chimney re. If the rewood is too dry it will burn too quickly. Often
the gasses in the wood are released faster than they can burn and
some go unburned through the chimney. This also gives lower ex-
ploitation and harms the environment.
So it is a balance that is quite easy to nd with a little practise. See
also below under Storage.
Bio-briquettes can be used, but they develop a lot of ash and dust.
Put in max. 2 kg per hour.
Energy coke must not be used as it contains a lot of sulphur which
wears on a stove, the chimney and the environment. The life of
stove and chimney will be signicantly reduced by using this ring
type and the right to claim compensation for the product is void.
Storage of the rewood is best under a roof, however with good
ventilation, e.g. in a carport or under a shed roof. Place the wood on
a wooden pallet or the like so it is free from the ground. Fresh wood
that has been sawed and split must be stored for about 1-2 years
this way until the moisture in the wood is down to 15-20%.
The ashes can be put in the rubbish bin for garbage collection. The
ashes should always have cooled for 1-2 days before it is put in the
rubbish bin, as there might still be embers that can light garbage or
a garbage bag.
Regulation and smoke damper:
If one is xed in the chimney it should not close of more than 80%
of the internal diameter of the chimney.
MALFUNCTIONS
If problems should occur with the use of the stove the cause can
possibly be found below. If not, then you are always welcome to
contact your dealer.
The stove is difcult to control – it burns too fast
If the stove is new, then check that the directions have been follo-
wed. If the stove is more than 1 year old or if it has been used he-
avily, then the jointings may need to be changed. If the jointings sit
for too long the heat makes them lose their ability to keep the stove
sealed. Check that the ashpan is closed completely.
If there is heavy draught in the chimney it may be necessary to t a
damper in it.
The stove has poor draught after installation
Check that the mounting instructions have been followed. It is espe-
cially the conditions surrounding the chimney that may cause pro-
blems. Are diameter and length okay, is it sealed, are smoke pipe
and junctions sealed? Is the cleaning hatch sealed? You may need
to contact a chimney sweep to remedy the problem as the chimney
