TermaTech TT10 Montage- Und Bedienungsanleitung Seite 22

Bio-briquettes can be used, but they develop a lot of ash and dust.
Put in max. 2 kg per hour.
Energy coke must not be used as it contains a lot of sulphur which wears on a stove, the chimney
and the environment. The life of stove and chimney will be significantly reduced by using this firing
type and the right to claim compensation for the product is void.
Storage of the firewood is best under a roof, however with good ventilation, e.g. in a carport or
under a shed roof. Place the wood on a wooden pallet or the like so it is free from the ground. Fresh
wood that has been sawed and split must be stored for about 1-2 years this way until the moisture
in the wood is down to 15-20%.
The ashes can be put in the rubbish bin for garbage collection. The ashes should always have
cooled for 1-2 days before it is put in the rubbish bin, as there might still be embers that can light
garbage or a garbage bag.
Regulation and smoke damper:
If one is fixed in the chimney it should not close of more than 80% of the internal diameter of the
chimney.
MALFUNCTIONS
If problems should occur with the use of the stove the cause can possibly be found below. If not,
then you are always welcome to contact your dealer.
The stove is difficult to control – it burns too fast
If the stove is new, then check that the directions have been followed.
If the stove is more than 1 year old or if it has been used heavily, then the jointings may need to
be changed. If the jointings sit for too long the heat makes them lose their ability to keep the stove
sealed.
Check that the ashpan is closed completely.
If there is heavy draught in the chimney it may be necessary to fit a damper in it.
The stove has poor draught after installation
Check that the mounting instructions have been followed. It is especially the conditions surrounding
the chimney that may cause problems. Are diameter and length okay, is it sealed, are smoke pipe
and junctions sealed? Is the cleaning hatch sealed? You may need to contact a chimney sweep to
remedy the problem as the chimney may be blocked.
Smoke at soot smell
This can be caused by down-draught in the chimney and most often happens in specific wind di-
rections. The chimney may be too short for the ridge or trees may have grown and are creating
turbulence.
Remember not to open the door while there are flames.
The stove is difficult to light and may die out
There may be a number of causes. The most typical are:
• The damper is not sufficiently open.
• The firewood is too wet.
• The draught in the chimney is too small or maybe it is blocked or leaking.
• The ember layer was too small/incinerated and did not give enough heat to light the logs. Pos-
sibly give some start-up air to the fire by opening the damper (pushed down and to the right)
to get the stove going again. Then the damper has to be closed again (back to position between
left and the middle).
Depending on the problem it may be necessary to contact the dealer, installer or a chimney sweep.
The glass soots up
• The wood is too moist.
• Lack of draught in the chimney.
• Check that the damper is not closed.
• Door is closed too early at lighting (point 3 section 2).
