3.4 The first time a fire is lit

The wood burning stove is packed in recycling packaging (wood and plastic). This must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into smaller pieces and
used the first time a fire is lit.
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the
wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make sure there is
sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the first 2–3 times, so
that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly. You should also be aware that the stove may make clicking
sounds as it heats up and cools down – rather like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great
differences in temperature to which the materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the stoking door must be left
slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking to the stove.
3.5 How should I use my wood burning stove?
The wood burning stove is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down to
embers before new logs are added.
In order to obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning
small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater and more gas
is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects combustion. In normal
circumstances, you should not place more than two logs in the stove. If you want an enhanced effect, you can add
more logs. The nominal heat output is reached by burning approx. 2 kg per hour.
