5.4. Only for variant i-2100: Adding fuel - LED
display
A further fulfill of fuel should be done only on a basic firebed
(no flame should be shown).
A blinking light (5-times) will reminds you in a 30 second
interval to fulfill the fire combustion with new fuel.
The blinking light will disappear after 5 minutes if no further
fulfill is done.
We recommend charging fuel in only one layer, preferably
using large (approx. 33 cm), wood billets largely filling the
firebox width.
5.5. Operating mode during the transition period
During the seasonal transition period or in the event of higher
outside temperatures it is possible that chimney draft
problems occur under certain conditions during a sudden
increase in temperature, so that the exhaust gases are not fully
extracted.
5.6. De-ashing
After extended combustion, at least once per day, discharge
the ash through the riddling grate into the ash pan and empty
the ash pan. This is best done in the morning after embers
heating overnight with the stove in a relatively cold state.
Please ensure that the ash pan is emptied when approximately
half full so that the ash cone does not grow up too closely to
the grate. If the grate is packed into the ash cone there is a risk
for it to get damaged through overheating since no cooling air
can get to it.
Caution:
Prior to de-ashing always check if no residual embers are
present in the ash. Even if the ash is cold it may still contain
traces of embers that could lead to a fire in the waste bin.
Wood ash can be used as fertiliser.
5.7. Emission limitation
The wood stove has been built for the combustion of low-
smoke fuels.
According to the Federal Emission Protection Act the
following must not be combusted for instance:
Moist wood or wood treated with wood protection agent
Fine wood chips
Paper and cardboard (except for lighting)
Barks or chipboard waste
Plastic or other waste
Burning such materials will not only harm the environment
but also shorten the service life of your wood stove and the
chimney may also be damaged. Regular cleaning and care of
your stove also reduces pollutant emission. Obviously bark
adhering to wood billets can be burnt.
5.8. Cleaning and care
At least once per year, if required more frequently, clean and
service your wood stove n the cold condition. To do so,
remove the ash deposits in the flue pipe and the smoke baffle
plates or draft baffle plates. Draft baffle plates made of
ceramic fibre or vermiculite can be removed for cleaning (see
Equipment Sheet). Please reinstall carefully in the same
position after cleaning. For cleaning the flue gas drafts an ash
extractor with fine particle filter is highly suitable. Dirt on the
view windowpane is best and most environmentally friendly
removed using a scouring pad moistened with water and
dipped into wood ash or other commercially available
domestic glass cleaners.
The chimney must also be regularly cleaned by the chimney
sweep. The required intervals can be enquired from your
responsible master chimney sweep.
The wood stove should be checked annually by a specialist.
