3. In the case of connection to outside air: connect
the outside air supply to the connector fitted to the
appliance.
4. Re-position all removed parts in the correct places
in the stove.
Never light a fire in the appliance without the
fireproof inner plates.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the stove for the first time, make an
intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open
windows and doors for a while in the area in which the
stove is located.
Fuel
The appliance is a multi fuel stove. This stove is
suitable for burning natural wood; sawn and split wood
that is sufficiently dry. The appliance is also suitable
for the burning of brown coal briquettes and anthracite
coal.
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the stove.
You are not allowed to use the following fuels, as they
pollute the environment and because they heavily soil
the appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney
fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree
wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of
wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood
contains more resins, burns faster and sparks
more.
Subject to change because of technical improvements
Use seasoned wood that contains no more than
20% moisture. The wood should have been
seasoned for at least 2 years.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the stove door and in the chimney. The
water vapour will condense in the stove and can
leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a
chimney fire.
Brown coal briquettes
Brown coal briquettes have approximately the same
burning characteristics as wood.
Ensure there is a good charcoal bed before you
start burning brown coal briquettes.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is categorised on the basis of
characteristics, sometimes prescribed by law, such
as the percentage of volatile substances. The ash
content of anthracite coal is between 3% and 13%.
The lower the ash content, the higher the net heating
value and the less often you have to remove ash.
Preferably use category A anthracite coal with a
low ash content.
Use the recommended size 12/22 or 20/30.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
Lighting
You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
