You should also be aware that the stove may make some clicking sounds as it heats up and cools down –
like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great differences in temperature to which the
materials are being exposed.
3.6 6 Lighting a fire in the wood burning stove
The fire lighting method is very important for starting combustion quickly and efficiently.
1. Open the primary damper under the door and the secondary damper behind the door. The
illustration below shows the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated.
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 (see
section 3.1.3).
The control handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is in use.
Please use the glove provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
