8. Adding Fuel / Heating at Nominal
Thermal Output
More fuel should be added to the re when the
ames from the previous burning off phase have
just gone out.

CAUTION!
Please ensure that the logs are inserted
with sufcient distance (at least 5 cm)
from the furnace window.
9. Heating at Low Thermal Output
(during Transitional Seasons)
You can vary the thermal output of your Sendai by
adjusting the quantity of fuel used.
NOTE!
Do not attempt to slow down the com-
bustion by reducing the air supply. When
heating with wood, this can result in an
incomplete burning process and pose the
risk of an explosive like combustion of the
accumulated wood gases (deagration).
10. Emptying the Ash Drawer
As a safety precaution, please make sure that you
onlydisposeofashesoncetheyarecold.Whilethe
ashcollectsduringthere,thelid(g.4/1)islo-
catedundertheashdrawer(g.4/2).
The ash drawer contains the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%) as combustion residues.
Remove both the ash drawer and the lid located
underneath it. Make sure the ash does not pile up
allthewaytothebottomoftherebox.Slidethe
lid onto the ash drawer so that it is closed; this
prevents ashes from ying around, which in turn

Please ensure that, when inserting the ash drawer,
the ash drawer lid is positioned on the base of the
drawer with the side brackets facing down.
