The best way to burn your stove

All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a

maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can

produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need

less wood for the same amount of heat. Moreover, a

well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are

a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:

• Always burn your stove with its door closed; this

will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When

the door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw

more air than is needed for proper combustion. The

relatively cold air will cool the re. It will also preclude

re damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from

softwood.

• Do not put more than 3 logs on the re at one time. Too

much fuel at one time thwarts ecient combustion

and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on.

A crackling re has a minimum air consumption of

25 cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking

hood when you have a stove burning in the same

space.

• Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy

or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly

any draught in the cold chimney when the weather

is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the

chance of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy

weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools

quickly and may descend and become a nuisance in

your neighbourhood.

• Don’t smother the re suddenly with water, but let it

burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform

or crack as a result of sudden or great dierences in

temperature.

Chimney and ue

The chimney is the most important part of your wood-

burning hearth.

When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke

into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane or

create bad combustion. Before starting the installation

of the stove, your installer or a qualied chimney sweep

must check whether the chimney ue has a diameter

of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length, and

whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

• It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three

centimetres. It will protect the re plate.

• Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth

that does not give o u. Do not use any aggressive

cleansing agents or abrasives.

• Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for

ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass

with your ngers. Finger marks burn into the glass.

• Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives

to maintain your stove.

When the stove is not used

• Close all doors and air inlets in summer season

• Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a

humid space.

Yearly maintenance

• Have your chimney properly cleaned by a qualied

chimney sweeper every year; this is for safety reasons

and any re insurance.

• Have the ue gas outlet and the combustion air supply

of the double-walled ue tube system checked for air-

tightness every year.

• Have the complete ue system checked every year;

this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just

outside the wall.

• Have the valves and/or aps checked for their

functioning.

• Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for

wear and tear.

Safety

A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a

comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home. Fire

safety starts with a proper installation and a properly

working ue tube. Your installer must therefore comply

Chimney with a proper draught

Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of

every chimney. It helps when the wind near the

chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.

Fall wind may give the opposite eect and blow

the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold

foggy air may thwart proper draught in your

chimney as does a long ue pipe with a rough

inside and many bends. If the natural draught in

your chimney is poor your installer can give you

information about using a ventilator for your ue

tube.

What to do in case of chimney re.

In case of chimney re, immediately close the

shut-o valve in the chimney and all air supply

ducts. Call the re department. After the re is

extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be

inspected again by your installer.
