Add extra fuel when necessary. Never add too much fuel. It is best to fill the stove
for one third and to top it up on a regular basis.
Always open the filling door slowly and for a short space at a time. Before filling up,
the charcoal bed should be carefully spread open. Check whether the coals are glow-
ing enough just behind the log retainer, so that the added fuel will immediately
catch fire. If necessary you can open the primary air slide for a while.
Open stacking will make the logs burn
very intensely, as the oxygen can eas-
ily reach every part of the fire. This
method of stacking is applied when
burning wood for a short while. Com-
pact stacking will make the fire burn
slower, as the air can only reach the
open stacking
compact stacking
outer parts of the fire. This stacking
method is best used whe n burning for
a longer while.
Low intensity fires cause tar and creosote to deposit in the chimney after a long pe-
riod of time. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of
these substances might catch fire when the t e mperature in the chimney increases
suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regularly burn very
intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panels and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a
few hours a day.
4.5. Low heating (for devices suitable for continuous use)
To use the device as a 'continuous fire', you can select the primary and secondary air
scoops in such a way you get the right burning speed. Always make sure there's
enough glow on the heating bottom.
4.6.
Ash removal
The bottom of the fire compartment is equipped with a port to eliminate the ashes.
