water vapour will condense in the appliance and
can leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-
ney fire.

Lighting

You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two to three layers of kindling crosswise on
top of the logs.
3. Place a firelighter between the bottom layer of kind-
ling and light the firelighter according to the instruc-
tions on the packaging.
4. Close the appliance door and open the air inlet of
the appliance completely; see Position A on the fol-
lowing figure.
5. Allow the fire to develop into a good blaze until
there is a glowing bed of charcoal. You can then
add fuel and adjust the appliance, see the chapter
"Stoking with wood".

Maximum amount of wood

To stoke continuously at the rated power, wood must
be added every 45 minutes. If you use a smaller
amount of wood each time, you can add wood more
often. Each stove is designed to work with a specific
maximum amount of wood. If you use a larger quantity
of wood, the heat output increases. This can cause
the hearth to be overloaded and parts can be dam-
aged.
Allowable maximum amount of fuel when using wood
with a moisture content of 15%:
640WD 9kW can be filled with a maximum of 2 kg
wood every 45 minutes.
760WD 11 kW can be filled with a maximum of 2.5
kg wood every 45 minutes.
