suddenly. By burning the fire at a high intensity
on a regular basis, any layers of tar and cre-
osote will disappear.
Burning at a low intensity can also cause tar to
be deposited on the appliance window and
door.
When the outside temperature is mild, it is
better to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Regulate the air supply using the secondary air
inlet.
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to
the fire but to the glass as well, so that it does
not quickly become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful sub-
stances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.
Removing ash
After wood has burnt, a relatively small amount of ash
is left over. This ash bed is a good insulating layer for
the stove base plate and improves combustion. It is a
good idea to leave a thin layer of ash on the stove
base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a vermiculite inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
Subject to change because of technical improvements.
1. Open the door of the appliance.
2. Use the scraper (2) to open the ash removal port
(1) by opening the bottom of the fire compartment.
3. Scrape the excess ash through the de-ashing
cover into the ash pan (3) below it.
4. Close the ash removal port.
5. Using the glove supplied, remove the ash pan and
empty it.
6. Replace the ash pan and close the door of the
appliance.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
