Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is categorised on the basis of
properties, sometimes prescribed by law, such as the
percentage of volatile substances. The ash content of
anthracite coal is between 3% and 13%. The lower the
ash content, the higher the net heating value and the
less often you have to remove ash.
Preferably use category A anthracite coal with a
low ash content.
Use the recommended size 12/22 or 20/30.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.

Lighting

You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two layers of kindling crosswise on top of
the logs.
3. Place a firelighter cube in the lower layer of
kindling and light the cube according to the
instructions on the packaging.
4. Close the door of the appliance and open the
primary air inlet and open the secondary air inlet of
12
the appliance; see 'Controlling air combustion'.
5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there
is glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel
and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking
with wood".

Burning wood

After you have followed the instructions for lighting :
1. Slowly open the stove door.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
