BOX 55 USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME GENERAL Allow your home to dry properly, after you have had your chimney breast modifi ed or newly built. Walls which have not been allowed to dry properly are a magnet for dus t such as any smoke particles created when stoking up the appliance or suddenly opening the door.
Page 13
BOX 55 4.3 INSPECTION OF THE APPLIANCE BEFORE FIRST USE Check all available functions before using the appliance for the fi rst time . • Check the opening and closing operation of the door. Turn the handle all the way down: Door is locked.
Page 14
BOX 55 • Check whether the 2 baffl e plates are located correctly in the supports. • Check the operation of the slider for the regulation of the combustion air intake (middle be low the window) . • Check whether the ashtray is completely empty.
BOX 55 5.1 VENTILATION If wood is to burn, it needs air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the appliance (door closed), 10 - 15 m of extra air is needed. That means about 35 m per hour! Depending on how the appliance has been installed, the combustion air will either be drawn directly from outside or from the living room itself.
Page 16
BOX 55 5.3 INSTRUCTIONS WHILE STOKING Using the air supply slider you can adjust the air supply for further combustion. Make sure the appliance burns quietly. Note: Once you have got the appliance going, leave the air supply slider in the centre position for optimal combustion.

BOX 55 Control range of primary air supply (by grate) Control range of secondary and tertiary air supply Combustion air supply slider Centre position We recommend that you maintain a substantial layer of ash (2 - 3 cm). This not only forms a protective layer for the base of the appliance but also signifi...

BOX 55 Ventilation When using the appliance, ensure a good supply of fresh air, particularly if the combus- tion air is drawn from the room itself. Turn on the fl ue gas fan if the fl ue is fi tted with one.
Page 19
BOX 55 INCREASE THE FLUE DRAUGHT If there is too much fl ow resistance in the chimney, causing insuffi cent fl ow of of the fl ue gasses, one can in crease the chimney draught. To do this, remove the upper baffl e from the appliance and detach the back part of the baffl e by moving this part back and fort h until it breaks.

BOX 55 5.7 GENERAL HEATING TIPS • Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classifi ed as dry if it has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
Page 21
BOX 55 5.8 OUTPUT In practice, combustion is all about loss. This entails: • Loss through excess heat leaving the chimney, rather than going into the room. • Loss th rough insuffi cient combustion, such as CO (carbon monoxide) and soot particles.
If this happens, there is a risk of fi re. It may also damage your appliance and chimney. BARBAS will not assume liability for damage caused by overheating. Burning one layer of wood can lead to varying outputs. When used correctly, one load will burn in around 45 minutes.

BOX 55 MAINTENANCE • Emptying the ashtray • Regularly check how much ash is in the ashtray. • Make sure the ashtray is never more than ¾ full. If the ashtray is more than ¾ full, it can obstruc t the fl...

BOX 55 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How often should I have my chimney swept? At least once a year. If you use your appliance more than three times a week on average, have your chimney swept more often. Have the chimney swept by a recognised company.

Can a wood-burning appliance/fi replace insert be connected to a central heating installation? The Barbas range does not have any appliances that can be connected to central heating installations. We do not advise attempting it!! How do I know if I’m heating correctly? Follow the instructions in this manual.
Page 28
BOX 55 Can I leave my appliance unattended? Only do this when the appliance is burning quietly, with just a little wood, with a closed door and with the combustion air supply slider in the centre position between “ + ” and “...

BOX 55 Decomposition At moderate - high temperatures (150°C - 350°C), the decomposition process can be discerned. This is when the chemical structure of the fuel breaks down. This process involves the creation of volatile compounds such as carbon monoxide (CO), water vapour (H O) and methane (CH ).
