Fuel - Spartherm XS 500 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

not completely extracted. In these circumstances, the fireplace should only be
filled with a low volume of fuel and the air damper operated at its highest
setting. This will result in the existing fuel burning quicker (with a greater
development of flames). As a result, the performance of the chimney flue
should stabilise. In order to avoid resistance in the bed of embers, the ash
should be carefully taken off at regular intervals. After the chimney has
stabilised, the air intake feed can be reduced a little (to around the medium
setting).
The foundation "Wald in Not" (Forest in Danger) put it aptly in one of their
information brochures: "Wood does not cause any burden for nature. Wood is
stored energy from the sun. Sunlight, water and carbon dioxide are the
building blocks from which wood is created. Sunlight is chemically bonded
during the whole life of the tree. The sun's energy is stored in lignin and
cellulose. This energy is set free again when the wood is burnt!

Fireplaces may only be operated using fuels that correspond to the 1st
BlmSchV regulations. Only firewood (recommended residual moisture 20%
or less) or wood briquettes according to DIN 51731 are permissible for use in
