Combustion air
Being the user of the stove you must take care of a
sufficient combustion air supply. Sealed-up windows
and doors may not allow a sufficient combustion air
supply or disturb the draught behaviour of your stove.
Please ensure the additional supply of fresh combus-
tion air if necessary. For details please consult your
specialist retailer.
3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
Approved fuels
Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood pre-
ferred), wood briquettes.
Maximum amount of fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: appr. 1,6 kg
wood or appr. 1,6 kg wood briquettes
amounts of fuel can lead to overheating and thus
damage the stove.
Clean burning
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture
< 15%) and untreated. The right amount of wood
must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that re-
leases only small amounts of emissions.
Making a fire
For the correct and safe operation of your stove
please pay attention of the chimney developing the
necessary feed pressure. This must especially be
considered before the initial operation (or e.g. after
the summer heating break) and during the mid-
season heating periods (e.g. at strong wind, etc.).
If there is not enough feed pressure, please light only
some paper or small kindling first, in order to "warm
up" the stove and the chimney.
Fully pull up the lever for the combustion air (see fig.
3).
Fig. 3 air knob
Place 2-3 logs (approx. 1,1 kg in total) crossways in
the combustion chamber with sufficient distance from
each other (min. 2 cm), on top of that place some
softwood chippings (approx. 0.5 kg) and some igni-
tion aid and light. (see fig. 4)

Stove pipe connection
For your own safety stringent laws apply for connect-
ing the stove pipes to the chimney. Your professional
dealer or distributor knows these laws. Please have
your certified retailer carry out the connection of your
stove.

Close the door!
We recommend to let the first load burn down without
changing the air lever position.
As soon as no visible flames are left (only embers in
the combustion chamber), you can put another load
of logs (approx. 1,6 kg) in the combustion chamber if
desired.
When reloading the stove please repeat the proce-
dure as mentioned under "first lighting": air lever top
position (= open), open door carefully, place logs,
close door.
After a few minutes, when the logs burn well on all
sides (bright, high flames), you can adjust the heat
output with the air lever (lever on top position = max-
imum heat output), the flames should be yellow and
never look blueish or have black tips (otherwise add
more air) – see fig. 3. Never close air supply com-
pletely during operation.
