4. Instructions for use

4.1. Fuel

The only suitable fuel 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 chim-

ney 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 kindled fire

should burn intensely. You can then

throw larger pieces of wood onto the

fire, and close the door. When the fire

has eventually stabilized and is glow-

ing enough, you can put the logs or

the brown coal briquettes on the fire.

4.3. Burning wood

The best way to control the fire is to

completely close the lower air slide,

which you use to get the fire started,

and to regulate the air supply with the

upper air slide only. In case the air

supply through the upper slide seems

insufficient, or if you would like to fan the fire, you can partially open the lower air

slide for a while.

Always keep the stove door tightly closed. Never let the door open when the fire is

burning.
