Low intensity fires cause tar
and creosote to deposit in
the chimney after a long
period of time. Tar and
creosote
are
highly
combustible
substances.
Thicker
layers
of
these
substances might catch fire
when the temperature in
the
chimney
increases
suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regularly burn very intensely, so
that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panels and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a few
hours a day.

Burning coal
FOR BURNING WITH COAL, THE AIR INTAKE ABOVE THE DOOR (2) (= SECONDARY AIR
INTAKE) AND THE AIR INTAKE AT THE BACK SIDE (3) MUST BE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES.
(For shutting the air intake at the back, the blocking slide must be positioned in such a
way that it shuts off the air intake.)
Burning coal without bunker
When the ignition fire has sufficie ntly stabilized and when there is a sufficient blaze,
then a scoop of coal can be added to the fire.
Use the front door when filling. Once the coals have ignited, the addition of coals can be
completed. Make sure that you do not put out the fire by addin g too much coal at once.
After the coals have been burning well for some time, adjust the level of the thermostat.
Just prior to refilling, open the thermostat completely. Now use the shaking grate and
shake until glowing bits fall into the ash drawer. After that, add coal.
After a couple of minutes, adjust the thermostat to the desired position. Add a
maximum amount of coal until you can just make out the glow of the previous filling.
Burning with coal with bunker (optional)
After sufficient burning of the ignition fire, the
bunker is filled with coal by way of the filling lid on
the top panel. After the coals have been burning
well, the thermostat is adjusted to the desired
position. The filling frequency depends upon the
desired performance. In order to leave the furnace
on during the night, the thermostat must be
adjusted to level 1, approximately. The correct
level depends on the chimney and the weather
conditions
