Fuel

This appliance is only suitable for burning natural

wood; sawn and chopped wood that is sufficiently dry.

Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious

damage to the appliance.

The following fuels may not be used as they pollute

the environment, and because they heavily pollute the

appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney fire:

Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,

impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and

chipboard.

Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.

Wood

Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree

wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of

wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood

contains more resins, burns faster and sparks

more.

Use seasoned wood that contains no more than

20% moisture. The wood should have been

seasoned for at least 2 years.

Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still

fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood

dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof

where the wind has free access.

Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce

heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of

moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot

deposits on the appliance door and in the flue. The

water vapour will condense in the appliance and

can leak away through chinks in the stove, causing

black stains on the floor. It may also condense in

the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a

highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-

ney fire.

Lighting

You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught

by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold

flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,

some smoke may escape into the room instead of up

the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting

the fire as described below.

1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.

2. Stack two layers of kindling crosswise on top of

the logs.

3. Place a firelighter cube in the lower layer of kind-

ling and light the cube according to the instructions

on the packaging.

4. Close the appliance door and completely open the

air slider in the door.

5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there

is glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel

and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking

with wood".

Burning wood

After you have followed the instructions for lighting:

1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.

2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of

the stove base.

3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
