FIRING UP (Fig. 17)
In order to suppress the emission of pollu-
tants as far as possible, we would ask you -
for the sake of the environment - to adhere
to the following instructions for heating up
your firing appliance.
1.
If your appliance and chimney are cold, or if
low atmospheric pressure prevails, it is
recommended that initially you burn some
paper, to “drive” the coldness from the
appliance and the chimney.
2.
When heating up, first lay 1 kg of wood (2
logs) on the combustion chamber floor.
Then place some uncoated paper on top,
with 0.8 kg soft wood chippings and 1 kg of
wood (2 logs) - (Fig. 17).
3.
Now ignite the paper. Pull the vibrating
grate actuator (Fig. 8, Part 14) fully out
and open the primary air damper (Fig. 8,
Part 24) and the secondary air damper
(Fig. 4).
Wait until the soft wood chippings are well
burnt through.
Two minutes later, close the vibrating grate
actuator (Part 14) and the primary air damper
(Part 24). Several minutes later, set the
secondary air damper (Part 3) to the middle
position and approx. 6 minutes later adjust
it to the ideal setting (Fig. 5 - engraved
marking).
4.
When the burning has finished, lay about
2 kg of wood (2 logs) in the firebox. Open
the vibrating grate actuator (Part 14) and
the primary air damper (Part 24), until the
wood is burning well (approx. 2 min.). The
secondary air damper (Part 3) should
remain at the ideal setting.
For each further layer of fuel, proceed in
the same way.
5.
The remnants of the combustion on the
firebox floor are the mineral components
of the wood (approx. 1%).
This ash is an excellent fertiliser for all the
plants in the garden, because it is a purely
natural product. However, the ash should
first be left to accumulate and then be
“quenched” with water.
3. OPERATION
Please do not use gloss paper or paper from
magazines. These types of paper do not
burn well and they generate very poisonous
substances in the flue gases.
