Technical data

Low intensity res cause tar
and creosote to deposit in
the chimney after a long pe
-
riod of time. Tar and creo
-
sote are highly combustible
substances. Thicker layers
of these substances might
catch re when the tempe-
rature in the chimney incre
-
ases suddenly and steeply.
Therefore it is necessary for
the re to regularly burn very intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately
disappear.
Low intensity res also cause tar to deposit on the stove panels and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a few hours
a day.
Burning coal
FOR BURNING WITH COAL, THE AIR INTAKE ABOVE THE DOOR (2) (= SECON-
DARY AIR INTAKE) MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.
When the ignition re has sufciently stabilized and when there is a sufcient blaze, then a
scoop of coal can be added to the re.
Use the front door when lling. Once the coals have ignited, the addition of coals can be
completed. Make sure that you do not put out the re by adding too much coal at once. After
the coals have been burning well for some time, adjust the level of the primary air-inlet. Just
prior to relling, open the primary air-inlet completely. Now use the shaking grate and shake
until glowing bits fall into the ash drawer. After that, add coal.
After a couple of minutes, adjust the primary air-inlet to the desired position. Add a maxi
-
mum amount of coal until you can just make out the glow of the previous lling.
When the re basket or the cast-iron plate ns are red-hot, you are heating too intensely.
Low heating (for devices suitable for continuous use)
To use the advice as a “continuous re”, you can select the primary ans secondary air scoops
in such a way you get the right burning speed. Always make sure there’s enough glow on the
heating bottom.
