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.

YOU CAN LET THE SUN
SHINE WHENEVER YOU
WANT TO!

HEAT, EVERY DAY

Wood does not contri­bute to the greenhouse
effect!

Wood is stored solar

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!
