12 Operation

12.1 Before heating up

The stove can only function properly if there is sufficient combustion air coming to the room of installa-
tion (the appliance), specially if several firing installations are being operated at the same time. Ensure
sufficient air supply before heating up. Open the combustion air flap on the stove and keep it open for
the entire combustion period.
Devices for the supply of combustion air must not be modified.

12.2 Making fire correctly

To ensure the stove operates correctly and safely, it is important that the chimney generates the re-
quired draft. This must be checked in particular for each initial commissioning (e.g. after summertime)
and in the transitional periods (e.g. when the wind is strong). If there is insufficient required draft, then
paper or softwood chips can first be burnt in order to bring stove and chimney flue to temperature.
The air inlet of the stove must not be closed.
