only. In case the air supply through the upper slide seems insufficient, or if you
would like to fan the fire, you can partially open the lower air slide for a while.
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.
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 glow-
ing 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 meth-
od 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 chim-
ney after a long period of time.
Tar and creosote are highly com-
bustible substances. Thicker lay-
ers of these substances might catch fire when the temperature in the chimney in-
creases 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

You need a coal-basket for 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 in-
tensely.
