4. Instructions for use

4.1. Fuel

The only suitable fuels for this stove is wood. No other fuels are allowed to be burnt,

as they can inflict serious damage to your stove.

Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated

or preserved wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic mate-

rials, old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and

your chimney, and for the environment. They also could cause chimney fires.

Wood

Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit-trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.

The wood must have dried for at least two years in a covered and well-ventilated

place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty per-

cent moisture.

Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as they do not produce enough heat and all of

the energy is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood

causes badly smelling gases to be released and a thick layer of tar will deposit on

the stove panels and in the chimney.

4.2. Lighting a fire

In order to create sufficient

draught and to prevent

smoke from being emitted

into the room, the chimney

should be warm enough

before lighting a fire. A cold

chimney can be heated up

by lighting a ball of paper

above the fire plate.

To kindle the fire in the

stove you can use paper

and/or firelighters and

small pieces of wood.

Slightly open the door and

pull the air slides wide

open. See sketch on how to

use the air slides.

It is important that the kin-

dled fire should burn in-

tensely. You can then throw

larger pieces of wood onto

the fire, and close the door. When the fire has eventually stabilized and is glowing

enough, you can put the logs or the brown coal briquettes on the fire.
