dealer for further advice and guidance in connection with mounting. Notify your Hetas installer
before you use your wood-burning stove. It must be ensured that there is sufficient airflow for the
combustion in the stove, so care must be taken concerning closely shut windows and doors that
may hinder the flow of air to the combustion.

Safety references

The surface of the stove as well as knobs, handle, window, smoke pipe, etc. become very hot
when the stove is in use. Touching these parts without necessary protection (glove or other pro-
tective material) can lead to burns.
Remember to make children aware of this danger and make sure to keep them away from the
wood-burning stove when it is in use. For this purpose TermaTech offers various grates for the
protection of children. (Ask your dealer)
Allowed in the wood-burning stove
Only use dry and clean wood for combustion in the wood-burning stove.
Maximum size of logs used in the stove is up to 30 cm in length and 10 cm in diameter.
Maximum filling:
Wood must not be added to the wood-burning stove above the tertiary holes of the rearmost
vermiculite/insulation plates, corresponding to approximately 17 cm from the bottom plate of the
combustion chamber.
Only use dry wood. The burning of waste, synthetic materials and other treated or impregnated
materials is not allowed as it is very hazardous to the environment. Furthermore the stove and
the chimney will be damaged by these materials. There is a danger of emission of unhealthy sub-
stances which can also lead to complaints from neighbours.
Dry and clean wood has a maximum of 20% water which is achieved with outdoor storage for
between 1 year (soft wood) and 2 years (hard wood). The wood must be in contact with air du-
ring storage so the moisture can get out of the wood.
Firewood is not meant to burn overnight. Never close off the airflow completely, instead let the
fire die out and light it again when you need it.
We warn against closing off the airflow completely. The wood-burning stove can only burn sensi-
bly and environmentally friendly if there is sufficient airflow for the combustion.
Cleaning and checks
The wood-burning stove and the smoke pipe should be checked and cleaned once a year. The
chimney must also be cleaned by the chimney sweep that will set the necessary intervals for
cleaning / sweeping.
The wood-burning stove should be checked by a professional about once a year.
After the chimney sweep has cleaned the pipe, he will often clean the burner inside as well.

Combustion air

Combustion air is a precondition for a good and clean combustion.
The air is normally taken from the room where the wood-burning stove is mounted, however
in some circumstances it may be necessary to provide extra air in the room where the stove is
placed. This can e.g. be done by mounting an air valve in the room's outer wall. Air valves that
supply necessary combustion air must be kept free from blockage.
An exhaust fan in the same room or close to the wood-burning stove can also have a negative
effect on the combustion (at worst it can lead to exhaust gases in the room, even with the stove
door closed). Therefore, in the above case, the wood-burning stove and the exhaust fan must
never be in use at the same time.
The amount of air that must be used for combustion is approximately 8.5 m3/per kg. of firewood.
The TT23 models are available with combustion air branch, which has a connecting pipe/spigot of
Ø80mm, use an air hose of Ø80mm.
Ask your dealer for further information.

Adjustable feet

The enclosed adjustable feet are to be used if the floor is uneven or they can also be used to
create the impression that the stove is "flying" / "floating"
Distances to flammable materials
The stove must be put on a non inflammable foundation. This foundation must as a minimum
cover 150 mm on each side of the stove and 300 mm in front of the stove.
For inflammable material like inflammable walls made of wood, furniture, etc. the following mini-
mum distances apply for safety reasons
