6.4 BURNING TOO FAST OR WOOD CONSUMPTION
TOO HIGH
If this was not the case from the onset, please ask yourself the following:
• Did you throttle the air for combustion (adjustment lever to the left)?
• Do you use hardwood with 15 – 18% residual moisture after the fire
start-up phase?
• Is the door fully closed?
• Are you using the recommended quantity of wood? Only contact your
specialized dealer/fireplace installer if you can reply “Yes” to all the
questions – without improvement.
6.5 FIRECLAY
• Cracking or even broken fireclay does not warrant lodging a claim. Fire-
clay is a natural product exposed to high stresses. A tension or expan-
sion crack is no cause for alarm; it is a purely visual flaw.
• Broken or shifted fireclay must be replaced. In this case, phone your
specialized dealer/fireplace installer.
6.6 CHIMNEY FIRE
The fireplace frequently releases sparks into the chimney when burning
pinewood. These may ignite the layer of soot in the chimney (this seldom
happens if the chimney sweep visits regularly). The chimney is alight. This is
evident by flames blazing out of the chimney outlet, by serious flying sparks,
unpleasant smoke and odour and by increasingly hotter chimney flanks.
Taking proper action is important in this case. To call the fire brigade, dial
emergency number 112. Also notify the chimney sweep. Move flammable
objects away from the chimney. Warning by experts: Do not use water to
extinguish the fire in the interim. Chimney fire temperatures may reach
1300 °C. Fire-fighting water turns to steam immediately. A 10 liter bucket
of water generates 17 cubic meters of steam. The enormous resultant pres-
sure may burst the chimney.
