4.9 Use
• Open the air vent and the ignition vent by pulling it out all
the way (A). If necessary, keep the door slightly open. (Use
a glove, for example, as the handle can become hot.)
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base. N.B. In order to avoid sooting on the glass, it is
important that the log is not placed adjacent to the glass
on the product.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these
and add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top
and light the newspaper.
• Gradually increase the size of the fi re, but the wood should
not be stacked higher than the horizontal holes on the back
burn plate. See fi g. 30 C.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fi re.
• NB: The maximum height of the pile of the wood should
be just below the horizontal holes. The holes must not be
covered.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, fl ickering fl ames under the
baffl e.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (fi g. 30 A).
• Close the stove door. It must always be closed when the
fi re is lit.

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.
