5.1.1 WOOD STOR AG E
Usually, it is recommended to store firewood protected against moisture in a
well ventilated storage facility for approximately 2- 3 years (e.g. under a roof
overhang facing away from the weather side). When properly stored, a wood
moisture level < 20% is achieved more quickly.
Therefore, you should store your firewood split, because the bark prevents
the moisture from escaping. To ensure good ventilation, you should leave a
hand gap distance between the logs, so that air can circulate freely and so
escaping moisture can be well absorbed by the air. A gap of about 20-30 cm
to the ground should be maintained below the log pile. The re-absorption
of moisture due to precipitation (e.g. rain or snow) should be avoided. The
storing of wood in garages, under plastic sheets or in poorly ventilated base-
ments is not recommended, because then the moisture existing in the wood
has difficulty to escape.
5.2 YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Whether or not your stove burns in an environmentally-friendly way is very
much dependent on the choice of fuel and the manner, in which the fire is
operated. The following tips should help you operate your stove with minimum
harm to the environment.
• Use as little wood containing resin as possible (fir, pine, spruce). These
types of wood cause soot to form on the window of your stove more
rapidly, and also cause more sparks. Therefore, for safety reasons, only
use deciduous woods (birch, beech, oak, fruit tree timber).
• Adapt the amounts of wood you add to the fire to suit your heating
requirements.
You can check that combustion in your stove is clean and relatively free of
pollutants in the following way:
• The ash should be white. If the ash is dark, this indicates the presence of
residual carbon, which in turn indicates incomplete combustion.
• The flue gases in the chimney top should be almost invisible (the less
visible the flue gases, the better the combustion).
• The firebox lining in your stove should be bright after combustion, not
sooty.
Note: The fireplace must not be used as a waste incinerator! This is a tem-
porary fire area thus, longer continuous burning is not achieved by piling up
the fire repeatedly. Continuous burning without piling up the fire in-between
cannot be achieved even through withdrawal of the combustion air and is not
permitted.
6. CLEANING AND CARE
The stove may only be cleaned when cold. Bear in mind that through clean-
ing, contamination of the setup room and the clothing worn can occur. We
recommend that you to the protect the area around the combustion chamber
opening with foil or a cloth against dirt and to wear work clothes. After clean-
ing, all removed parts should be refitted.
6.1 CLEANING THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER/CLAD-
DING PARTS
• The stove, the combustion chamber, the smoke collecting chamber with
the heating gas diverter, the combustion air supply and the connecting
pieces to the chimney must inspected at regular intervals for deposits
and cleaned if necessary annually, possibly also during and after each
heating season and after cleaning the chimney (consult your stove dealer
or chimney sweep). Use a hand brush and/or an ash vacuum (specialty
traders) to remove the debris. The chimney should be cleaned at regular
