04 BASIC RULES FOR OPERATION BASIC
Proper operation or use
BRUNNER heating inserts are individual fireplaces that are designed exclu-
sively for operation with natural logs or suitable wood briquettes.
Operation in accordance with the intended use is deemed to have taken
place if the information and notes on heating operation, maintenance and
fuel given in the instructions are observed.
Heating operation
The service life and functionality of the heating insert depend on correct
assembly, proper operation, as well as regular cleaning and maintenance.
The fireplace door should be opened only for loading firewood or cleaning.
BRUNNER heating inserts are designed and optimized for closed opera-
tion.
Stoves and fireplaces from Ulrich Brunner GmbH are designed for periodic
burning. It means that always a minimal amount of firewood has to be
loaded and the combustion air must be adjusted according to the follow-
ing instructions. Insufficient volumes of combustion air will lead to higher
emissions and increased staining of the glass door.
Avoid overheating the fireplace with higher filling quantities than specified
in the operating instructions! If the fireplace is overheated, discoloration
can occur. This discoloration does not constitute a reason for complaint.
Stoking wood
The door handle can heat up after longer heating periods (> 60° C). We
recommend using the enclosed protective gloves when stoking up with
wood.
It is not intended to add wood while the fire is burning (visible flames). Fuel
is added again when the previous burn-up has ended and no more flames
can be seen (ember phase).
Heating with storage fireplaces
When using your storage fireplace with ceramic storage mass, please keep
the following heating intervals.
First put the maximal load of wood inside the stove, then light up from
above and let it burn. After combustion ends, wait for approx. one hour,
and then put half the load of wood. After another hour has passed from
combustion end, put half the load of wood again, if required. These steps
can be repeated after a heating pause of eight hours. If more wood is
loaded over a short time, this can result in overheating and storage mass
damage.
Please ask your stove setter for the allowed loads and heating inter-
vals. Different heating intervals will apply, when a storage fireplace is
operated for the first time!
