Functioning at higher outdoor temperatures
At higher outdoor temperature the draft of the chimney may be affected,
which in turn will cause smoke to escape from the stove. This can be
prevented by burning the stove with a larger flame. A larger flame with
the same heat production can be achieved by filling the stove more often
with a smaller quantity of wood and by burning the wood whilst the air
valve is opened further. The fire should then also be stoked more often,
particularly if it consists of a large quantity of glowing ash.
FUEL
The Altech wood stoves are only suitable for burning wood. It is not
permitted to burn chipboard or wood which has been varnished, painted,
impregnated or compressed wood or hardwood (e.g. Azobe). Burning
materials other than clean, dry wood reduces the life span of the stove
and harms the environment, therefore it is not permitted and at the
same time the warranty will no longer be valid.
We recommend the use of birch or beech which has been cut into pieces
and left outside under a lean-to for a minimum of 2 year. The moisture
content of the wood must be between 12% and 18%.
