User manual HASE GRANADA

[. . . ] Dear Hase Customer, In deciding on a Hase stove, you have purchased a top quality product. In our stove factory in Trier, Germany, we develop and manufacture our stoves with the utmost care and precision, using only premium-quality materials. Harmonious design, state-of-the-art production methods as well as efficient and environmentally friendly combustion technology guarantee that you can enjoy your Hase stove for many years to come. The stove must be installed in accordance with the instructions and requirements stipulated by the respective national and European standards and local regulations. [. . . ] Therefore, for the sake of the environment, please observe the following closely. Due to the large fire chamber window of the Granada / Kyoto, it is particularly important to start the fire properly. Therefore, please ensure that you pay close attention to the instructions and information on the right side. Use only thoroughly dried wood, at best stored near the stove for several days (comply with safety distances). Adding Fuel (Wood) More fuel (wood) should be added to the fire during the burning off phase, when the flames from the previous burning off phase have just gone out. Open fire grate Slightly open ash drawer Pile up any remaining ash and unburned Charcoal into the centre of the combustion chamber. Once the wood is lit sufficiently on all sides close the ash drawer, and some 10-15 minutes later the primary air slide (I Set secondary air slide (II) later to ideal position (after around 15-20 min. Open fire box door Wood should be added when the flames of the prior fire are about to die Close fire box door Set primary air valve (I) to zero Close fire box door Do not attempt to slow down the combustion by reducing the air supply. Emptying the Ash Drawer For safety`s sake, please make sure that you only dispose of ashes once they are cold. Slide the lid onto the ash drawer so that it is closed; this prevents ashes from flying around, which in turn means your home stays clean. to place the ash drawer back into the stove , proceed in the reverse order. Piled up ashes can prevent or even block the primary air supply to the stove. Ensure that the ventilation path for the primary air between the ash drawer and the bottom of the ash compartment remains clear. When heating with wood, this can result in an incomplete burning process and pose the risk of explosive-like combustion of the accumulated wood gases (deflagration). In a wood fire, however, these processes take place both consecutively and simultaneously 14. For the evaporation to occur, the wood must be supplied with heat during the warming up phase; this is achieved by using small wood logs. 2 Degasification Phase At temperatures of between 100°C and 150°C, the contents of the wood start (slowly at first) to disintegrate and gasify and the wood begins its thermal decomposition. at temperatures above 150°C , the gas development increases strongly. The proportion of volatile components makes up around 80% of the wood substance. At a temperature of about 225°C (ignition temperature), the actual combustion begins with the ignition of the resulting gases and the release of heat. There must be an adequate supply of oxygen available for this purpose. The reaction process is now so rapid that the largest amount of heat is released at this point; flames can reach temperatures of up to 1100°C. [. . . ] Use a flexible pipe brush to clean the flue pipe at the cleaning port located on the flue pipe. If the flue pipe does not have a cleaning port, it can also be cleaned at the unused connection port. 3 Ceramic Glass Panels and Windows When the stove is properly operated, the secondary air simultaneously forms an air curtain at the pane, which prevents the glass from becoming sooty. If ash particles get on the ceramic glass panels, we recommend, as an alternative to conventional glass cleaners, a tried and true environmentally-friendly cleaning method: 64 For cleaning purposes, the entire glass front can be opened.
