n general about FIrIng
Quick or strong heat
Quick or strong heat is obtained by burning many small pieces of wood .

Warning: Should these limits be exceeded, the insert will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee,
and it may be damaged due to excessive heat . The stove has been approved for intermittent use .

Prolonged burning time
Prolong the burning time by burning a few (at least 2) very large pieces wood whilst at the same time
regulating the damper down .
Insufficient firing
If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a heating session, the insert is
polluting, and the automatic air flow regulation system is not functioning properly . The bar must therefore
be pushed to the right . Also, it may be necessary to burn more wood .
Types of fuel
We recommend using birch or beechwood, which has been split and stored for at least one year outdoors
under cover . Wood stored indoors tends to become too dry and burn too quickly .
Briquettes give off a lot of heat . Certain types expand considerably, thus causing an uncontrollable
combustion .
When burning is complete
When the insert is not in use, push the adjustment bar all the way to the left .
How to achieve the best combustion
• Use clean and dry wood.
Wet wood results in inefficient combustion, plenty of smoke, and soot . Furthermore, the heat will dry
the wood, not heat up the room .
• The fire should only be stoked with a little wood at a time.
You achieve the best combustion by starting up a fire often and using only a little wood . If you use too
much firewood, it will take some time before the temperature reaches a level where you achieve a
good combustion .
• Make sure there is the right amount of air.
You should also make sure that there is plenty of air – especially in the beginning - so the temperature
in the insert climbs quickly . In this way the gasses and particles released during the combustion will be
consumed by the fire . Otherwise they build up soot in the chimney (constituting a chimney fire risk)
