Omnitron Systems Technology A10 Instructions For Use, Ash Drawer, Ash Grate, Baffle Plates, Glass

3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Ash Drawer

The ash drawer located behind the fuel door is designed to make cleaning easier by containing the ashes in a removable drawer

Ash Grate

Above the ash drawer, located in the floor of the firebox is a rotating ash grate to facilitate transferring ashes from the firebox into the ash drawer. To operate this grate, pull and push the handle under the bottom plate in and out several times. Operate stove only with the handle pushed all the way in.

Baffle Plates

The SCAN stoves have two baffle plates that must be installed in the upper firebox. When in the proper position, the rear edges of the baffle plates should touch the back wall of the firebox. See the maintenance section of this manual for additional information on Removing Baffle plates for Cleaning on page 20.

Ceramic baffle plates are delivered with the stoves. When mounting a baffle plate place it according to the description in section 5: Removing Baffle for Cleaning. Make sure that it is placed symmetrically in the stove, i.e. with even amounts of free air space on each side.

We recommend that you treat the ceramic baffle plates (Skamol) with caution because it is a delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty). It is extremely heat resistant.

Glass

The glass is a heat-resistant ceramic glass that can withstand continuous temperatures up to 1390°F (754°C). This temperature is well beyond the temperatures in which you operate your stove.

These stoves are designed to provide a flow of air over the inside of the glass. This air combined with high temperatures helps keep the glass optimally clean when the combustion air intake is fully opened. When operating the stove on low for extended periods of time, the glass may become dirty. A short, hot fire will help clean off much of the normal sooth buildup (see section 6: Troubleshooting). In order to keep glass soot-free, the moisture content of the wood must be between 15 % and 18% on a wet basis.

Smoke Detectors

Since there are always several potential sources of fire in any home, we recommend installing smoke detectors. Do not install them too close to the stove as heat can activate them.

Room Ventilation

During the combustion, oxygen taken from the room air is used. In rare cases it may be necessary to mount a fresh-air duct on the stove. Please refer to your local building codes.

Fire Box Lining

The firebox is lined with Skamol, which is a high heat resisted and isolations material

We recommend that you treat the lining plates (Skamol) with caution because it is a delicate material (not covered by the limited warranty
