Instructions for use
4.1.
Fuel
The only suitable fuels for this stove is wood. No other fuels are allowed to be burnt,
as they can inflict serious dam age to your stove.
Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, im pregnated
or preserved wood, plywood or chipboard. The fum es of these, as of synthet ic m ate-
rials, old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and
your chimney, and for the environm ent. They also could cause chim ney fires.
Wood
Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit- trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.
The wood must have dried for at least t wo years in a covered and well- ventilated
place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than t wenty per-
cent m oisture.
Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as they do not produce enough heat and all of
the energy is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood
causes badly smelling gases t o be released and a thick layer of t ar will deposit on
the stove panels and in the chim ney.

Lighting a fire
In order to create sufficient
draught
and
to
smoke from being emitted
into the room , the chimney
should
be warm
before lighting a fire. A cold
chimney can be heated up
by lighting a ball of paper
above the fire plate.
To kindle the fire in the
stove you can use paper
and / or
f ir elight er s
sm all pieces of wood.
Slightly open t he door and
pull
the
air
slides
open. See sket ch on how to
use the air slides.
It is im portant that the kin-
dled fire should burn in-
tensely. You can then throw
larger pieces of wood onto
the fire, and close the door. When the fire has eventually stabilized and is glowing
enough, you can put the logs or the brown coal briquettes on the fire.
