User manual AUSTRO FLAMM FLOK

[. . . ] Placing non-heat-resistant objects on the heating unit or in the vicinity of the heating unit is forbidden. Do not lay laundry onto the stove for drying. Laundry hung up to dry must be kept at a safe distance from the stove because of the danger of fire. Standards, local and building regulations as well as fire prevention laws must be observed during the operation of the stove. [. . . ] Your professional dealer or distributor knows these laws. Please have your certified retailer carry out the connection of your stove. 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. Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood preferred), wood briquettes. The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture < 15%) and untreated and the right amount of wood must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that releases only small amounts of emissions. As soon as the wood logs are burning well, you can regulate the heating capacity with the 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 the air slider, carefully open firebox door, lay wood on the fire, close the firebox door. Prepare everything you need for starting the fire soft wood chips, igniter materials (such as Austroflamm lighter), wood. Figure 1 provides a good overview of the quantity of the materials you will need. Put ignition aid on the floor of the firebox. Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips. Wait until the added wood catches fire and is burning. Heating the stove in between seasons, when the outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may not be able to escape completely and this may lead to disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the temperatures are rising suddenly. The stove has to be charged with less wood and the primary air has to be increased so that the wood can burn down faster (with visible flames) and thus the chimney flue can stabilize. A chimney fire may occur, due to sooting and deposits in the chimney, if wrong or humid fuel is used. Close all air inlets on the fireplace/chimney immediately and call the fire brigade. Please have an expert inspect your chimney for cracks and airtightness after the burning out of the chimney.
