INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS IN SMOKE CONTROL AREAS
Installation in a smoke control area requires the additional assembling / installation of the "Dam-
per control unit" which must be installed by the installer. See drawing and picture on page 35.
LIGHTING INSTRUCTION
The first time
The first time the stove is lit is must be done gently as all the materials need to get use to the
heat. The Senotherm varnish that the stove is painted with will harden the first couple of times
the stove is heated, and it may cause some odour nuisances. So make sure that you have proper
ventilation. Do not touch the painted surface, when the stove is hot. The painting has to harden
up first.
Use of the stove
Below is the procedure used for testing/approval of the stove. It is this procedure that will lead to
the best combustion for the given chimney. Firewood amount and damper setting can be adjusted
to the individual need for heating and the draught in the chimney.
On your new TT23 the work with controlling the air input has been simplified so there is only one
damper (below the door).
Between the left position and the middle position you have the normal working area where you
control the air input.
No air = left position and
Maximum air = middle position.
As help for lighting the damper can be pushed completely to the right. This start help adds some
air from below an ensures faster lighting. After a few minutes the damper is returned to the nor-
mal working position (between the left and middle position).
Lighting and continuous firing at CE/EN-testing
1. The damper/start-up device can be opened (the damper is pushed to the right) for a few mi-
nutes at lighting. Put about 12-15 kindling sticks (dia. 2-5 cm) in the bottom of the stove, laid in
a criss-cross pattern as a log house. Put 2 firelighters in the middle and light them.
2. Leave the door ajar so there is an opening of about 1 cm (TT23 see page 63). Leave the stove
like that for about 5 minutes before you close the door completely. Stay by the stove as long as
the door is ajar. The damper must now be set/placed in the working area (middle position).
3. When the fire has burned to embers (there are no more flames) open the door gently so the
ash is not whirled out through the door. Gently spread out the embers with a poker so they are
even.
4. Put 2-3 pieces of firewood in the stove (length about 22cm), about 1,5 kg total. The pieces
are put in the bottom of the stove and parallel to the front of the stove with equal distance to the
stove's sides and with mutual distance of about 1 cm. The front piece is best lit if it has a split
side that is turned to the door and one in the embers. Close the door completely immediately.
Make sure you don't overfill the chamber, max. 17 cm from the bottom plate of the combustion
chamber.
5. The damper is opened so it is about 2/3 open to fully open (between the left and middle
position) and after about 5-10 minutes the damper can be set to about 1/3 open. How much the
damper should be open depends on the individual chimney's draught, but the flames should now
stabilise to a calm fire. It is important that the fire gets enough air to secure clean and efficient
heating.
6. When the wood has burned to embers (after about 45-60) you start again from point 3.
MAINTENANCE – always use original parts
Maintenance and cleaning of the stove should only be performed when the stove is cold.
The daily maintenance is limited, but once a year the stove should get thorough maintenance.
The combustion chamber should be cleaned for ashes and soot and the door hinges and the clo-
sing mechanism should be lubricated.
The surface is maintained by brushing it with a soft, long-haired brush or by using the vacuum
cleaner with a brush. The stove can also be dusted with a duster. Always remember: only when
the stove is cold. Do not use water or chemicals.
