Instructions for use
4.1.
Opening and closing the door(s)
The door can be opened and closed by means of the cold han-
dle supplied.
4.2.
Fuel
The only suitable fuel for this stove is wood. No other fuels are
allowed to be burnt, as they can inflict serious damage to your
stove.
Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated
or preserved wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic ma-
terials, old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and
your chimney, and for the environment. They also could cause chimney 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 two years in a covered and well-ventilated
place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty per-
cent moisture.
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 to be released and a thick layer of tar will deposit on
the stove panels and in the chimney.
4.3.
Lighting a fire
In order to create sufficient draught and to prevent smoke from emanating into your
living room, the chimney should be warm enough 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 firelighters and small pieces
of wood.
Slightly open the door and pull the air slides wide open. See the illustration opposite
on how to use the air slides.
It is important that the kindled fire should burn intensely. You can then throw larger
pieces of wood onto the fire, and close the doors. When the fire has eventually sta-
bilized and is glowing enough, you can put the logs.
4.4.
Burning wood
The best way to control the fire is to completely
close the lower air slide, which you use to get the
fire started, and to regulate the air supply with the
upper air slide only. In case the air supply through
the upper slide seems insufficient, or if you would
