Lighting After A Longer Break; Chimney Fire; Lighting With Waste Products; Bio-Briquettes - TermaTech TT70 Montage- Und Bedienungsanleitung

5.3. Lighting after a longer break

If the stove has not been in use for a long time, the chimney should be checked for possible
blockage before lighting (birds nest etc.). Furthermore, it is a good idea to remove any dust from
the wood-burning stove as it might smell after a long break.

5.4. Chimney fire

In the event of a chimney fire the doors, drawers and dampers of the wood-burning stove must
be closed immediately in order to cut the oxygen supply. The relevant authorities must be notified
if necessary. The stove and chimney must not be used until the chimney has been inspected.

5.5. Lighting with waste products

Lighting with waste products like pressure treated wood, chipboard, coloured brochure or glossy
paper is not allowed in the wood-burning stove. They develop hydrochloric acid and heavy metals
which cause damage to the stove and to the environment. The warranty is annulled if the above
is used in the stove.

5.6. Bio-briquettes

Bio-briquettes can be used but they create a lot of ash and dust. Put in max. 2 kg. at a time.
Please note that the stove is not approved for bio-briquettes/wood briquettes at the Technological
Institute of Denmark.

5.7. Energy coal

Energy coal may not be used in the wood-burning stove as it contains a lot of Sulphur which
wears on the stove, the chimney and the environment. The life of the stove and chimney will be
significantly reduced by using this firing type and the right to claim compensation for the product
will be annulled.

5.8. Firewood storage

We recommend storing the wood under a roof however with good ventilation, perhaps in a carport
or shed. Always place the wood on a wooden pallet or the like so that it is off the ground. Fresh
wood that has been sawed and split must be stored for about 1-2 years in order to be used as
fuel. (in the stove). This is done to ensure that the wood will contain the right amount of moisture
of approx. 12-20%. The moisture content of the wood can be easily measured with a Termatech
moisture meter, which is available at your dealer (item number 92-158).

5.9. The Ashes

The ashes can be put in the rubbish bin for garbage collection. The ashes should be cooled for
about 2 days before placing it in the rubbish bin as there might still be embers.
6.0. Malfunctions and help
Below is a list of the most common malfunctions using a wood-burning stove.

6.1. The stove is difficult to control

Incident
• It burns too fast
Solution
• Close the start-up air (put air-control-handle in the middle) or possibly turn down the opera-
ting air (push air-control-handle from the middle towards left).
• Read and follow the user and installation guide.
• If the stove is more than 1 year or has been used heavily then the joints/gaskets need to
be checked and possibly changed. The joints/gaskets get worn and the heat which will make
them loose their ability to keep the door sealed.
• If there is a heavy draft in the chimney it may be necessary to fit a damper in the chimney to
control the draft. Possibly contact your dealer.

6.2. The stove burns badly/the chimney draft is poor

Incident
• The chimney draft is poor after installation.
Solution
• Read and follow the user and installation guide
• Is there sufficient embers (to light the newly placed wood)
• Was minimum 2 pieces of wood placed in the stove?
• Is the wood dry (maximum 20% moisture)?
• Is the air-control-handle fully open? (In the middle or right for max. up to 10 minutes)
