Output control
Certain experience is required for output control because it depends on a number of factors, such
as negative pressure inside the chimney (draught) and fuel quality. Therefore, read carefully these
instructions to learn how to operate your stove to achieve the best performance.
The output is controlled by means of the primary air supply control device on the stove door.
Secondary air supply is provided above the door glazing and it is sufficient for glass cleaning. When
the chimney is properly designed and in good maintenance condition and when good quality, dry
wood is used, this air supply is sufficient for reaching the rated output of 8 kW.
The stove output also depends on the draught inside the chimney. In case of excessive draught, it is
recommended to reduce it by means of the fluepipe damper. Certain experience is also required for
the proper setup of the air supply control device. Therefore, follow our advice to learn easily how to
operate your stove.
Setting up the air supply control for starting the fire and for some time thereafter – Figure 2.
When the fire has blazed up and sufficient ember bed has been created, after approx. 1 hour, set the
air supply control back to the position ensuring the air supply that is sufficient for the stove to
develop as much heat as required.
By adding 3 - 4 kg of the fuel and keeping the air supply control set to maximum output, the stove will
reach 11 kW.

To operate the stove at the minimum output, set the primary air supply control to fully closed
position (Figure 5) and if you have a fluepipe damper installed, close the damper as well.

Make sure to add only as much fuel as it is necessary to maintain the fire.
