Combustion Air Supply
It is important for good and clean burning that adequate air be supplied to the
fire. To allow for this, it is, however, a condition that air be supplied to the
room in which the stove has been set up.
Certainly most rooms will have sufficient air, not least if some of the doors
between the rooms of the house are open. In special cases, an air valve may
have to be put in the exterior wall of the room in which the stove has been put
up.
Floor
When placing your new Lotus stove on the floor, it should be put on a non-
combustible plate, for instance of steel or stone material. This plate should be
so large as to reach a minimum of 30 cm in front of the stove, and 15 cm at
each side of the fireplace opening.
Chimney Sweep
When your new oven has been mounted, do remember to report the installation
to the chimney sweep. The installation is to be inspected by the local chimney
sweep, and in the years ahead the chimney should be cleaned at least once a
year or as needed.
Use of Stove
Kindling Wood
Kindling wood is the designation for finely split small wood/sticks some 20-23
cm long and having a thickness of about 3x3 to 4x4 cm.
Pieces of Firewood
Birch, beech, oak, ash, elm, conifers as well as fruit trees are all suitable for
being chopped into firewood. Though conifers and some fruit trees do contain
much resin, these may also be used, with closed doors.
Pressure impregnated wood, chipboard, coloured leaflets or glazed paper are,
however, not suitable for being used as firewood. They will develop
hydrochlorid acid or heavy metals much to the detriment of your stove and to
the environment.
