Slow Combustion
On a proper layer of embers feed a fair quantity of wood (3.0 – 3.5kg
distributed on 3-5 pieces of wood – not one or two big logs). When the fire has
caught on well, adjust the air down. Never adjust down more than still leaving
clear, lasting flames. When this fire has burned down, the period up to the next
stoking may be stretched further by closing the register entirely so that cold air
will not be pulled through the stove.
Adjusting the air supply down too early, or if it is generally too small, will
cause a poor rate of efficiency and a too high emission level to the detriment of
the environment.
Ashes
Ashes may be discarded in the waste bin for refuse collection. The ashes should
always have cooled for 24 to 48 hours before being thrown into the waste bin as
there may otherwise still be embers that may ignite waste or the waste bag.
Sound Advice
Kindling after a protracted interval
If your stove has not been used for some considerable time, the chimney should
b inspected for blocking prior to rekindling.
Cleaning of Stove
All Lotus stoves have been factory surface treated with original Senotherm
lacquer in ”coke” or ”grey” colour. Due to this treatment, the stove will, during
the first kindlings, exude a special odour but that will vanish after a few times.
Good airing to be provided. The surface is maintained by brushing it using a
soft, long-haired auto brush or by using the vacuum cleaner with a brush.
Your stove should also be cleaned inside regularly. Ashes, soot, and any tar
residues are to be removed from pane and combustion chamber. Smoke baffle
plates should be dismantled regularly to remove soot and dirt which will
frequently settle behind the plates. Check at the same time whether there is free
passage to the chimney. The ash pan should also be emptied regularly as
