode if the air supply be-
comes too low.
1.8 Emptying the ash
Be careful not to damage the vermiculite when
Maximum
the removing the ash.
wood
filling
It is an advantage for the next firing to leave a
layer of ash lying in the bottom of the firebox.
Warning!
Children should avoid contact with the stove.
Setting up a fence if you have small children may
be necessary.
Do not place flammable objects like drying racks,
furniture, curtains too close to the stove.
1.9 Draft conditions
and the chimney
Poor draft will not allow the stove to burn, as it
should. The glass can soot, requires cleaning of
the chimney more often, smoke can escape out
when the door is open and it gives poor fuel ef-
ficiency. Leading to unnecessary polluting of the
environment.
Good draft will allow the stove to achieve op-
timal combustion and the highest possible ef-
ficiency. Heta wood stoves are constructed so
that it itself provides an optimal blend of com-
bustion air. This provides a high efficiency/heat,
clean glass and low environmental impact.
It is very important never to leave
The stove after start up or refueling,
before the fire is established.
(Typically 1 to 3 minutes)
Be careful when emptying the
ashes out. There can be hot embers
left for a long time.
One must always use cation around
the stove seen, as it gets very warm
during use. (In excess of 90° C).
