• Carefully pace the wood blocks in the fire in order to prevent the inner lining from getting damaged.
!Tip
Be particularly cautious in case of wood stems with side branches;
• Place the wood blocks loosely on top of each other and make sure they can be reached by sufficient air;
• If the fire is not burning properly, you can temporarily open the air supply slide further;
• With the air slide in it's most right position a second air flow is activated. This mode is meant to aid the fire
when lighting and reloading the fire. When the fire is established the slide should be placed back into the
middle position.
• Do not only use soft wood, but mix it with hard wood in particular.
• A steadily burning fire stimulates combustion.
• Operation with the air control or appliance dampers open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be
!CAUTION
operated with air controls, appliance dampers or door left open axcept as directed in the instructions.
• Operation with the door left open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be operated with the
appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Ø
Refill the fire before the flames have gone out of the fire. This will be approximately every 30 to 45 minutes.
Ø
Close the door and open the air supply slide all the way until the new wood blocks are burning well. See Table 2 for
the recommended quantities of wood.
Ø
Using the air supply slide, adjust the draught until a steady flame pattern is achieved.
Ø
Always allow the fire to burn empty when you stop burning.
• If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive smoke emission can
!CAUTION
occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of glowing embers and ash that the new fuel
charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there are too few embers in the fire bed add suitable kindling to
prevent excess smoke.
Smoke
Light coloured (white or colourless) smoke indicates that suitable wood is used and that there is a good
combustion. Grey, blue or even black smoke is created in case of incomplete combustion, e.g. as a result of moist or
excess wood.
When an insufficient amount of glowing embers is present in the fire reloading can cause an excess of smoke. In
!CAUTION
this case reloading with big woorden blocks shall be done after burning small wood blocks to reestablish a glowing
bed of embers in the fire. Reloading without a sufficient amount of heat causes excessive smoke and emission.
4.4 Fire with oven (if applicable)
If your fire is provided with an oven, you can use it to heat or cook dishes.
You can close the oven, using the valve (see Appendix 2, Fig. 6 (K)). Use the oven glove for this. When used, you
must always place aluminium foil in the oven in order to avoid fat from getting on the oven surface and burning
into it. Only use the oven after the fire's paint has hardened (see section 4.1).

4.5 Fire with fan(s)

Appliances that are made with fans will heat a room more quickly and increase comfort. As soon as the fan is
switched on you will be able to feel a pleasant warm air flow.

4.5.1 How the fan(s) work

The fans are operated by means of the switch on the appliance.
We distinguish three positions (see Appendix 2, Fig. 8):
Position I – ON (the fans are running, irrespective of the fire's temperature)
Position O – OFF (the fans are off)
Position II – AUTO (the fans will only run when the fire has reached the required temperature)
If the switch is in position II, the fans will be controlled by means of a temperature switch. The fans will become
operational automatically, as soon as the fire reaches the correct temperature. This depends on your installation
and your heating behaviour and may take an hour in some instances. After the appliance has cooled down, the fans
will switch off automatically.
