3.2 Lighting

The performance control is set depending on the type of fuel as a function of the

chimney draught and the desired heating level. With firewood and particularly with

softwood, only a limited heating period is possible. Lignite briquettes are much

better suited to burning overnight, if they are placed on top of a layer of glowing

embers.

Heating / using for the first time

• Before using make sure any fixings for transport are removed from the

deflection plate over the fire chamber and remove any stickers on the glass

window, making sure no traces remain.

Open the fire door by lifting the catch. When the stove is hot use a protective

glove. Set the primary and secondary air settings as shown in Table 2

“Combustion air flow settings”. Open the start damper. Place a starter briquette or

some wood shavings on the grid. Then add some smaller, then larger pieces of

wood light it and shut the fire chamber door. Once the fire is burning strongly and

there is a sufficient base of embers, add more fuel and shut the start damper off.

The first time the stove is lit it should be done “gently”, with a small amount of

fuel, to allow the stove parts to get used to the heat. The first time the stove is

heated there may be some smoke and an unpleasant smell. Make sure that the

room is well ventilated (open windows and doors) and heat for at least an hour at

the maximum nominal heat load. If the maximum temperature is not reached the

first time the stove is heated, then there may be further unpleasant smells at a

later date. Never throw pieces of fuel into the fire chamber, but place them, as

otherwise the lining may be damaged.

The loading door (fire door) must always be kept shut when the stove is in use.

It may only be opened when lighting, filling up or cleaning the fire chamber.

PLEASE NOTE:

If not working correctly, or if the chimney is not drawing properly, smoke

may appear when the fire door is opened. It is very important to only open

the fire door slowly, initially just a crack, then wait a few seconds before

opening fully. In addition, before opening the fire door to top up the fuel,

make sure that only glowing material is present: there must not be any

visible flames.

3.3 Cooking and heating

Whenever the stove is being used for cooking or heating the start damper must

be kept shut.

For optimum cooking on the hob plate you are recommended to use pans with a

flat base. The hottest area is in the centre of the plate, so this is the best area to

use to heat up a pan quickly. The edges of the plate can be used to keep food

warm. To get a faster heating up time (to boiling point) we recommend using

thinly chopped softwood.

The hob plate must not be overheated as this will damage the stove but not help

in any way with cooking.
