The best way to burn your stove

All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a

maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can

produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need

less wood for the same amount of heat. Moreover, a

well-lit stove produces less smoke pollution. Below are

a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:

• Always burn your stove with its door closed; this

will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When

the door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw

more air than is needed for proper combustion. The

relatively cold air will cool the ﬁre. It will also preclude

ﬁre damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from

softwood.

• Do not put more than 3 logs on the ﬁre at one time. Too

much fuel at one time thwarts efﬁcient combustion

and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

• Ventilate the space well when you have the stove on.

A crackling ﬁre has a minimum air consumption of

25 cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking

hood when you have a stove burning in the same

space.

• Be careful with lighting the stove when it is foggy

or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly

any draught in the cold chimney when the weather

is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the

chance of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy

weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools

quickly and may descend and become a nuisance in

your neighbourhood.

• Don’t smother the ﬁre suddenly with water, but let it

burn out. The materials inside the stove may deform

or crack as a result of sudden or great differences in

temperature.

• If you want to temper the ﬁre, ﬁrst close the valve in

the ﬂue tube and then close the air supply.

Chimney and ﬂue

The chimney is the most important part of your wood-

burning hearth.

When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke

into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane or

create bad combustion. Before starting the installation

of the stove, your installer or a qualiﬁed chimney sweep

must check whether the chimney ﬂue has a diameter

of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length, and

whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.

Chimney with a proper draught

Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of

every chimney. It helps when the wind near the

chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.

Fall wind may give the opposite effect and blow

the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy

air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as

does a long ﬂue pipe with a rough inside and many

bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is poor

your installer can give you information about using

a ventilator for your ﬂue tube.

Maintenance

Small maintenance

• It is advisable to leave an ash layer of two to three

centimetres. It will protect the ﬁre plate.

• Clean the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth

that does not give off ﬂuff. Do not use any aggressive

cleansing agents or abrasives.

• Clean the cold glass pane with a cleaning agent for

ceramic cooking rings. Do not touch the clean glass

with your ﬁngers. Finger marks burn into the glass.

• Oil the hinges and the door fastener once in a while.

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents or abrasives

to maintain your stove.

When the stove is not used

• Close all doors and air inlets in summer season

• Place absorbent salt inside the stove if it is stored in a

humid space.

Yearly maintenance

• Have your chimney properly cleaned by a qualiﬁed

chimney sweep every year; this is for safety reasons

and any ﬁre insurance.

• Have the ﬂue gas outlet and the combustion air supply

of the double-walled ﬂue tube system checked for air-

tightness every year.

• Have the complete tube system checked every year;

this includes the roof or wall ducts and the outlet just

outside the wall.

• Have the valves and/or ﬂaps checked for their

functioning.

• Have the sealing of doors and glass panes checked for

wear and tear.

Safety

A WANDERS wood-burning stove gives you a

comfortable and a safe source of heat in your home. Fire

safety starts with a proper installation and a properly

working ﬂue tube. Your installer must therefore comply

with the installation instructions as listed on page 23 and

further. To burn your stove safely, the following points

are important:

1. Burn your stove as much as possible with a closed

door; it increases the output and is better for the

environment.

2. Prevent small children or the inﬁrm from getting too

close to a burning stove and do not leave them alone

in the room when the stove is burning. You could use
