FIRE LIGHTING
To reduce the emission of pollutants as far as possible, we
ask you to observe the following instructions for the sake
of the environment.
1.
If the stove and chimney are still cold or if there is
atmospheric low pressure, we recommend burning some
paper initially to remove the cold from the stove and
chimney.
2.
To light the fire, place uncoated paper at the bottom of the
combustion chamber, then 0.5 kg softwood chippings and
1 kg wood (3 small logs). Turn the regulator knob to the
right to fire lighting setting; primary and secondary air are
completely open. (See "Regulator knob" see page 14)
Please do not use glossy paper or paper from
magazines. It does not burn well and the printing inks
create highly toxic substances in the flue gas.
3.
Only use paper for fire lighting. Wait until the softwood
chippings are burning well.
Turn the regulator knob 90° to the left some minutes later.
The primary air is now closed and the secondary air
completely open. Set the regulator knob to the ideal setting
some minutes later; (see "Regulator knob" page 14)
4.
After burn-off, place approx. 1.2 kg wood (2 logs) on the
fire. Open the riddle grate and the primary air until the
wood burns well.
Proceed in the same way every time you place more
wood on the fire.
NOTE:
If a lot of smoke develops when wood is placed on a
low firebed and if the riddle grate and primary air are
only opened then, a explosive gas/air mixture may
arise and cause a deflagration. It is recommended for
safety reasons to start fire lighting again.
5.
The mineral content of the wood (approx. 1 %) remains at
the bottom of the combustion chamber as the residue. This
is an excellent fertiliser for all plants in the garden; it is a
completely natural product.
The ash should be stored first and extinguished with water.
