SUGGESTION
If you let the fire burn for 10 minutes each day at maximum power, this allows
combustion products to be burnt off. This reduces the risk of any chimney fire and
also helps keep the window cleaner.

Fuel
Clean, dry firewood
Only cleaved firewood with a moisture content of ≤20% is suited for use in this appliance. Hard wood
types such as oak, birch, beech or wood fruit trees are preferred. You may also burn wood briquettes. It's
also important to use the correct length and an appropriate amount of firewood.
Damp wood results in incomplete combustion, making it pollutant. It's also difficult to light, extinguishes
easily and give off significantly less heat compared to dry wood. Finally, soot can be deposited on the glass,
in the appliance or the chimney.
Safe and natural firing
It's strongly recommended to start the fire with biomass firelighters or chopped wood, not with
newspaper. Liquid fuels are prohibited!
Use only environmentally friendly fuels
Under no circumstances burn impregnated wood, plywood, pallet wood, chipboard, waste or newspaper in
your stove. This is quite rightly prohibited by the environmental legislation. During the combustion of these
fuels high concentrations of harmful substances are released.
The combustion of above-mentioned fuels is also harmful for the stove and chimney. The temperature in
the appliance can rise too high with the risk of a chimney fire.
White smoke
The heating is good if the smoke coming out of your chimney duct is colourless or white. Light coloured
smoke indicates good fuel with good combustion. Grey, blue or even black smoke is produced by
incomplete combustion, for example by wood that is too moist or the temperature which is too low.
First use
During first use the paint of the appliance will dry. Therefore burn the first hour a small amount of fuel (1-2
kg) and leave the combustion air fully open. The smoke that emits during this phase isn't toxic but it's
recommended to ventilate the room. Also, during this process it isn't recommended to touch the paint. Stay
with the appliance during this phase and remove any condensation immediately before it has the chance to
burn into the paint.
