Always keep the stove doors tightly closed.
Never let the doors open when the fire is
burning.
Add extra fuel when necessary. Never add
too much fuel. It is best to fill the stove for
one third and to top it up on a
regular basis.
open stacking
compact stacking
Always open the filling door slowly and for a
short space of time. Before filling up, the charcoal bed should be carefully spread open.
Check whether the coals are glowing enough just behind the log retainer, so that the
added fuel will immediately catch fire. If necessary you can open the lower air slide for a
while.
Open stacking will make the logs burn very intensely, as the oxygen can easily reach
every part of the fire. This method of stacking is applied when burning wood for a short
while. Compact stacking will make the fire burn slower, as the air can only reach the
outer parts of the fire. This stacking method is best used when burning for a longer
while.
Low intensity fires cause tar and creosote to deposit in the chimney after a long period
of time. Tar and creosote are highly combustible substances. Thicker layers of these
substances might catch fire when the temperature in the chimney increases suddenly
and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire to regularly burn very intensely, so that
thin layers of tar and creosote immediately disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panes and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a few
hours a day.

Burning coal
WHEN BURNING CHARCOAL THE AIR SLIDE ABOVE MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT CLOSED.
As soon as the fire is sufficiently stable and there is enough glow, the first shovel of
coals can be put onto the fire. Complete the filling once the coals have caught fire. Make
sure you do not quench the fire by putting too much coals onto it at a time.
Once the fire has burned for a while, adjust the air slide at the bottom of the door.
Before adding some extra coals, open the air slide below completely. Use the shaker
grate or the supplied shovel, and shake till the glowing parts fall into the ash plate; then
add the coals. After a few minutes, adjust the air slide. Add some more coals until you
can only see the glow of the previous filling.
When the fire basket or the cast-iron plate fins are red-hot, you are heating too
intensely.
