Instructions for use
4.1.
Fuel
The only suitable fuel for this stove is wood. No other fuels are allowed to be burnt,
as they can inflict serious damage to your stove.
Do not burn any treated wood such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated or pre-
served wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic materials,
old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove, your chim -
ney, and for the environment. They also could cause chimney fires.
Wood
Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit-trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.
The wood must have dried for at least two years in a covered and well-ventilated
place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty pe r-
cent moisture.
Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as they do not produce enough heat and all of
the energy is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood
causes badly smelling gases to be released and a thick layer of tar will deposit on
the stove panels and in the chimney.
4.2.
Lighting a fire
In order to create sufficient draught and to prevent smoke from being emitted into
the room, the chimney should be warm enough before lighting a fire. A cold chim -
ney can be heated up by lighting a ball of paper above the fire plate.
To kindle the fire in the stove you can use paper and/or firelighters and small pieces
of wood.
Slightly open the door and turn the air slides wide open.
It is important that the kindled fire should burn intensely. You can then throw larger
pieces of wood onto the fire, and close the doors. When the fire has eventually stabi-
lized and is glowing enough, you can close the lower air control. The fire is then
controlled by the upper air control.
4.3.
Burning wood
Some items to watch, when burning wood: always keep the stove doors tightly closed.
Never leave the doors open when the fire is burning. Add extra fuel when necessary.
Never add too much fuel. The best is to fill up the combustion chamber for about half
(2 or 3 pieces of wood) and continue to fill up regularly. Always open the filling door
slowly and for a short space at a time. Before filling up, the charcoal bed should be
carefully spread open. Check whether the coals are glowing enough just behind the
log retainer, so that the added fuel will immediately catch fire. If necessary you can
open the fire up air control for a while. Remove the ashes (behind the ash hatch) when
the primary air inlet is obstructed too much.
Open stacking will make the logs burn very intensely, as the oxygen can easily reach
every part of the fire. This method of stacking is applied whe n burning wood for a
short while. Compact stacking will make the fire burn slower, as the air can only reach
the outer parts of the fire. This stacking method is best used when burning for a
longer while.
