USER MANUAL
4.6 Fire with central heating connection
!Caution
This type of appliance must be filled with water. Use the bleeding valve located on the rear of the fire to purge the
system of any air before bringing into use. This type of fire may never be heated without water in the system.
!Caution
Check and, if necessary, clean the heat-exchanger once every 4 weeks. . When cleaning make sure that all soot that
has accumulated between and on the pipes of the heat-exchanger is removed.
!Caution
The water supply for the cooling coil in the appliance may never be shut off.
At the start of a new heating session there may be some condensation formation on the heat-exchanger in the fire
chamber. This is normal. It will disappear as the temperature of the water in the heat-exchanger increases.
5. Burning instructions and tips
Below you will find tips and instructions that are important for a good operation of your fire.
5.1 Fuel
Good fuel is the ‘engine’ of your fire. You will benefit the most from your fire, if you burn it with high quality, well
dried wood or wood briquettes. In this way you will prevent unwanted additional effects like excess smoke
formation as a result of poor combustion, insufficient heat yield and poor efficiency. The fire is only suitable to be
filled with clean wood or wood briquettes.
Wood is usually purchased in cubic metres. However, there are many types of ‘cubes’ available on the market:
• A genuine cube (neatly stacked sawn and split wood): 1.0 m 3 (approx. 700 kg).
• A bulk cube (wood loaded in 1 m3 trays): 0.6 m3 (approx. 400 kg).
• A stere (neatly stacked one metre sections): 1.2 m3 (approx. 900 kg).
Dry wood
Wood must be properly dry. Freshly felled wood is not suitable, as it contains too much moist (approx.
60%). Oven-dried wood, on the other hand, is suitable. Therefore, you should allow the wood to dry for at least one
year, and preferably for two to three years. The wood will dry if you store it outside under a lean-to (i.e. not in the
garage), preferably in a sunny location. This will allow the wind (but not the rain) to get to it. Short, split stems will
dry the quickest. After drying, they only contain 15 to 20% moist and will provide the highest output.
!Tip
Dry wood will generate a bright sound when you hit two blocks together. At the front side there will be shrinkage
cracks and the bark will come loose easily.
We recommend using a moisture gauge to measure the moist percentage of the burning wood. It will be available
at your supplier.
In order to determine the moist percentage correctly, please pay attention to the following:
• First allow the burning wood to reach room temperature.
• Always measure in the core of the wood block.
• This is why you should always cleave a wood block through the middle first.
• Press the moisture gauge's measuring pinsdiagonally on the grain,uprightandfirmly in the middle of the
freshly cleaved surface.
There is no point in measuring at the cross-cut of the wood or parallel to the grain.
• The measurement provides an indication. In order to get a more accurate picture, the measurement should be
repeated on several places (and perhaps on various wood blocks).
• The burning wood may have a maximum moist percentage of 20%. If the wood is too dry, i.e. below a moist
percentage of 10%, it will quickly gasify and overloading could occur, particularly in the case of lighter wood
types.
