National and European norms
The regulations in force at the time in question, including those that refer to
national and European standards, must be respected when installing the wood-
burning stove. Contact your local dealer for further advice and guidance in
connection with mounting. Notify your Hetas installer before you use your
wood-burning stove. It must be ensured that there is sufficient airflow for the
combustion in the stove, so care must be taken concerning closely shut
windows and doors that may hinder the flow of air to the combustion.
Safety references
The surface of the stove as well as knobs, handle, window, smoke pipe, etc.
become very hot when the stove is in use. Touching these parts without
necessary protection (glove or other protective material) can lead to burns.
Remember to make children aware of this danger and make sure to keep them
away from the wood-burning stove when it is in use. For this purpose
TermaTech offers various grates for the protection of children. (Ask your
dealer)
Allowed in the wood-burning stove
Only use dry and clean wood for combustion in the wood-burning stove.
Maximum size of logs used in the stove is up to 30 cm in length and 10 cm in
diameter.
Only use dry wood. The burning of waste, synthetic materials and other
treated or impregnated materials is not allowed as it is very hazardous to the
environment. Furthermore the stove and the chimney will be damaged by
these materials. There is a danger of emission of unhealthy substances which
can also lead to complaints from neighbours.
Dry and clean wood has a maximum of 20% water which is achieved with
outdoor storage for between 1 year (soft wood) and 2 years (hard wood). The
wood must be in contact with air during storage so the moisture can get out of
the wood.
Firewood is not meant to ”burn overnight”. Never close off the airflow
completely, instead let the fire die out and light it again when you need it.
We warn against closing off the airflow completely. The wood-burning stove
can only burn sensibly and environmentally friendly if there is sufficient airflow
for the combustion.
Cleaning and checks
The wood-burning stove and the smoke pipe should be checked and cleaned
once a year.
