hours instead of having a low intensity fire for a
long period of time.
Control the air supply with the secondary air inlet.
The secondary air inlet not only supplies air to
the fire but to the glass as well, so that it does
not quickly become dirty.
Open the primary air inlet for the time being if the air
supply by the secondary air inlet is inadequate or if
you want to fan the fire.
It is better to add a small amount of logs regularly
than to add many logs at the same time.

Extinguishing the fire

Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful
substances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye on
the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be closed
once the fire has died completely.

Removing ashes

After the wood has been burnt, a relatively small
amount of ashes is left over. This bed of ashes is a
good insulating layer for the stove base plate and
improves combustion. It is good to leave a thin layer
of ashes on the stove base plate.
The flow of air through the fire plate must not be
obstructed, however, and no ash may be allowed to
accumulate behind a vermiculite inner plate. Remove
the excess ash regularly.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
1. Open the stove door.
2. Use the scraper (1) to open the ash removal port
by opening the bottom of the fire compartment.
3. Scrape the excess ash through the de-ashing
cover into the ash pan (2) below it.
4. Close the ash removal port.
5. Using the glove supplied, remove the ash pan and
empty it.
6. Replace the ash pan and close the stove door.

Fog and mist

Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through the
flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If it is
not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the stove
in foggy and misty weather.

Solving problems

Refer to the appendix "Diagnostic diagram" to resolve
any problems in using the stove.
