4. Lighting and burning

4.1 Instructions

Observe the following instructions for a good and safe operation of your fire:

!CAUTION

Have your flue duct checked by a recognized specialist for blockage and contamination if you have not burned the

fire for some time.

!CAUTION

• Have the flue duct inspected and cleaned by a specialist at least once or twice per year. The flue duct must be

clean and function properly for your fire to be used safely and without any problems.

• use the right fuel only (see section 5.1);

• The maximum ammount of fuel as specified in Appendix 1, Table 2 should not be exceeded, overloading can

cause excess smoke;

• make sure that sufficient fresh air is supplied (see section 5.2);

• in case of a fire in the chimney, close the air supply, extinguish the wood fire with sand and call the fire

brigade;

• never extinguish the wood fire with water;

• do not clean the fire with a vacuum cleaner (see section 5.4).

!Caution

• preferably, do not burn the fire during misty and/or windless weather in order to prevent (smoke) nuisance;

• burn a fire with the door closed. It is only opened to fill additional wood;

• a properly heated flue duct is necessary for the draught in the duct;

• a high combustion temperature will keep the flue duct clean.

4.2 Lighting

Observe the following steps for lighting and burning your fire:

If necessary, remove a part of the ash with the supplied ash scoop (see section 5.4).

If necessary, clean the glass pane (see section 6.6).

If applicable, open the flue valve.

Fully open the air supply by using the air supply slide. Put the slide in it's furthest position to the right or pulled

outward as far as possible. (See Appendix 2, Fig. 3a and 3b);

Place 2 small wood blocks in the combustion chamber, lengthwise (see Appendix 2, Fig. 4);

Stack kindlings crosswise on the 2 wood blocks and place a firelighter on top of it (see Appendix 2, Fig. 5).

Make sure that sufficient air is able to flow through the stack of wood, so that the wood will easily ignite.

Light the firelighter and, if applicable, a ball of paper.

Close the fire door, it may be left open a little bit, if necessary, until the kindlings have caught fire.

Allow the fire to burn through properly in order to heat up the flue duct. In this way, a good draught is created.

To keep the glass pane clean, allow the fire to burn hot until it burns out.

!Caution

• do not place a wood block diagonal in front of the air supply;

• do not start with large wood blocks, build up the fire calmly;

4.3 Burning

Allow the fire to continue burning on small wood blocks until a properly burning fire is created with a glowing

ember bed.

In case of a wide fire: now distribute the glowing fire bed over the fire's width and place a few more small wood

blocks on top of it.

Only when the fire is almost burned out and a glowing ember bed has been established bigger pieces of wood can

be loaded into the fire (See table 2, appendix 1). Close the door after the loading is done and open the air supply

slide completely for about 3-5 minutes.

After 3 to 5 minutes the air supply slide can be moved back into it's middle position, but only if the fire keeps

burning correctly. Depending on the quality level, ammount of the selected fuel and airflow in the flue duct the

burning time of the newly loaded fuel will be between 30 and 50 minutes.

When there is an excess of airflow in the flue duct the air supply slide can be closed even further by moving it to the

left or pushing it inward.

Make sure to burn out the remaining fuel when you stop firing.

!CAUTION

Make sure that wood blocks do not fall/lie against the glass pane.

!CAUTION

For good combustion and optimal ease of use, always heat the appliance to capacity.
