Periodically, it may be necessary to change the gaskets
on the door to ensure that the burn chamber is air tight
and working optimally. These gaskets can be bought as
a set, usually including ceramic glue.
Combustion pace
A heat storing product should not be burned in too
aggressively as this may damage the product. In
order to get the most out of a heat storing product, it is
therefore important to optimise the combution pace and
the size of the loads. Read the combustion rates and
load sizes that apply to your product.
3. Advice on Lighting a Fire
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: In order to avoid injuries, please be
aware that the surfaface may become hot during
operation and that extra care need to be taken to
avoid skin burn.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, kerosene, alcohol or similar for lighting
a fire. This could cause injury to you as well as
damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 15%. Humid wood
requires a lot of air for the combustion, as extra energy/
heat is required for drying the humid wood and heat
effect is therefore minimal. In addition this creates soot
in the chimney with the risk of creosote and chimney
fire.
In case of a chimney fire, close the door and air
supplies on the stove / insert and call the Fire
Brigade. After a chimney fire the chimney must in
all cases be inspected by an authorized chimney
sweeper before you use the appliance again.
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying on the ground as the tarpaulin will then
act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Burning
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very
quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely high
temperature (when burning with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never fill the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
Warning! The Firebox shall to be always closed
except during ignition, refueling and ash removal.
Lighting a fire
Kindling wood
Finely chopped (diameter of 3-5cm)
Length: 15-25cm
Ca. amount pr lighting : 1,35 kg
Place the air vent control in ignition mode - maximum
to the right. Set the damper in by-pass mode pulling the
lever out (right hand operation) - See FIG 18. For the
lever left hand placement see FIG 18a.
Insert small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure the
flames have taken proper hold of the wood. When the
flames are stable and the chimney is warm, pull the air
control out of the ignition mode turning left, when click
sound is felt and heard, the ignition air is closed.
After 15-20 minutes from starting fire set the damper in
normal work mode - See FIG 18. Smoke starts circu-
lating in the ducts and heat from it will be passed and
stored in the Power Stone core.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Place first layer of
wood logs perpendicular to the front. The fire should
burn with bright and lively flames.
Reload size
Chopped wood (diametre of 6-9cm)
Length: 23-25cm
Normal load size. 1,76 kg /h
When the fire end set the damper in warm retaining
mode, lever pushed in to the limit (for right hand
operation) see FIG 18, in order to store more warmth
inside appliance.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the stove. Wood
species have different degrees of hardness - the higher
the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch havest the highest degree of
hardness.
