will take more common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic
metre of beech.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, fluid fuels,
and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood and fossil fuels. The reason that
you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health
hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove
and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
The wood's water content of a maximum of 20% is reached by storing the wood for a minimum of one
year, preferably outdoors in an open shed exposed to sun and wind.
The wood must be dry (max. 20% water contents) before it is stored indoors. It is recommended that
kindling wood is stored indoors for a couple of days prior to use.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion.The dimensions should be as follows:

Special lighting guide for wood-burning stoves with soapstone cladding
Soapstone is a natural product, which needs to get used to the changes in temperature. For this reason
you should be very careful the first times you light up the stove. It is recommended that you follow the
procedure outlined below:
1. The First Stoking (Soapstone)
Place split kindling with a diameter of 2-5 cm the equivalent of approx. two pieces of wood (a maximum
of two kilos) in the stove. Place two fire-lighters in between the top layers of kindling. Press the remote
control twice to activate the symbol of lighting up. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door.
Adjust the temperature selection mechanism on the remote control to level one. Let the fire burn out
and do not restoke even if there is a restoking alarm. When the fire has died out completely, the door
must be opened and stay open while the stove cools down to room temperature.
2. The Second Stoking (Soapstone)
Place split kindling with a diameter of 2-5 cm the equivalent of approx. two pieces of wood (a maximum
of two kilos) in the stove. Place two fire-lighters in between the top layers of kindling. Press the remote
control twice to activate the symbol of lighting up. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door.
Adjust the temperature selection mechanism on the remote control to level two. When there is a restok-
ing alarm, you should restoke. Fill the combustion chamber half way up with dry wood of a diameter of
approx. 7-9 cm. Let the fire burn and let the stove cool down to room temperature before the next lighting.
3. The Third Stoking (Soapstone)
Repeat the second stoking, but use more wood this time and adjust the temperature selection on the
remote control to level three. Let the fire burn and allow the stove to cool down after the fire has died out.
Lighting Up
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a cold
chimney challenge the combustion process. It is important to achieve a high flue gas temperature quickly.
Only at temperatures around 350° C will environmentally friendly combustion take place.
