may be necessary to use the start-up air and
possibly have the door ajar.
The wood will then ignite within a very short time
(Typically 1 to 3 minutes). Once the fuel is Ignited
.
Close the door and regulate the air back to ope-
rating air. When the fire is well established, you
can now regulate the operating air to the desired
combustion level.
Rated output (see DOP of page 2) measured
when the combustion air is about 80% open.
Ensure when refueling that the wood is not too
close, it will cause poorer combustion, less heat
out-put and lower efficiency.
The fuel load, must be maintained below the top
series of air holes and within the outer vent in
each side. Fig. 5
When refueling be careful to place
the fuel into the combustion
cham-
ber gently, (use the provided glove).
By not doing so you risk cracking or
breaking the vermiculite.
If there is reduced draft in the chimney, we re-
commend opening a window at stoking. This will
give better ventilation to the room and more oxy-
gen for combustion.
1.6 Emptying the ash
By using the shaker grate, it rotates back and
forth so the ash falls through the holes and into
the ashtray, see Fig. 6. It is advantageous to
leave a layer of ash in the bottom of the combu-
stion chamber on top of the grate as insulation.
For emptying the ash pan - use the supplied
handles 1020-0001 use of the ashtray tool, see
Fig. 7.
It is an advantage for the next firing to leave a
layer of ash lying in the bottom of the firebox.
Be careful when emptying the
ashes out. There can be hot embers
left for a long time.
1.7 Reduced burning
The stove is, designed for intermittent use.
It is important to maintain the layer of hot em-
bers. Lower heat out-put occurs when no flames
come from the tree, when it is becomes glowing
charcoal.
If you are looking for less heat out-put, achieve
this by fueling with smaller volumes of wood and
a lower operating air. You may not completely
close the operating air during firing.
Be aware that the stove will naturally soot if the
operating air is too low. This is not good for the
environment. There is also a risk for the glass,
t
he chimney and other parts will become sooted.
By a combination of the above and possibly
burning damp wood. Can lead to high levels of
soot that it becomes sticky. Causing the sealing
of the door to tear off when opening the door
the next day.
1.8 Explosion!!!
It is very important never to leave
The stove after start up or refueling,
before the fire is established.
(Typically 1 to 3 minutes)
Explosion can occur if filled with too much fuel
in the stove, the production of large volumes of
