5. Attach the (assembled) frame to the appliance by
sliding the tabs on the vertical sides of the frame
between the appliance and the clamping plates;
see next figure.
Finishing
1. Re-position all removed parts in the correct places
in the appliance.
2. Ensure that the newly built hearth is sufficiently
dry before you start to use the appliance.
Never use the appliance without the fire-res-
istant inner plates.
The appliance is now ready for use.

Use

First use

When you use the stove for the first time, make an
intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open
16
windows and doors for a while in the area in which the
stove is located.

Fuel

The appliance is suitable for burning natural wood
(sawn, split and sufficiently dry), brown coal bri-
quettes and anthracite coal.
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the stove.
You are not allowed to use the following fuels, as they
pollute the environment and because they heavily soil
the appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney
fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree
wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of
wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood
contains more resins, burns faster and sparks
more.
Use seasoned wood that contains no more than
20% moisture. The wood should have been
seasoned for at least 2 years.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the stove door and in the chimney. The
water vapour will condense in the stove and can
leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-
ney fire.
Brown coal briquettes
Brown coal briquettes have approximately the same
burning characteristics as wood.
