5.2 Lighting the fi re
Important!
Please note that if too little wood is used when lighting the fi re,
or if the pieces of wood are too large, it will not be possible to
attain the optimum working temperature in the burn chamber.
This can result in poor combustion and may lead to a heavy
build-up of soot, or cause the fi re to die out when the door is
closed.
If the house has a mechanical ventilation system, the pressure
inside the house is negative and the fi replace does not have an
outside air connection, open a window near to the stove before
lighting a fi re. Let the window remain open for a minute or two
until the fi re has begun to burn properly.

•
Place two medium-sized logs on each side at the bottom of
the burn chamber. NB: In order to avoid a build-up of soot on
the glass, it is important not to let the logs touch the glass.
•
Place fi relighters or bark off the birch wood between the
logs. Stack some fi nely split wood on top in a criss-cross
pattern. Light the fi re.

5.3 Stoking the fi re
Fig. 43
•
To be able to control the heat output, it is important to have
a thick layer of embers and a high temperature in the burn
chamber. Stoke the fi re with more wood when it has burned
down to embers. NB: Use a glove or something similar to
protect your hand in case the handles are hot.
•
Open the door slightly and allow the pressure in the
•
burn chamber to even out for a few seconds before opening
the door fully. This prevents smoke and ash from spilling
out. Never put on more wood while the fi re is burning well.
•
Stoke with 2 or 3 logs that together weigh about 2 kg. To
ensure optimal combustion, logs must NOT be higher than
the upper holes in the rear plate.
•
Close the door.
•
Leave the ignition vent and the air vent open for 2 or 3
minutes until the logs have turned black and are burning
well. Then adjust the ignition and air vents to 40% to 70%.
•
The conditions for controlling combustion vary depending
on the temperature in the burn chamber and the draught
in the chimney.
Important! It is important to get the wood burning quickly and we
therefore recommend that you open up the air supply. Burning
at too low a temperature and with too little air can in some cases
cause gas ignition which may damage the stove.
•
Refuelling on to a low fi re bed: If there is insuffi cent
burning material in the fi rebed to light a new fuel charge,
excessive smoke emission can occur. Refi lling must be
carried out onto a suffi cient quantity of glowing embers and
ash that new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period.
If there are too few embers in the fi re bed, add suitable
kindling to prevent excessive smoke.
•
Fuel overloading: The maximum amount of fuel specifi ed
in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading can
cause exess smoke
•
Operating with door left open: Operation with the door
open can cause excess smoke. This appliance must not
be operated with the appliance door left open except as
directed in the instructions.
•
Dampers left open: Operation with the air controls or
apploance dampers can excess smoke. The appliance
must not be operated with air controls, appliance dampers
or door left open exept as directed in the instructions.
