Instruction Manual: Hot Tub
37
Appropriate material for lighting (e.g.: kindling or cardboard) should be placed either on the ash pan or directly
onto the grate beneath the wood (see
Figure 25
).
Use a lighter or match to light the kindling. When
inserting and lighting the wood, make sure there is sufficient air supply. As a rule, the stove
door should be closed. The ventilation grille inside
the stove door can be opened or closed to control
the air supply. The wood will burning more
efficiently if you add firewood every 10 to 15 minutes
when firing.

NOTE
The heating time is reduced if you cover the hot tub with an optional cover
(ideally: insulated cover) while it is heating up. You can also switch on the
optional water pumps (e.g.: sand filter unit pump or the water pumps for the
jets or the UV filter) to make sure that the water is mixed well. This will further
reduce the time needed to heat up the hot tub. If you have not had any of the
optional accessories described above installed, use the wooden paddle to mix
the water.
WARNING
Burn hazard, hot surfaces on / inside the stove and on the flue pipe (please
note that hot ash, sparks, and steam may escape from the flue pipe)!
Avoid
contact with hot components. Maintain a sensible distance between yourself
and the stove, and between yourself and the flue pipe. Open the stove door
slowly. Should you need to touch any of the components: Please use
protective gloves and / or allow any hot components to cool down before
handling them.
Heat the water until it reaches a temperature of 37 to 40 °C.
This can
be read on the thermometer supplied (see
Figure 26
), with the part
intended for measuring placed in the bathing water.
We
recommend checking the temperature approx. every
half hour. Depending on the optional accessories
installed, the size of the hot tub and the type of firewood,
the optimum bathing temperature is usually reached
after approx. 2 to 3.5 hours at an outside temperature of
0 °C. If the temperature exceeds 40 °C, cool it down by
adding cold water.

NOTE
Do not leave the hot tub unattended while it is heating up. You run the risk of
damaging property if the water temperature exceeds 45 °C.
