Recycling of the refractory glass
Refractory glass cannot be recycled. Old glass,
breakage or otherwise unusable refractory glass, must
be discarded as residual waste. Refractory glass has a
higher melting temperature, and can therefore not be
recycled together with glass. In case it would be mixed
with ordinary glass, it would damage the raw material
and could, in worst case end the recycling of glass. It is
an important contribution to the environment to ensure
that refractory glass does not end up with the recycling
of ordinary glass.
Packaging Recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.
Burning Rhythm
A heat storing product should not be burned in too
aggressively as this may damage the product. In
order to get the most out of a heat storing product, it is
therefore important to optimise the burning rhythm and
the size of the loads. Read the combustion rates and
load sizes that apply to your product.
Advice on Lighting a Fire
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, paraffin, methylated spirits or similar for
lighting a fire. This could cause injury to you as
well as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid
wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition
this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of creosote
and chimney
fire.
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Burning
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
18
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very
quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely high
temperature (when burning with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never fill the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
It is recommended to keep an even fire with a small
amount of wood. If too many logs are put on the hot
ember, the air supply will not be sufficient for reaching
the require temperature, and the gases will be released
unburnt. For this reason it is important to increase the
air supply just after adding the logs in order to have
proper flames in the burn chamber so that the gases
are burnt.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the stove. Wood
species have different degrees of hardness - the higher
the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch havest the highest degree of
hardness.
NB! We do not recommend the use of fuel briquettes /
compact wood in our combustion chambers, as these
products may develop significantly higher temperature
than the combustion chamber can withstand. Burning
briquettes / compact wood is at your own risk and can
cause invalidity of the warranty.
NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood,
plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons,
printed material or similar. If any of these items
are used as fuel the warranty is invalid.
Common to these materials is that they during
combustion can form hydrochloric acid and
heavy metals that are harmful to the environment,
you and the stove. Hydrochloric acid can also
corrode the steel in the chimney or masonry in
a masonry chimney. Also, avoid burning bark,
sawdust or other extremely fine wood, apart from
when lighting a fire. This form of fuel can easily
cause a flashover that can lead to temperatures
that are too high.
Warning: Make sure the stove is not overheated
- it can cause irreparable damage to the product.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
