which period windows of the room should be opened.
- the combustion intensity is regulated with the primary air regulator located at the
front of the stove by turning it left-right, and with stack valve regulator (on models
which possess it) located at the chimney spout by rotating it.
When handle of input air regulator is in most right position it is in closed position
(no air flow into the burning chamber), and when in most left position it is fully
opened (maximum flow of air into the burning chamber). Between these two,
gradually can be set medium positions.
When handle of stack valve regulator is in most left or most right position, it is in
closed position (mimimum output flow of combustion gases.. When handle of stack
valve regulator is in upper position, it is in fully opened position (maximum output
flow of combustion gases). Between closed and fully opened positions are medium
positions.
- do not use gasoline, lighter fluid, Kerosene or other flammable liquids to start or
rekindle the fire, for the safety reasons. When starting the fire, make sure that air
regulator and stack valve regulator (on models which possess it) are in fully opened
positions. Build a fire directly on the grate with crumpled newspaper, kindling wood
and commercialy available "firelighters". Do not allow single pieces of paper to float
up the chimney especially alight. This is a common cause of chimney fire and can
cause structural damages to the property. When the kindling is burning well you
can add larger pieces of wood to gradually increase the size of fire
- when you want to refuel the stove, first put the input air regulator in closed
position and after that open the door slowly and carefully refuel the stove. Do not
open the door abruptly as this may cause the appearance of smoke in the room.
Maximum filling height in the burning chamber should not be more than 2/3 of the
height of the chamber. Optimal filling height in the burning chamber is 1/2 of the
height of the chamber. It is advisable to wait for the fire to be reduced to hot embers
before re-loading. Do not let the congestion of grate in the combustion chamber
with ash and non-burned fuel. Clean the grate regularly.
- The stove is constructed and designed for continuous operation with the closed
door of the combustion chamber, except during refueling the stove. Do not open
the door when the stove is in use without the need.
- de-ash the ash pan regularly - do not allow a bed of ash to build up above the
level of the sides of the ash pan. Wood will burn better with the slight build up of
ash in the ash pan.
