    The chimney and fireplace together form one unit. The fireplace can only function properly if the chimney and the fireplace are matched. The key factor is the length and diameter of the chimney. The flue should reach up at least 4.5m from the firebox base.

    Take special care to leave necessary combustion air ducts open when operating the fireplace and to make sure that air supply grilles are not easily closed. If any extractor hoods and fans that draw air are installed in the same room as the fireplace or in connected rooms, they can impair the function of the stove.

    If your fireplace has a swivel mechanism, you must also keep to the prescribed safety distances according to the table below at all times.

    Otherwise, the flooring (particularly parquet flooring) may be damaged. – Before using the fireplace for the first time, check that no foreign objects are in the firebox or the ash drawer. – All fireplaces become hot when lit. In particular, please do not touch the door or glass pane.

    On the third use, heat the stove for approx. 2 hours at maximum heat level (rated heat output + 2kW), so that the coating is burnt in completely.

    A risk of overheating can be ruled out as long as the maximum heat level is not exceeded and no unsuitable fuels are used.

    The minimum heat output is 2kW below the rated heat output (light load operation). If less wood is added, the fireplace will barely reach the necessary operating temperature, which can lead to incomplete combustion and the ceramic glass becoming soiled with soot.

    The heat level of your fireplace also depends on the draught of your chimney. It can be impaired by the diameter of the chimney or if the effective chimney height (the measurement between the fireboxbase and the upper edge of the chimney above the roof) is smaller than 4.5m.

    Expansion noises Please note that during the heating or cooling down of the fireplace, creaking or ticking noises may be heard. These are completely normal and occur when the materials expand due to the high differences in temperature. This expansion can involve several millimetres and can also be observed with other objects such as wooden roof constructions or strongly heated car parts.
  • Page 15: Wood Moisture

    Only store already dried wood in dry cellar rooms. – We recommend that, before use, you store the firewood in the wood compartment or next to the fireplace for 2–3 days. It will thus once again lose a large proportion of its residual moisture. Wood moisture The heat value of wood depends very greatly on the wood moisture.

    The steel parts of the fireplace are coated with heat-resistant paint. In the course of time, its protective function can wear off on account of damaged coating, so that a light rust film can develop in places if the surrounding air is very humid. You can easily remove this rust film with dry steel wool or a Scotch-Brite cleaning pad.
