User manual WANDERS SOLEA ELEGANCE

[. . . ] Dear Client, Congratulations on your new wood-burning stove, which will be a comfortable source of heat to enjoy for many years on end. When designing this fireplace we took particular care regarding the ease of use, the operational safety and the design. The Solea is developed and produced at our own factory in Netterden (the Netherlands) and is for the greater part handmade. Only the best materials are used for the construction and comply with current international standards. [. . . ] When the door is closed, the high heat will melt the paraffin from the logs too quickly. The polluted flue gasses which consequently develop will deposit on and burn in the glass of your stove and cannot be removed later. Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued together or processed in any other way. The flue gases are very harmful to the environment and may affect your stove. It is also prohibited to burn plastics and other waste matter due to poisonous smoke development. Heat can be produced and may damage the stove permanently. After the fire is extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be inspected again by your installer. the chimney is the most important part of your woodburning 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 qualified chimney sweep must check whether the chimney flue has a diameter of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length, and whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof. 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 well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are a few tips to give you optimum pleasure: the stove is fuelled with wood. 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 fire. It will also preclude fire damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from softwood. Never put on your cooking hood when you have a stove burning in the same space. 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. [. . . ] Avoid heat transmission when placing the stove. Heat transmission of a burning stove can penetrate the wall and even cause fire damage on the other side of the wall.
