5.6 GENERAL HEATING TIPS
Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution
in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the
appliance, for instance) and the environment. Wood can only be classi! ed as dry if it
has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic).
Never use painted or impregnated wood. The gases emitted when burning painted or
impregnated wood are aggressive and will affect the appliance, the environment and
your health.
Ensure that your appliance burns well. The smoke generated should be translucent
or white and the windows of the appliance will remain clean. We recommend that
you do not pinch off your appliance (by closing all air openings). Doing so will hinder
combustion which, apart from polluting the atmosphere, will lead to deposits of soot
and tar in your chimney (which, unchecked, will increase the risk of chimney ! re).
Keep the door shut when the appliance is burning. Doing so improves the
performance of your appliance 8 - 10 times, bene! ting the environment and the heat
in your home (less topping up). You will also prevent appliance damage from any
particles the appliance spits out (this is a particular problem with softwood from
conifers). If your # oor contains # ammable material, an extra # oor plate is required.
Avoid lighting an appliance in misty or still conditions. If the wind is still, there is
hardly any draught in the cold chimney. As smoke is heavier than air, there is a
chance that smoke will enter the room. If there is mist in the air, smoke coming out of
your chimney will cool quickly and fall, causing problems in your area.
Do not extinguish your appliance with water - let it burn out. The part of the inner
lining that is in direct contact with the appliance is clad with ! re-resistant material.
Sudden changes in temperature may lead to it deforming or cracks appearing.
Chimney ! re.
If, despite all the precautions, a ! re should occur in the chimney (you generally notice
that because of a roaring sound in the chimney), do the following:
Immediately shut the chimney # ap (if ! tted).
Immediately shut the air supply to the appliance.
Call the ! re brigade (
(
112).
Quickly quench the ! re in the appliance with sand or soda in order to prevent
smoke in your house.
Never use water to put out the ! re.
Ventilate.
If there has been a ! re in the chimney, have it swept and inspected for damage
and leakage.
