6. Making up the fire for the first time
When the stove is assembled and all instructions have
been observed, a fire can be lit. Please be aware of
the following:
•
The smoke baffle and the Thermotte® plates
can be broken by a strong hit. This would not be
covered by the warranty. Place the wood logs
carefully in the burn chamber in order to avoid
such a hit.
•
It is advisable to air well when making the fire
for the first time as the varnish on the stove
will release some smoke or smell, which will
disappear and is not hazardous.
Making up a fire
Insert small dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure
that the flames have a good grip of the wood before
closing the door. Prior to closing the door open
the air vent control (Fig 4). By leaving the door
slightly opened (FIG 3) additional ignition ventilation
is obtained. When the flames are stable and the
chimney is warm, the air supply is controlled with the
air vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of coal, new wood logs
can be inserted. When inserting new logs, remember
to pull the hot ember forward in the stove so that the
wood is ignited from the front.
Using the stove with low combustion effect increases
the pollution as well as the risk of a fire in the chimney.
Regulation of the air vent control takes some
experience, but after a little while you will find an
optimal rhythm for the fire.
Warning: Never allow the stove or tubes to
become overheated and glowing red. Should this
happen, close the air vent control.

7. Maintenance
Remember the stove must be cold when inspected.
Door
The glass in the door is ceramic and therefore
detergents containing abrasive material should not
be used. Use polish specific for this material and
avoid soaking the varnished surfaces. The best
advice for cleaning the glass is to use a damp cloth or
kitchen roll paper and apply some soot from the burn
chamber. Rub around the soot on the glass and finish
off with a piece of clean and damp kitchen roll paper.
NB! Only clean the glass when the stove is cold.
Depending on how frequently the stove is used, it is
necessary to change the gasket in the door in order
to ensure that the stove is airtight and functions
optimally. The glass borders must be unscrewed in
order to change the gasket.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed with regular interval
(how often depends of course on how much the stove
is used). Be aware that the ashes can contain hot
ember even 24 hrs after the fire has finished. Use
an inflammable container to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber.
NB! Handle the Thermotte® plates with care
when emptying the ashes, especially when
using an ash spade.
Thermotte® Plates (insulation plates)
These heat-insulating plates in the burn chamber
contribute to a high combustion temperature, a
better gas exhaustion of the wood and a higher rate
of efficiency. The plates are not harmful and are
exchanged when worn (less than half of their original
thickness). Any fissures in the Thermotte® plates will
not reduce their insulation efficiency. If you need new
plates, contact your dealer.
Please note: Too long wood logs can cause additional
strain and crack the plates, caused by the logs
creating tension between the posterior plates.
Cleaning and Inspection
The stove should be inspected thoroughly and
cleaned at least once per season (possibly in
combination with the chimney and chimney pipes
being swept). Ensure that all joints are tight and that
the gaskets are rightly positioned. Exchange any
gaskets that are worn or deformed.
