FIrIng manual - wood

Your ﬁrst heating session

The lacquer will be fully hardened after the stove has been used, and the door and the ashpan should be

opened very carefully as there will otherwise be a risk that the gaskets will stick to the lacquer. In addi-

tion the lacquer may initially give off an unpleasant odour, so make sure that the room is well ventilated.

Tips about fuel

Approved fuel types

The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried

chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 18%. Stoking a ﬁre with wet wood results in soot,

environmental problems, and a less efﬁcient fuel economy.

Recommended wood types

All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel in your

insert. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood types per cubic metre.

Beech weighs more per m3 of wood than common spruce, for instance. This is why more common spruce

is required, in terms of volume, to obtain an amount of heat similar to that of beech. Heavy types of wood

such as ash, beech, oak and elm are generally not that easy to light up. In addition, they burn more slowly and

give off more embers. Light types of wood such as birch, maple, spruce and pine are more easy to light up.

They burn faster and give off fewer ambers. You may therefore take advantage of the light types of wood for

lighting and use the heavier types of wood to ensure a longer burning time..

Banned fuel types

It is not allowed to stoke a ﬁre with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, ﬂuid fuels,

and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood and fossil fuels. The reason that

you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health

hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove

and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.

Storage of wood

A moisture content of 12-18% is achieved by storing recently felled wood outdoors under a lean-to

for at least one year, preferably 2 years. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and

combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a ﬁre indoors for a few

days prior to use.

It is recommended to purchase a wood moisture meter to continuously check that the ﬁrewood has the

correct moisture content before using it for ﬁring.Split the wood and measure the moisture content of

the split surfaces.

Recommended dimensions

The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:

Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm

Wood for kindling a ﬁre (ﬁnely chopped) 25-30 2-5

Chopped wood 25-30 7-9

Lighting the stove (drawing E)

A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a cold

chimney challenge the combustion process. Be careful to make a good lighting with suitably dry wood,

using kindling and lighting the ﬁre in the top layers of kindling. It is important to achieve a high ﬂue gas

temperature quickly.
