RECOMMENDATION
Never completely clean the inside of the appliance: always leave an ash bed in the appliance. This gives better combustion of
the wood.
- Never open the door too quickly. Proceed in 2 steps:
1. Open the door ajar.
2. Wait a few seconds and then slowly open the door all the way.
CAUTION : When inserting the wood, do not take support on the window !!!
Caution:
It is not necessary to overload the fireplace with wood. 1 kg dry wood gives a 4 kW power.
Example: a fireplace with an 80% return gives a power for about 4kw x 80% = +/- 3.2 kW for 1 kg dry wood.
If you want a power of 6-7 kW, it is just enough to put 2 kg wood in the fireplace per hour. This is like one-two normal pieces
of wood.
Be careful not to use pallet wood (this gives an enormous heat) for continuous heating. This can lead to fire hazard.
We are not responsible for the bad use of the fireplaces and any consequence for not following this guideline.
The outer surfaces of the device are hot during operation, what should be paid proper attention to avoid burn injury.
For optimum combustion, place the 2 logs
in the fire according to photo
Note: Only light a fire when there is a light wind of 5 km per hour or more. Do not make a fire when there is no wind or when
there is fog. It goes without saying that you should also not light a fire when the heating notice is in eect. Likewise, poorly
constructed or unmaintained chimneys prevent the fire from obtaining oxygen or, worse, blowing smoke back into the house.
Start the fire and leave the door ajar to get a turbo airflow that fuels the fire.
Once the fire is well established, the door can be closed. Make sure that the wood is well distributed across the entire width
of the fireplace. It is also important to split large logs finely enough so that the contact surface with the wood is as large as
possible.
After burning the first blocks, place a new block on top of the old glowing blocks. It’s best to build fire carefully, so when the
previous blocks are glowing, place one or two thick blocks of regular blocks on top. No more. This way all the blocks ignite quic-
kly and there is little smoke.
Your window will tell you if you’re doing well, because as soon as it starts to darken, you need to give more air. In particular,
when
When lighting, you must give as much air as possible to your fire, because the draft of your chimney is still weak. When the fire
is burning well, it is advisable to slightly reduce the air supply, so as not to cool the fire too much and to prevent too much heat
from escaping through the chimney.
chimney. However, smothering the fire is completely out of the question, as it then cannot burn properly and produces the
highest particle emissions.
create the highest particulate emissions. Furthermore, smothering the fire also means a high risk of chimney fire.
After one use, it is not necessary to completely clean the fireplace. It is best to leave a layer of ashes of about three centime-
ters on which you will burn wood next time. The combustion temperature is therefore higher, it is better for the fireplace and
the remaining wood residue will burn next time. It’s also less work!
Another tip: the whiter the ashes, the better the combustion.
