inside the chimney, it is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to
quickly get some flames going. Split the wood into extra fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe is not
blocked.
It is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first check the
applicable rules.
Even a good chimney can function badly if it is not used correctly. Similarly, a bad chimney may function
well if used correctly.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct and the smoke
chamber above the baffle plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If the chimney is too tall to
be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire, close all dampers and call the firefighters. Before any further use, have the
chimney checked by the chimney sweeper.

FIrIng manual - wood
When you light the stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively as all the materials must
be given time to adapt to the effects of heat. 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 addition 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 20%. 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
wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood types per
cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common spruce, it will take more
common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic metre of beech.
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. 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.
