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, impregnated wood or 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 water content of a maximum of 20% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year,

preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to. 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.

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) 25-33 2-5

Chopped wood 25-33 7-9

Lighting the stove (drawing E)

Push the regulating rod (1) to the extreme right and fully open the sliding damper (2) in or beneath the

door. Put kindling with a diameter of between 2-5 cm, corresponding to about two pieces of wood, (maxi-

mum 2 kg) into the stove. Put two ﬁre-lighters between the top layers of kindling, light them and allow the

ﬂames to spread. Keep the door ajar until condensation no longer forms on the glass (after about 5-10

minutes). Close the door. Move the regulating rod (1) to middle position when all of the kindling is burning.

If the ﬁre goes out, push the regulating rod (1) to the extreme right until the fuel catches ﬁre, then move

the regulating rod 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 automatic air regulation will not work. Only open

the door when lighting the stove, refuelling 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 automatic system will do this, but

the temperature can be adjusted with the regulating rod (1). Moving it to the left will reduce the rate of

combustion and the stove will burn slower. Moving it to the right will increase the temperature and the

stove will burn faster. Wait until the layer of embers is suitably low before stoking again.
