Once there is a good bed of embers in the stove, you can add wood. It is important not to open the
door while there are flames in the stove, as this may cause smoke to flow out into the room. Add
wood on the basis of your heating requirements. The amount of wood you need to add will depend
on the season. However, never add more than 2 kg of wood every 1.5–2 hours. Please remember
that the exterior surfaces of the stove in particular will become very hot during firing.
Initial lighting
1. Turn the air wheel to the maximum
2. Add firelighters and billets to the bottom of the fire box (combustion chamber).
3. The billets (about 1,5 kg) are to be built up crosswise.
4. Light the fire.
5. The door should be ajar for a couple of minutes during the lighting phase.
6. The air wheel must be adjusted down after approx. 10 minutes; how much depends on the chimney
draught - however, the air supply must be diminished to the point where you obtain steady and calm
flames.
Stoking
1. Turn the air wheel to the maximum.
2. To minimize the underpressure, the door should be ajar for about one minute before you open it complet
ely.
3. Open the door slowly.
4. Add 2 – 3 pieces of firewood to the combustion chamber.
5. Close the door.
6. Turn down the air supply when the fire has caught the wood, to obtain steady and calm flames.
5. Maintenance
Sealing band and vermiculite panels are wearing parts which need to be renewed. How often this is needed depends
on how much you use your stove. In some cases every year, others every second or third year. A principal rule is
that the sealing band needs renewal when it is flattened, and the door no longer fits tightly against the front of the
stove. A new set of sealing band with glue can be purchased from your local dealer.
Vermiculite panels must be renewed when they are worn thin, or when possible cracks are so wide that you can
actually see steel through them. If the panels are not renewed on such occations, they lose their power of insulation
and heat reflection.
Movable and mechanical parts should be greased once a year with a heat-resisting lubricant (closing mechanisms,
hinges etc).
Renewal of the sealing band at the door
1. Remove the sealing band from the inner frame and clean the band mark (it is not necessary to remove the
door from the stove).
2. Add a band of heat-resistant glue on the band mark.
3. Push new sealing band down into the mark.
4. Close the door and let the glue harden for about 24 hours, before you open the door again. If you do not let
the glue harden sufficiently before you open the door, the band may fall out.
Renewal of the sealing band at the Glass
1. Lift the door from the hinges and place it on a flat base.
2. Dismount bolts / screws from the inner frame.
3. Dismount the bolt and the ratchet that hold the handle.
4. Lift off the inner frame.
5. Remove the old sealing band from the Glass.
6. Add new sealing band to the Glass.
Re-mounting of the Glass takes place in the opposite order.
