User manual WANDERS VEROX

[. . . ] Dear Client, Congratulations on your new wood-burning stove, which will be a comfortable source of heat to enjoy for many years on end. With its unique design you can view the Véro from all corners of the room. When designing this fireplace we took particular care regarding the ease of use, the operational safety and the design. The Véro is developed and produced at our own factory in Netterden (the Netherlands) and is for the greater part handmade. [. . . ] It helps when the wind near the chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney. Fall wind may give the opposite effect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long flue 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 flue tube. 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 fire. It will also preclude fire damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from softwood. Do not put more than 3 logs on the fire at one time. Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on. a crackling fire 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 fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform or crack as a result of sudden or great differences in temperature. [. . . ] Please mind your back and the floor during installation!If you detect any visible damage, please notify the supplier. You will have 2 different boxes for the standing model (1 box for the stove, and 1 box for the base). Turn the stove carefully on its backside (put something underneath to protect the floor) Take the base from the box. [. . . ]
