Westbo WeRa Fire advise
Safety
Westbo WeRa is tested according to the DIN standard DIN
13240.
The stove is room air dependent, i.e., the combustion air is
consumed from the installation room. Make sure that an ade-
quate air supply is ensured.
The stove is equipped with a control for supply air to the com-
bustion and is located above the rebox.
Observe the distances to ammable objects. Do not leave
paper, newspapers or other combustible materials near the
stove.
The stove can be hot!
Risk of burns on all surfaces: combustion chamber door, door
and control handles, smoke pipes and the front of the stove.
Do not leave children unattended near the stove.
Empty the ashes
Never drain ash into a combustible vessel, preferably use a
sheet metal vessel with a tight tting lid. There may be ember
residues in the ashes several days after the end of the re.
Smell
At the rst ring, some odors may appear.
It is due to certain coatings on the plate that are burned off.
The smell disappears after a couple of bonres.
First re
We advise you to use ignition pads or equivalent. With
the help of these, there will be a quick over ignition of the
wood and a cleaner combustion.
Never use lighter uid.
At rst ignition, the supply air control shall be fully opened.
Put in about 1-2 kilograms of kindling wood (thin logs).
Put a 2-3 kindling pads on top and light on. Close the
door when the re has started. With this method, there
will be a quick over ignition and it minimizes soot coating
on the glass.
When lling wood, carefully open the door so that smoke
rash is avoided. Never ll up with wood as long as it burns
a lot.
Continuous ring
It is important to get the right temperature in the replace.
Then the stove and wood are utilized to the maximum
and there will be a clean combustion. Soot coating in the
rebox and on the glass is also avoided.
When red correctly, the smoke should not be visible, but
only perceived as a dripping in the air.
In the case of a good ember bed after the ignition pha-
se, the actual ring can begin with the right amount of
rewood.
Now adjust the supply air control relative to the draught
in the chimney. It should burn well, if it is strangled too
much, there is a risk of soot coating in the rebox, as well
as sooting on the glass.
Recommend amount of wood
We recommend smaller wood logs, that can be placed in
the stove. Length of wood is approximately 20 cm and at
the most 3 kg. The maximum amount of wood allowed is
approximately 3 kg per hour for dry cut birch wood.
Sweeping
Sweeping should be done by the Chimney sweeper.
Sweeping of the stove can be done by scraping down
and/or brushing. To collect the ashes, the most suitable
is to use a soot vacuum cleaner.
Chimney re
If a chimney re occurs or is feared, dampers and hatches
must be closed. If necessary, contact emergency services
for extinguishing. After a chimney re, the chimney must
always be inspected.
