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 hea-
ted 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.

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 stabilized and is glowing
enough, you can put the logs or the brown coal briquettes or the coals on the fire.
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 like to fan the fire, you can

Add extra fuel when necessary. Never add too much fuel. It is best to fill the stove for one third

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.
