OPERATION
Accessories provided
A hook is provided for the revolving grate, as well as a protective glove to open the heating
door (please refer to page 4).
Heating door lock
The device has a self-closing door. Simply pull on the door handle to open the heating door.
Setting for the combustion air
For optimal combustion, a certain amount of wood requires a certain amount of oxygen. If
the amount of air supplied to the wood is smaller than that need for a clean and efficient
combustion process, the device will generate less energy (device protected from
overheating as far as possible) - the unused “wood gas” escapes through the chimney; the
result: the device is less effective and the environmental footprint is higher.
PLEASE NOTE It is strictly necessary to observe the recommended fuel quantities and air
settings!
The primary air entering the combustion chamber from below via the grate is responsible
for performance, as it generates most of the heat that leads to “wood gasification”. This
wood gas is burnt in a clean and efficient manner thanks to pre-heated secondary air.
The secondary air comes from above and flows along the combustion chamber door (or
window) and over the fuel in the combustion chamber. An accurate mixture of wood gas
and hot secondary air creates an optimal combustion process - and in turn excellent use of
fuel. Nature will thank us for it!
Setting for the Air Supply Lever to prevent flow of combustion air
The supply of the primary and secondary air required for
combustion is regulated using the lever to manage flow of
combustion air.
This determines the burning rate and, as such, the amount of
heat output by the device.
