Irony Fireplace 3 5 english
Floor load capacity
Make sure that the load capacity of the supporting
construction is sufficient to carry the weight of the
entire unit
, before the heating unit is installed.
Combustion air
Being the user of the stove you must take care of a
sufficient combustion air supply. Sealed-up windows
and doors may not allow a sufficient combustion air
supply or disturb the draught behaviour of your stove.
Please ensure the additional supply of fresh
combustion air if necessary. For details please
consult your specialist retailer
Stove pipe connection
For your own safety stringent laws apply for
connecting the stove pipes to the chimney. Your
professional dealer or distributor knows these laws.
Please have your ceritified retailer carry out the
connection of your stove..
3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
Approved fuels
Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood
preferred), wood briquettes.
Maximum amount of fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 2,5 kg wood
or 2,5 kg wood briquettes
. Larger amounts of fuel
can lead to overheating and thus damage the stove.
Clean burning
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture
< 15%) and untreated and the right amount of wood
must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that
releases only small amounts of emissions.
Making a fire
Prepare everything you need for starting the fire soft
wood chips, igniter materials (such as Austroflamm
lighter), wood. Figure 1 provides a good overview of
the quantity of the materials you will need.
Open the air slider all the way. See figure 2.
Open the stove door.
Put ignition aid on the floor of the firebox.
Lay soft wood chips onto the paper.
Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips.
Figure 3: igniting the fire
Light the ignition aid. Close the firebox door.
Figure 4: regulate the air slider
As soon as the wood logs are burning well, you can
regulate the heating capacity with the air slider (slider
set to the maximum (“AUF”) setting produces
maximum heat – see figure 2.).
When adding wood to the fire, follow the same
procedure as when igniting the fire: Open the air
slider, carefully open firebox door, lay wood on the
fire, close the firebox door.
Wait until the added wood catches fire and is
burning. Then regulate the air slider again.
Heating in-between seasons
Heating the stove in between seasons, when the
outside temperatures are higher, the flue gases may
not be able to escape completely and this may lead to
disturbances in the chimney draught, especially if the
temperatures are rising suddenly. The stove has to
be charged with less wood and the primary air has to
be increased so that the wood can burn down faster
(with visible flames) and thus the chimney flue can
stabilize.
