[. . . ] Dear Hase customer, In deciding on a Hase stove, you have purchased a top quality product. It goes without saying that we only use first-rate materials and process them with superior craftsmanship and the greatest care and precision. At our headquarters in Trier, Germany, we put our love of detail into every stove we develop and manufacture, thus ensuring that they meet the highest standards in design, functionality, and eco-friendliness. The well-balanced design, state-of-the-art production processes, as well as our efficient and environmentally-friendly combustion technology will let you keep enjoying your Hase stove for years to come. [. . . ] (with brown coal briquettes 1 briquette with a total of approx. Regulating the Combustion Air To effectively guide the required volume of air to the right places, a customized air flow system has been developed for your Hase stove. When lighting the fire and adding fuel, you can use the primary air and secondary slider to regulate the combustion air. 1 Primary Air The primary air is guided through the grate and into the fire box from below, which allows the stove to reach the required fire box temperature more quickly during the warming up phase. To prevent adverse effects on health, nobody should stay in the room(s) during this process unless absolutely necessary. Make sure the room is well-ventilated and open the windows and outside doors. If needed, use a fan for faster air circulation. If the maximum temperature is not reached during the first heating operation, you may notice an odour for a short period of time the next time the stove is used as well. Lighting the Fire The firing up phase should be as short as possible, since higher emissions can occur during this phase. The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure on the right) are recommendations that were determined under conformance testing conditions, in compliance with the relevant standard. Depending on the weather conditions and the draught capability of your chimney, accordingly adjust the slider positions for your Como to the local conditions. The Como may only be operated when the fire box door is closed; the fire box door may only be opened to add fuel. Pile up any remaining ash and unburned Charcoal into the centre of the combustion chamber. Place 2-3 small logs into the middle of the fire box; stack approx. Light the ignition material at several places. Pull primary and secondary air slider all the way out. During shipment, condensation moisture can accumulate in the stove's interior, which may possibly lead to the appearance of condensation or water on the stove or flue pipes. please dry off these damp areas imme diately. The surface of your stove was treated in a sandblasting machine before applying the colour coating. Despite careful and thorough inspection, there may still be some residual material in the stove body, which can fall out when your stove is being installed. Piled up ashes can impair or even block the supply of primary air supply to the stove. Please ensure that the air supply path for the primary air between the ash drawer and the bottom of the ash compartment remains clear. [. . . ] The heat-resisting slabs have to be replaced if parts break off and the back wall of the fire box, located behind the slabs, becomes visible. Tears or cracks in the heat-resisting slabs do not impair the functioning of your stove. To prevent damaging the heat-resisting slabs, place logs carefully in the fire box and do not let them fall against the walls of the fire box. The sealing strips are wearing parts and thus have to be replaced in line with the frequency of use. [. . . ]
