7. Handling and Usage
Before firing the chimney, the throttle shaft should be turned into a
horizontal position (Figure 4, position 8).
Firing of the furnace is done with paper and fine chopped wood
(when the regulators on the front of the furnace are opened all the way)
positioned on the grid. Positioning the paper and fine wood,
as well as the firewood, is done through the opening on the right lateral
side, given that the lateral doors are already opened (Figure 1, position
6).

When the basic glow is formed, you need to place the thicker wood or coal close to the right door
and set up the air regulators (Figure 1, position 1), as well as the airflow regulator (Figure
4, position 8). In order to use the furnace economically, you should load it with coal or wood up to the
front grill grid. In this area, you can fit up to 10 kg of coal.
By adjusting the air regulators, you regulate the combustion speed and the temperature in the room by
placing the throttle to the 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 – marks on the front side of the furnace.
In general, for the furnace firing, you should use the door on the right lateral side of the
furnace.
7.2 Furnace Cleaning and Maintenance
The entire furnace should be regularly checked by an expert. The furnace, flue and chimney must be
cleaned regularly several times a year, and at least once during the heating season.
Regular maintenance and cleaning of the furnace is of particular importance for good and reliable
operation of the furnace. Maintenance of the enamelled and painted surfaces is recommended only when
the furnace is cold. The furnace is washed with clean water and a soft cloth. Painted surfaces of the
furnace are cleaned with a dust brush or a dry cloth. When it comes to the painted parts of the furnace,
do not use water or a damp cloth. The time intervals for cleaning the furnace depend on the type of fuel or
on the duration and type of furnace.
The
ash tray (Figure 7, pos. 9) should be
emptied regularly before each furnace firing.
You need to clean the grill once or twice a week.
In case of clogging of the vents with slag or
other combustion residue, they must be
removed immediately.
When firing, avoid the formation of soot on the glass.
Soot is formed during combustion for the
following reasons:
- bad airflow in the chimney (bad chimney)
Fig. 7 - the furnace is not used properly, for instance,
0 oxygen supply is interrupted too soon.
Regarding the above mentioned facts,
we have no influence over them.
That is why we cannot assume any responsibility
for the clean glass.
