Heating
Fig. 26
Leave the ignition-/air vent 24 mm (Fig. 26) open when the
•
wood has caught fire 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, flickering flames in front of
the holes under the baffle.

Adding firewood

Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at
a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the
chimney is almost invisible.
5.2 Danger of overheating
The fireplace 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 fireplace 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 flue pipe).

and into the ash pan. Use a glove to grab the handle on the
ash pan.
2. Make sure that the ash pan doesn't fill up so high that it keeps
ash from coming through the grate into the pan.
