Door and glass
Should there be any soot on the glass it may be
necessary to clean it. Use dedicated glass cleaner,
as other detergents may damage the glass. (NB! Be
careful, even dedicated glass cleaner can damage the
varnish on the door
frame).
the glass is to use a damp cloth or kitchen roll paper
and apply some ash from the burn chamber. Rub
around the ash on the glass and finish off with a piece
of clean and damp kitchen roll paper. NB! Only clean
when the glass is cold.
Check regularly that the transition between the glass
and the door is completely tight. Possibly tighten the
screws that hold the glass in place - but not too hard, as
this can cause the glass to crack.
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.
CERAMIC GLASS
CANNOT BE
RECYCLED
Ceramic glass should
be disposed of as resid-
ual waste, together with
pottery and porcelain
Recycling of the ceramic glass
Ceramic glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, breakage
or otherwise unusable ceramic glass must be discarded
as residual waste. Ceramic glass has a higher melting
temperature, and can therefore not be recycled together
with glass. If mixed with ordinary glass, it would damage
the raw material and could, in worst case end the
recycling of glass. It is an important contribution to the
environment to ensure that ceramic glass does not end
up with the recycling of ordinary glass.
Packaging recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.

8. 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 ash 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: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, karosine, 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%. The wood should be dried for a
minimum of 6 months after it is cut. Humid wood
requires a lot of air for the combustion, as extra energy/
heat is required for drying the humid wood and the heat
effect is therefore minimal. This in addition creates soot
in the chimney with the risk of creosote and chimney
fire.
Storing of wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and stored during the summer, covered
and in a location with adequate ventilation. The wood
pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin lying against
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.
Usage
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. 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 heats up the whole combustion chamber to an
extremely high temperature (when using with a closed
or nearly closed door). For this reason you should never
fill the combustion chamber completely with wood.
It is recommended to keep an even fire with a small
amount of wood. Too many logs put on hot ember, may
result in combustion air starvation, and the gases will
be released unburnt. For this reason it is important to
increase the air supply just after adding logs.
Choice of fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the insert. Wood
species have different degrees of density - the more
dense the wood is, the higher the energy value. Beech,
