1. TONWERK STORAGE HEATING STOVE – A SWISS QUALITY PRODUCT
Thank you for buying a Tonwerk storage heating stove – we are sure you will derive as much pleasure from our product as we do.
These instructions contain interesting and informative facts and all you need to know about the subjects of heating, wood, and operating your Tonwerk storage heating stove. Please read these instructions carefully before using your stove for the first time and keep them in a safe place.
WE ARE SATISFIED WITH OUR WORK WHEN YOU HAVE NO MORE QUESTIONS.
In our energy-conscious times we have made it our mission to extract the maximum possible energy from the raw material wood with the minimum pos­sible emissions. We want to utilise effectively wood, fire, and the heat they generate.
WE HAVE CREATED A LIVING SPACE FOR YOUR WOOD FIRE – THE TONWERK STORAGE HEATING STOVE!
Your Tonwerk storage heating stove never fails to fascinate with its extraor­dinary design and a hear t of the most innovative technology – handmade in
Switzerland!
1.1 THE STORAGE HEATING STOVE
The storage heating stove is a fireplace made of ceramic or natural stone. The energy or heat generated by burning wood is absorbed by the ceramic stor­age core. Once the wood has completely burned, this core, as a heat exchanger, radiates the stored energy in the form of heat at a carefully dosed rate, releas­ing it over its surface for an extended time into the environment.
1.2 THE RADIATED HEAT
The human organism responds to radiated heat with a particularly pleasant feeling. It is physiologically beneficial and soothing. Since prehistoric times humans have utilised and enjoyed radiated heat. It is transmitted by electromagnetic waves in the infrared range. Radiated heat travels through air without loss and without heating this. Not until it encoun­ters solid bodies like walls, objects, and also people does it generate heat. This effect is familiar to everyone from sunny winter days. Even when the air is very cold you can feel the warm rays of the sun on your skin. It makes you feel a temperature that is higher than the actual air temperature. This explains the great benefits and the sustainability of radiated heat.
Next to stone and bone, wood is one of the oldest working materials in the world.

2.2 ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Burning firewood releases only as much CO2 as the tree has absorbed from the atmosphere during its growth.
And when the firewood comes from nearby there are no additional CO2 emissions from transport.
Wood rotting in the forest generates the same amount of CO2 as the same wood burning.
2.1 WHAT IS WOOD?
Do you know what you are putting in the firing chamber of your Tonwerk storage heating stove when you are filling it with wood?
This is 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, and 2% mineral substances, nitro­gen, oils, resins, tanning agents, and colorants.
… that is wood!
THE FUTURE HAS NOW
BEGUN!
Page 4
2.3 BUYING FIREWOOD
Where can I get my firewood?
BUYING READY-TO-BURN FIRE­WOOD
Regenerated ready-to-burn firewood can be purchased from dealers:
• stove-ready, stored for at least two years
• predried, stored for one year
• fresh from the forest
Every dealer has a wood moisture me­ter that they use to test the wood they buy. The ideal residual moisture is 12–15% and should be no higher!
TREATING FIREWOOD YOURSELF
Unseasoned wood can be purchased from the forestry office, owners of woodland, or the community:
• trunks lying in the forest
• seasoned trunks by the wayside
Whether you have cut your own wood or bought it, the important thing is:
the wood should be dried for at least two years before it is burned!
2.4 DRYING AND STORING WOOD
DRYING
The water content of firewood has a great effect on its burning properties. Your wood should be as dry as pos­sible. Only then can it give off much heat and burn without polluting the environment. Freshly cut wood can contain between 45 and 60% moisture depending on the season and type. Af­ter the optimal drying this water con­tent drops to below 15%. Depending on the wood type this can take about two years, and even longer for some kinds.
STORAGE
If firewood is to dry thoroughly, it must be cut into small pieces. Check this yourself: the circumference should be max 20–25 cm. Store the wood out of doors, protect it from rain and snow, and make sure it is well ven­tilated.
2.5 WOOD TYPES AND CALORIFIC VALUE
The calorific value describes the heat energy released when one kilogram of fuel is burned under specific condi­tions. The calorific value is based on the vol­ume specified in stacked or solid cubic metres. The various wood types have various calorific values:
Damp wood damages your stove and reduces the calorific value!
!
What you must not burn: refuse, wet wood, briquettes!

2.7 WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WOOD BURNS
Burning or combustion is a rapid oxidation of substances forming flames. When wood burns, the oxygen in the air combines with the carbon and hydrogen in the wood. In the process, energy is released in the form of heat and light. In the ideal case the products of complete combustion are only carbon dioxide, ashes (formed primarily of the wood’s mineral constituents), and water.
The combustion process on firewood can be divided roughly into three phases.
Heating and drying – In this first phase the water and other volatile substances stored in the firewood evaporate.
Pyrolysis – In this second phase the firewood decomposes at temperatures from about 150 °C.
Actual combustion – In this third phase the gases formed in the first two phases re­act with additional oxygen from the atmosphere to form carbon dioxide and water. Also any remaining charcoal burns completely with time in the combustion zone. Only ashes remain as the single residue of combustion. Each phase of combustion can be observed very easily on an open fire.
Burning wood is a proactive contribution to climate protection!
i
A fire needs three things: fuel, oxygen, and heat.

3. APPROVALS AND CERTIFICATIONS
3.1 APPROVAL
Your Tonwerk storage heating stove has been tested under the following standards: EN 13240/15a B-VG
3.2 MODEL 1 – SELF-CLOSING FIRING CHAMBER DOOR
The Tonwerk storage heating stove is fit­ted as standard with a self-closing firing chamber door. This is an impor tant oper­ating and safety element. The door closes automatically as soon as it is released. Consequently the Tonwerk storage heat­ing stove is suitable for connection to flues with multiple installations (several Model 1 stoves connected to the same flue).
3.3 SEAL OF QUALITY
On the basis of these tests the Ton­werk storage heating stove has been awarded the following approvals:
Schweizerische Brandschutzzulassung der Vereinigung Kantonaler Feuerver­sicherungen (Swiss Fire Protection Approval issued by the Association of Cantonal Fire Insurance Underwriters) VKF no. Z 16042 Qualitätssiegel für Holz-Feuerstätten der Vereinigung für Holzenergie Schweiz (Seal of Quality for Wood Fireplaces is­sued by the Association of Swiss Wood Energy Users) VHe no. 0104/3
Loose cubic metre (lcm): The loose cubic metre is a measure for chopped firewood that is loosely packaged for trade and transport. One loose cubic metre is 0.7 steres or about 0.5 solid cubic metres.
NOTE THE SPECIFIED UNIT OF MEASUREMENT WHEN ORDERING!
Solid cubic metre (scm): As its name
suggests, the solid cubic meter corre­sponds to one cubic metre of solid as opposed to stacked wood.
Stacked cubic metre (stcm) or stere (st): A stacked cubic metre or stere
corresponds to one cubic metre of stacked wood including the gaps be­tween layers. One stere equals 0.7 solid cubic metres.
2.6 UNITS OF MEASUREMENT FOR WOOD

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.1 BEFORE FIRING THE STOVE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Dear Customer,
You have now been instructed by one of our specialised dealers on how to fire your Tonwerk storage heating stove.
In these operating instructions we wish to set down each step that you must take if you are to encounter no problems when operating your Ton­werk storage heating stove.
Read through these operating instruc­tions carefully and keep them in a safe place. Your specialised dealer will be pleased to assist you with any ques­tions you may have.
5.3.1 WHEN THE STOVEPIPE PAINT DRIES
When the stove is fired for the first few times the paint on the stovepipe emits an odour when it dries. Make sure that the combustion cham­ber is completely filled. The Tonwerk storage heating stove then reaches its optimal operating temperature and the paint dries faster. Also make sure the room is well venti­lated during this phase.
5.3 GENERAL INFORMATION
5.3.3 HEATING IN THE TRANSITION TIME AND IN DIFFICULT CONDITIONS
In damp or foggy weather, at outdoor temperatures from 15 °C, and during the transition time you are advised to light a pilot fire before firing the stove proper. This serves to displace the cold, heavy air in the chimney and to create the right conditions for the opti­mal extraction of smoke.

Page 6
Place the firewood inclined slightly towards the back in the firing chamber.
The weight of the firewood presses down on the grate and the combustion air supply is opened.
Place an ecofriendly lighting aid at the centre and two handfuls of kindling over the top.
Bear in mind that the stove must be filled completely with small pieces of chopped wood 33 cm in length.
If you have a supply of mixed wood types, you can burn these together.
Now ignite the lighting aid and lock the door. The wood burns from top to bottom. Only when there is a strong blaze does the wood release its whole energy that can then be absorbed by the storage stone.
6.1 ADDING MORE WOOD – FOR MORE HEAT
If you want more heat simply add another two pieces of firewood while there are enough flames visible.
Once the wood has burned completely and all flames have extinguished, the combus­tion air supply closes automatically when there is no more weight on the grate. The heat reservoir is therefore prevented from cooling too quickly. You can enjoy the radiated heat for hours.
7. CLEANING AND CARING FOR YOUR STOVE
The added wood ignites within a few minutes and burns from bottom to top.
Rough surfaces on the outer cladding can be vacuumed off with an upholstery attachment. Polished surfaces are cleaned with a spray-wet cloth. The provided cleaning stone is used to remove stubborn soiling. Under no circumstances must you use hard brushes or chemical cleaning agents.
The optimal functionality is obtained when the chimney, stovepipe, and stove are cleaned at least once a year.
7.1 EMPTYING THE ASHES
Empty the ash drawer only when it has cooled completely. When the stove is used every day, you should empty the ash drawer once a week.
Hook in the ash box and move the lever (1) several times to the right and back. Take out and empty the ash box.
1
7.2 CLEANING THE WINDOW
Press together the locking hook (1) and lift up and out the outer ring with the win­dow (2). Clean this with a moist cloth and some ashes.
Repeat for stubborn soiling or use a special flue window cleaner.
Put the window back in and make sure that the locking hook engages.

7.3 CLEANING THE SMOKE FLUE
Remove the outer ring with the window.
Remove the rear panel (1) from the combustion chamber.
Clean the stovepipe and the smoke flue and vacuum off residue.
Put the parts back in their original positions and make sure that the locking hook engages.
