Start firing up with moderate fire in terms of avoiding thermal shocks.
Following quantity of woods is to be inserted only when previous quantity gets
burned.
Do not allow clogging of the grid with ashes and unburned fuel. Clean the grid.
Open the door slowly and carefully, not abruptly, enabling equalization of pressures
in the firebox and room, otherwise, it may cause occurrence of smoke in the room.
Stove is designed and provided for operation with constantly closed firebox door,
except during filling with fuel. Do not open door unnecessarily.
Wood must be with maximal 20% humidity for maximal burning performance.
Otherwise, tar and gases occurs which create creosote with water vapor. If creosote
occurs in larger quantity, fire may occur in the chimney.
Fire in the chimney will be easily recognized as follows: characteristic sound which
comes from the chimney like loud hoot, visible flame which comes from chimney,
high temperature of surrounding walls and characteristic smell of flare.
If fire occurs, take following steps:
• Immediately call fire department
• Suppress oxygen inflow into the chimney and turn off the stove
• Do not put anything in chimney and look after fire not to extend to the wooden
construction or some other combustible material in vicinity.
• NEVER extinguish the chimney with water or to pour water in the stove
• Fire in the chimney may be extinguished only with the device with dry powder
• Water may be used only for surrounding materials
• Do not cool surrounding walls with water
Comment:
If fire in the stove in any reason becomes dangerously strong, do as follows:
close air flaps which provide air for combustion. If necessary, put some
specially prepared sand into the burner or special fireproof extinguishing
blanket. It would be good to have fire-extinguishing device.
Prior to second filling, clean roast grid with auxiliary tools to avoid clogging of fresh
air intake.
Regularly clean ashtray, taking care top leave enough space for the ash.
Combustion agility, thus amount of heat obtained by the stove, depends on
combustion primary air amount which is brought in the area below the grid.
Regulation of primary air amount is provided automatically using air flow regulator
Rathgeber (fig. 7).
