Choice of fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, softwoods and wood
from fruit trees can be used as fuel in the fireplace. Different species have
different densities. The denser the wood, the higher the energy content.
Beech, oak and birch have the highest density.

NEVER burn the following
Under no circumstances may fossil fuels, pressure impregnated wood,
painted or glued wood, chipboard, plastic or colour brochures be used
as fuel. When burned, all of these materials release substances that are
hazardous to the environment and may damage your fireplace. Nor should
extremely finely chopped wood be burned, except for kindling, as it burns
out of control. This type of fuel can easily cause a flashover resulting in
temperatures that are too high.
Lighting for the fi rst time
A brand new fireplace may give off a somewhat unusual smell the first few
times it is used. This smell will disappear completely after it has been used
several times.
The button's colours
When the stove is not in operation
Steady white light:
The stove is in standby.
Steady green light:
The light turns green when the door is opened to confirm lighting mode. The
light goes out or turns white when the stove exits lighting mode, depending
on the setting in the app.
Flashing red light:
Something is wrong. Do NOT light the stove! Read in the app for more
information.
When the stove is in operation
Flashing white light:
Time to insert new load. The lamp goes out when the door is opened.
Steady orange light:
Over-temperature. The stove regulates the temperature automatically.
Moisture content
About 50% of the weight of fresh wood is water. Wood should always be
left to dry until the moisture content is below 20%. If wood with a higher
moisture content is used as fuel, a great deal of its energy is used to boil
away the water. Damp wood also results in poor combustion performance.
Soot and tar form inside the chimney and in worst cases these deposits
can cause a chimney to catch fire. In addition, it causes soot to form on the
glass of the stove and the smoke may be a nuisance to neighbours.
To ensure that your firewood is dry, the wood should be cut in the winter
and stored during the summer in a well-ventilated space under a roof.
Never cover the woodpile with a tarpaulin all the way to the ground as this
seals in the moisture and prevents the wood from drying. Always keep
some logs indoors for a few days before you use them to give any surface
moisture time to evaporate.
Avoid using large amounts of very finely chopped wood, pieces of bark,
sawdust, chips and other wood waste. These can start to burn out of
control and cause sudden ignition that might, in worst cases, damage the
stove and building.
Candles
Do not use old candle stubs as fuel. Melted wax runs down into the damper
system and renders it unusable. This is very expensive to repair.
NOTE: No action required! The lamp goes out when normal
temperature is reached. Read through the lighting instructions to
light the stove correctly.
