National and European norms
The regulations in force at the time in question, including those
that refer to national and European standards, must be respected
when installing the wood-burning stove. Contact your local dealer
for further advice and guidance in connection with mounting. No-
tify your Hetas installer before you use your wood-burning stove. It
must be ensured that there is sufcient airow for the combustion
in the stove, so care must be taken concerning closely shut windows
and doors that may hinder the ow of air to the combustion.
Safety references
The surface of the stove as well as knobs, handle, window, smoke
pipe, etc. become very hot when the stove is in use. Touching these
parts without necessary protection (glove or other protective mate-
rial) can lead to burns.
Remember to make children aware of this danger and make sure to
keep them away from the wood-burning stove when it is in use. For
this purpose TermaTech offers various grates for the protection of
children. (Ask your dealer)
Allowed in the wood-burning stove
Only use dry and clean wood for combustion in the wood-burning
stove.
Maximum size of logs used in the stove is up to 50 cm in length and
10 cm in diameter.
Maximum lling:
Wood must not be added to the wood-burning stove above the ter-
tiary holes of the rearmost vermiculite/insulation plates, correspon-
ding to approximately 15 cm from the bottom plate of the combu-
stion chamber.
Only use dry wood. The burning of waste, synthetic materials and
other treated or impregnated materials is not allowed as it is very
hazardous to the environment. Furthermore the stove and the chim-
ney will be damaged by these materials. There is a danger of emis-
sion of unhealthy substances which can also lead to complaints from
neighbours.
Dry and clean wood has a maximum of 20% water which is achieved
with outdoor storage for between 1 year (soft wood) and 2 years
(hard wood). The wood must be in contact with air during storage so
the moisture can get out of the wood.
Firewood is not meant to burn overnight. Never close off the airow
completely, instead let the re die out and light it again when you
need it.
We warn against closing off the airow completely. The wood-bur-
ning stove can only burn sensibly and environmentally friendly if
there is sufcient airow for the combustion.
