Some Things Worth Knowing About The Smoke Pipe - wiking Miro 1 Installations- Und Bedienungsanleitung

Lighting
1 . Moving the regulating lever to the extreme left fully opens the air supply to the combustion
chamber .
2. Stack 8-16 finely split pieces of firewood, corresponding to 1-2 kg, inside the wood-burning
stove . The smaller the sticks, the shorter the time needed for the stove to be heated and for
the optimal combustion temperature to be achieved. The firewood should not be stacked
higher than up to the "MAX" mark in the vermiculite rear plate .
3. Place two firelighters between the top layer of kindling. WIKING recommends using high-
quality firelighters, as they do not produce smoke or odours.
4. Light the firelighters. Keep the door ajar for a couple of minutes Then close the door com-
pletely .
5. When the wood has caught fire properly, the air supply can be gradually reduced by moving
the regulating lever to the right until uniform, steady combustion is achieved .
Warning: The door may only be kept open when lighting, adding firewood or cleaning the
wood-burning stove; otherwise combustion becomes too powerful, which in turn increases the
risk of the stove becoming overheated .
Firing (Adding Firewood)
When there are no more visible flames and only a solid layer of embers remains, more fuel
can be added to the fire.
1 . Carefully open the door to prevent smoke and embers from escaping .
2. Lay 2-4 pieces of split firewood (approximately 1-2 kg) on top of the embers. The firewood
should not be stacked higher than up to the "MAX" mark in the vermiculite rear plate .
3 . Keep the door ajar for a couple of minutes .
4 . Shut the door again and fully open the air supply by moving the regulating lever to the extreme
left .
5. When the wood has caught fire properly, the air supply can be gradually reduced by moving
the regulating lever to the right until uniform, steady combustion is achieved . The further to
the right the regulating lever is moved, the less heat the stove will give off . But it is important
not to regulate the air supply below a level at which there are still visible flames and steady
combustion .
Warning: During combustion, the stove's surfaces and door become extremely hot - exercise
great caution .

Some Things Worth Knowing about the Smoke Pipe

Description of the Smoke Pipe's Function
The smoke pipe is the duct located between your wood-burning stove and chimney . Your
WIKING wood-burning stove is equipped with an exhaust pipe 150 mm in diameter . If your stove
is to be connected to a brick chimney, it is best to mount a curved smoke pipe to the stove's
top outlet . This solution - in which the smoke pipe extends a half meter over the stove before
connecting to the chimney - provides your home with 1 kW of extra warmth . The curved shape
ensures minimum soot build-up in the pipe and thereby lessens the risk of chimney fires. We
only recommend this solution provided that your brick chimney is completely sealed and has
a sufficient draft. You can read more on the chimney in the next section.
