G3

Floor load capacity

Make sure that the load capacity of the supporting construction is sufficient to carry the weight of the

entire unit, before the heating unit is installed.

Combustion air

Being the user of the stove you must take care of a sufficient combustion air supply. Sealed-up windows and doors may not allow a sufficient combustion air supply or disturb the draught behaviour of your stove.

Stove pipe connection

For your own safety stringent laws apply for connecting the stove pipes to the chimney. Your professional dealer or distributor knows these laws. Please have your certified retailer carry out the connection of your stove.

3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE

Initial startup of your stove

Your stove was treated with a special environmentally friendly lacquer. The lacquer surface is still soft when the stove is delivered. The lacquer will harden when your stove is used for the first time. The lacquer surface must not be touched when it is heated for the first time. The stove must be initially heated at a high temperature for at least 1.5 hours. Visible vapors may appear during the hardening of the lacquer. Therefore it will be necessary to open the windows during the initial operation in order let the vapors escape into the outdoors.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: It takes several heating sessions before for your stove releases only the pleasant smell of burning wood.

Approved fuels

Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood preferred), wood briquettes.

Maximum amount of fuel

Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,6 kg wood or appr. 1,8 kg wood briquettes. Larger amounts of fuel can lead to overheating and thus damage the stove.

Clean burning

The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture

<15%) and untreated. The right amount of wood must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that releases only small amounts of emissions.

Making a fire

Prepare everything you need for starting the firesoft wood chips, igniter materials (such as Austroflamm lighter), wood. Figure 1 provides a good overview of the quantity of the materials you will need.

Open the primary and secondary air all the way. Move both sliders. See figure 2.

Open the stove door.

Put ignition aid on the floor of the firebox. Lay soft wood chips onto the paper.

Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips.

Figure 3: Igniting the Fire

Light the ignition aid. Close the firebox door. As soon as the chips burn well, close the primary air supply. See Figure 2.

Figure 4: Close the Primary Air

As soon as the wood logs are burning well too, you can regulate the heating capacity with the secondary air slider. (slider set to the maximum (“AUF”) setting produces maximum heat – see figure 2.)

When adding wood to the fire, follow the same procedure as when igniting the fire: Open primary air, open secondary air, carefully open firebox door, lay wood on the fire, close the firebox door. Wait until the added wood catches fire and is burning. Then close the primary air. Subsequently regulate the fire with the secondary air supply.
