Implement drawer / Fuel trolly
This storage drawer is at the base of the stove and is large enough to hold the various
implements needed during use of the stove. The maximum load it can hold is 10 kg. Heav-
ier items can cause damage to the storage drawer.
PLEASE NOTE:
Make sure that the lower trolley is always locked when adding fuel or when opening
the boiler and ash door. Fire hazard!
It is absolutely forbidden to store easily flammable materials in this drawer, such as
alcohol, petrol, liquid fuels, paints or varnishes, lighters, paper etc.
3.1.5
Oven lighting
The ovens are equipped with an oven light.
The switch is on the side behind the implement drawer.
In order to use it you need to open the implement drawer.
3.2
Lighting
The performance control is set depending on the type of fuel as a function of the chimney
draught and the desired heating level. With firewood and particularly with softwood, only a
limited heating period is possible. Lignite briquettes are much better suited to burning
overnight, if they are placed on top of a layer of glowing embers.
Heating / using for the first time
•
Before using make sure any fixings for transport are removed from the deflection plate
over the fire chamber and
remove
any
stickers
on the glass window, making sure no
traces remain.
Open the fire door by lifting the catch. When the stove is hot use a protective glove to do
this. Set the primary air settings as shown in
Table 2
“Combustion air flow settings”. Open
the start damper. Place a starter briquette or some wood shavings on the grid. Then add
some smaller, then larger pieces of wood light it and shut the fire chamber door. Once the
fire is burning strongly and there is a sufficient base of embers, add more fuel and shut the
start damper off.
The first time the stove is lit it should be done “gently”, with a small amount of fuel, to allow
the stove parts to get used to the heat. The first time the stove is heated there may be
some smoke and an unpleasant smell. Make sure that the room is well ventilated (open
windows and doors) and heat for at least an hour at the maximum nominal heat load. If the
maximum temperature is not reached the first time the stove is heated, then there may be
further unpleasant smells at a later date. Never throw pieces of fuel into the fire chamber,
but place them, as otherwise the lining may be damaged.
The loading door (fire door) must always be kept shut when the stove is in use.
It may only be opened when lighting, filling up or cleaning the fire chamber.
PLEASE NOTE:
If not working correctly, or if the chimney is not drawing properly, smoke may ap-
pear when the fire door is opened. It is very important to only open the fire door
slowly, initially just a crack, then wait a few seconds before opening fully. In addi-
tion, before opening the fire door to top up the fuel, make sure that only glowing
material is present: there must not be any visible flames.
