User manual WANDERS VEROX

[. . . ] Dear Client, Congratulations on your new wood-burning stove, which will be a comfortable source of heat to enjoy for many years on end. With its unique design you can view the Véro from all corners of the room. When designing this fireplace we took particular care regarding the ease of use, the operational safety and the design. The Véro is developed and produced at our own factory in Netterden (the Netherlands) and is for the greater part handmade. [. . . ] Softer woods like spruce, fir and poplar give more flames but less heat and less charcoal. The best place to store timber is in a windy spot but sheltered from the rain. Frame to let the wood dry from underneath and to prevent the lower logs from being in contact with water. It helps when the wind near the chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney. Fall wind may give the opposite effect and blow the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as does a long flue pipe with a rough inside and many bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor your installer can give you information about using a ventilator for your flue tube. The best way to burn your stove All WANDERS' stoves are designed so that they give a maximum output. Below are a few tips to give you optimum pleasure: · Always burn your stove with its door closed; this will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When the door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw more air than is needed for proper combustion. It will also preclude fire damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from softwood. a crackling fire has a minimum air consumption of 25 cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking hood when you have a stove burning in the same space. Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly any draught in the cold chimney when the weather is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the chance of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools quickly and may descend and become a nuisance in your neighbourhood. Don't smother the fire suddenly with water, but let it burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform or crack as a result of sudden or great differences in temperature. Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth that does not give off fluff. Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for ceramic cooking rings. Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives to maintain your stove. [. . . ] If necessary, make an extra air supply opening as close to the stove as possible to avoid draught. An extra opening for air supply is always required if: · The space has a heat recovery system. The air supply opening must be closable if it goes through a fire-resistant wall. When there are several combustion devices in the same space there must be enough air openings to guarantee proper combustion. [. . . ]
