How The Air Valve Works; The Best Way To Burn Your Stove - WANDERS Peppel Bedienungsanleitung Und Montagevorschriften

GB
When the larger blocks have created a bed of glowing embers, you can add additional wood. (Try to lay the pieces of wood
loosely so the fl ames can develop around them). To refi ll the wood-burning stove, unlock the door. Use gloves when doing
this. Wait a few seconds before fully opening the door. This reduces the risk of fl ue gases entering the room.
When the fl ames in the wood-burning stove are high, place the air valve into the middle position for the highest effi ciency.
The wood-burning stove will then burn cleaner and you will not need to refi ll it so often.

How the air valve works

The air slider has three settings, i.e.
1. when slid completely to the right; the primary, secondary and tertiary air supply will be open.
2. when in the middle; only the secondary and tertiary air supply will be open, the furnace will now have the highest
effi ciency and the window pane rinser will work best.
3. when slid all the way to the left; all air supply will be closed off and the furnace will slowly shut down.
It is prohibited to light the stove with liquids like petrol or spirits.
Do not have the cooker hood on in the room where you operate your stove.
Never touch the varnished parts when you heat your stove.
Avoid fi nger marks
Do not touch the glass of the stove with your fi ngers. Finger marks will burn into the glass and cannot be removed
later.

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 80%. 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 fi re. It
will also preclude fi re damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from softwood.
• Do not put more than 2 logs on the fi re at one time. Too much fuel at one time thwarts effi cient combustion and burdens
the environment unnecessarily.
• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on. A crackling fi re 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 fi re suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform or crack as a
result of sudden or great diff erences in temperature.
• Please shut the valve clack of the air valve to put out the fl ames.
