mode of operation
CAUTION! Because of the smoke you can expect to be generated when using the device, you
should always wear suitable breathing protection!
CAUTION! Never direct the hot air flow onto the power cable! The cable may not come into
contact with the hot air nozzle (1) or embers as this may melt the insulation of the cable. This
may cause electrical shock!
The hot air device allows you to shorten the time needed to create the embers needed to start
a fire.
Create a pyramid of charcoal. Switch on the hot air nozzle (1) and hold it close up against the
lower pieces of charcoal. If sparks start to fly, increase the gap. Ignite the charcoal in several
different places until the embers are covered with a grey/white coating of ash.
CAUTION! Ensure that smoke is drawn off well!
Scrunch up balls of newspaper and place on the hearth. Arrange a pyramid of thin and then
thicker logs over the top. Hold the hot air nozzle (1) up against the paper. As soon as the paper
ignites, increase the gap. Accelerate the ignition of the wood from a greater distance by simu-
lating bellows.
CAUTION! Prevent sparks from generating and flying!
