4.3 How do I light a fire in the wood burning stove?
The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently.
1) Open the primary air intake/damper under the door and open the secondary air intake placed next to. The
primary damper is used in the beginning to get the fire going, while the secondary air intake keeps the fire
burning evenly. The illustration shows the stove seen from the front with specification of the dampers. The

2) Place a log of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log. Light the
firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an angle above it. Air
must be able to reach the firelighters, but the logs should be touching to "warm" each other.
3) Keep the door approx. 1 cm ajar, until the glass is too hot to touch. Then close the door. When there are
distinct, visible flames and the fire has taken hold, close the primary air intake/damper.
Important: The control handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is being used. Please use the glove
provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
4.4 The first time a fire is lit
The wood burning stove is packed in recycling packaging (wood and plastic). This must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into smaller pieces and
used the first time a fire is lit.
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the
wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make sure there is
sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the first 2–3 times, so
that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly. You should also be aware that the stove may make clicking
sounds as it heats up and cools down – rather like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great
differences in temperature to which the materials are being exposed.
