1.3 Observe the formation of flue gas (atmospheric inver-
sion) and draughts when the weather is unfavourable.
Infeed of too little combustion air can lead to smoke in
the rooms or to flue gas leaks. Hazardous deposits in
the stove and chimney may also occur.
If flue gas escapes, let the fire burn out and check
whether all the air inlet openings are free and the flue
gas pipes and the stove pipe are clean. If in doubt no-
tify the master chimney sweep since draught malfunc-
tions may be connected to your chimney.
1.4 Push the embers together to form a firebed when you
add new fuel.
1.5 Only use suitable tools when handling embers and
make sure that no embers fall out of the combustion
chamber onto inflammable material.
1.6 Use the equipment supplied to open the doors of your
stove, e.g. heat-resistant gloves.
Stoves type 1 (BA 1):
1.7
These may only be operated with the combustion
chamber door closed.
1.8
The combustion chamber door may only be
opened to add fuel and must then be closed again
otherwise other firing installations connected to the
chimney may be endangered.
1.8.1
The combustion chamber door is to be kept closed
when the stove is not in operation.
1.9
Fouling of the chimney i.e. deposits of highly
inflammable materials such as soot and tar and
subsequently fire in the chimney may occur if wet
fuel is used and operation is damped too much.
If this occurs phone the fire brigade and get your-
self and other residents out of harm's way.
If this occurs phone the fire brigade and get your-
self and other residents out of harm's way.
Note: The size of the combustion chamber door makes
it necessary, particularly with post-heating when
ablaze, not to open the door too abruptly to prevent
the tips of the flames reaching out.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION RELATING
TO AMBIENT AIR-DEPENDENT AND AM-
BIENT AIR-INDEPENDENT OPERATION:
(Effective for Germany. Dated September 2002)
The Fox II woodburning stove (without self-locking
door)
is tested in accordance with EN 13240 as an ambient air-
dependent stove. This stove either extracts its entire com-
bustion air requirements from the room in which it is in-
stalled via the central air intake duct at the rear of the
stove or via an external air supply line.
The Fox II woodburning stove (with self-locking door)
Thanks to the tight configuration of the air supply line and
flue pipes the FC41x (for the LAS system) and FC51x
models comply with the approval principles for the inspec-
tion and evaluation of ambient air-independent fireplaces
for solid fuel specified by the Deutsches Institut für Bau-
technik (DIBT) (German Institute for Building Technology)
and the draft standard "Requirements for testing ambient
air-independence, Part 1: Room heaters" of the FNH
standards committee (dated February 2004). An applica-
tion has been filed for the general technical approval from
the DIBT as an ambient air-independent stove.
When combined with ventilation and air conditioning sys-
tems (e.g. controlled ventilation and aeration systems,
fume hoods, etc.) section 4 of the Firing Ordinance
(FeuVO) is applicable in Germany. A tight (i.e. ambient air-
independent) connection/operating mode (see point 2) is to
be ensured here or the stove is to be operated in an ambi-
ent air-dependent manner and secured to the ventilation
and air conditioning system or a ventilation system which
is approved for solid fuel firing systems and is able to
supply the installation area with the required level of com-
bustion air (approx. 20 m³3/h) is to be installed.
Please ensure you comply with the applicable local rules
and regulations in consultation with your district master
chimney sweep. We cannot assume any liability for modifi-
cations made after the publication of this information. We
reserve the right to make alterations.
