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.
We recommend that you buy a moisture meter to continuously check that the wood has the correct
moisture content before it is used 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. It is important to achieve a high flue gas temperature quickly.
Turn the regulator (1) clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally
in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 pieces of kindling
randomly on top. Place two firelighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close
the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close again.
When the kindling is burning well, turn the regulator (1) to middle position. If the fire goes out when
the regulator is turned, return it to maximum position again until the fuel catches fire and then turn it
to middle position again. Allow the kindling to burn up completely until there are no longer any visible
flames. The stove can then be stoked again.
Important! The ash pan must not be opened during the lighting stage and must always be kept closed
when the stove is lit or the Autopilot will not work. Only open the door when lighting the stove, refuel
-
ling it and cleaning it.
Stoking (drawing E)
When no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be
stoked again. There is a suitable layer of embers when the bottom of the stove is covered completely
and the embers are glowing in a circle around the shaking grate. Put at least two pieces of wood into the
stove, weighing up to 1 kg each. Do not regulate the stove again as the Autopilot system will do this, but
the temperature can be adjusted with the regulator (1). Turning it to minimum (counter-clockwise) will
reduce the rate of combustion and make the stove burn slower. Turning to maximum (clockwise) will
increase the rate of combustion and make the stove burn faster. Wait until the layer of embers is suitably
low before stoking again.
During combustion, the outer surfaces of the stove will become hot, and due care must
therefore be shown.
