Important safety information
•
The wood burning stove will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all
necessary caution.
•
Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove.
•
Never use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
•
Never empty the ashpan when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the
ashpan for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ashpan until you
are sure that there are no embers in the ash.
•
The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the
door can stand ajar for the first few minutes.
•
In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-
fighting service.
3.1 Damper
The stove is equipped with two dampers under the door, which regulates the combustion air: primary,
secondary, and tertiary air supply. The primary air is used at the beginning to get the fire going, the
secondary air keeps the fire burning evenly, and the tertiary air ensures that flue gasses are burned. You
must always add secondary and tertiary air, while firing the stove.
The dampers allow to adjust the stove according to the chimney draft and the heat output you require. The
longer the damper is pulled out, the more air is added and the more powerful the combustion. The illustration
below shows the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated. Use edge of door to read position of
inlet air:
3.1.1 Secondary air supply
In normal circumstances, the wood burning stove should be working with this damper open between 60 %
and 100 %. You should never close the air intake so far that the flames are extinguished. There should
always be visible flames in order to achieve clean and efficient combustion. A too low supply of air can lead
3. Lighting the stove
1: Secondary- and tertiary air supply is
100% open.
2: Secondary air supply is 50% open
and tertiary is 100% open.
3: Secondary air supply is 15% open
and tertiary is 100% open.
4: Secondary air supply is fully closed
and tertiary is 100% open.
The regulator must be pushed all the
way in in order to close all inlets.
