Adding fi rewood
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at
a time. If the stove is fi lled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fi re in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fi res as this produces the most pollution.
The fi re is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the
chimney is almost invisible.
4.7 Danger of overheating
The fi replace must never be used in a manner that
causes overheating
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating
is when parts of the fi replace glow red. If this happens, reduce
the air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further
information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and fl ue pipe).
Leave the ignition-/air vent 24 mm (fi g. 7 B) open when the
wood has caught fi re properly and is burning well.
Close the door.
You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the
heat you want by adjusting the air vent.
Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, fl ickering fl ames in front of
the holes under the baffl e.
