User manual HASE OLBIA

[. . . ] Dear Hase customer, In deciding on a Hase stove, you have purchased a top quality product. It goes without saying that we only use first-rate materials and process them with superior craftsmanship and the greatest care and precision. At our headquarters in Trier, Germany, we put our love of detail into every stove we develop and manufacture, thus ensuring that they meet the highest standards in design, functionality, and eco-friendliness. The well-balanced design, state-of-the-art production processes, as well as our efficient and environmentally-friendly combustion technology will let you keep enjoying your Hase stove for years to come. [. . . ] When adding more fuel, please do not exceed the maximum fuel load size of 1, 7 kg. Exceeding the maximum fuel load size leads to a danger of overheating, which can result in damage to the stove and the risk of a stove fire. Regulating the Combustion Air To effectively guide the required volume of air to the right places, a customized air flow system has been developed for your Hase stove. When lighting the fire and adding fuel, you can use the primary air and secondary slider to regulate the combustion air. 1 Primary Air The primary air is guided through the grate and into the fire box from below, which allows the stove to reach the required fire box temperature more quickly during the warming up phase. During shipment, condensation moisture can accumulate in the stove's interior, which may possibly lead to the appearance of condensation or water on the stove or flue pipes. The surface of your stove was treated in a sandblasting machine before applying the colour coating. Despite careful and thorough inspection, there may still be some residual material in the stove body, which can fall out when your stove is being installed. To prevent any damage, please immediately vacuum up these small steel pellets with a vacuum cleaner. The first time a stove is operated, the heat development causes the emission of volatile components from the coating, sealing strips and lubricants, and smoke and odours can occur. At a higher combustion temperature, this one-time process can take between 4 to 5 hours. To achieve this higher combustion temperature, please increase the fuel quantity recommended in Section 14, , , Adding Fuel/ Heating with Nominal Thermal Output", by approximately 25%. To prevent adverse effects on health, nobody should stay in the room(s) during this process unless absolutely necessary. Make sure the room is well-ventilated and open the windows and outside doors. If the maximum temperature is not reached during the first heating operation, you may notice an odour for a short period of time the next time the stove is used as well. Lighting the Fire The firing up phase should be as short as possible, since higher emissions can occur during this phase. The slider settings described in Table 1 (see figure on the right) are recommendations that were determined under conformance testing conditions, in compliance with the relevant standard. Please ensure that the air supply path for the primary air between the ash drawer and the bottom of the ash compartment remains clear. In a wood fire, however, these processes occur both consecutively and simultaneously. 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. Emptying the Ash Drawer As a safety precaution, please make sure to wait until the ashes are cold before you dispose of them. While the ash collects during the fire, the lid is located under the ash drawer. [. . . ] Your authorised Hase dealer carries the stove lacquer spray and can give you tips on using it. 2 Flue Gas Paths The stove and flue pipes should be inspected for sediment and deposits at the end of each year's heating period (even more often if required, e. To clean the flue-gas channels remove the upper heatresisting slab and the deflectors, if present (see Instructions for Installation and Maintenance). Use a flexible pipe brush to clean the flue pipe at the cleaning port located on the flue pipe. [. . . ]
