Floor Load Capacity
Before the heating unit is installed, make sure that
the load capacity of the supporting construction is
sufficient to carry the weight of the entire unit.
3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE
Initial startup of your stove
Your stove was treated with a special
environmentally friendly lacquer. The lacquer
surface is still soft at the time the stove is shipped.
The lacquer will harden when your stove is used
for the first time. The lacquer surface may not be
touched when it is heated for the first time. The
stove must be initially heated to a high temperature
for at least 1.5 hours. Visible vapors may appear
during the hardening of the lacquer. For this
reason it will be necessary to open windows during
initial operation in order let the vapors escape into
the outdoors.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE: It takes several heating
sessions before for your stove releases only the
pleasant smell of burning wood.
Approved Fuels
Dry, well cured and natural wood, wood briquettes.
Maximum Amount of Fuel
Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 4,8 kg wood
or 3,6 kg wood briquettes. Larger amounts of fuel
can lead to overheating and thus damage the
stove.
Clean Burning
The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture
< 15%) and untreated and the right amount of
wood must be burned in order to ensure a clean
fire that releases only small amounts of emissions.
The burning of rubbish especially plastic is
prohibited.
Making a Fire
Prepare everything you need for starting the fire—
soft wood chips, igniter materials (such as
Thermohit wood/coal igniter), uncoated paper,
wood.
Open the air slide all the way (see Figure 2).

Stovepipe Connection
For your own safety stringent laws apply to the
connecting of the stovepipe to the chimney. Your
professional dealer or distributor knows these laws.
Please have your certified retailer carry out the
connection of your stove.
Open the stove door.
Lay uncoated paper on the floor of the firebox.
Lay soft wood chips onto the paper.
Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips.
Figure 3: Igniting the Fire
Light the paper.
Close the firebox.
Figure 4: Regulate the air slider
As soon as the wood logs are burning well, you
can regulate the heating capacity with the air
slider. (Slider set to the maximum ("AUF") setting
produces maximum heat – see Figure 2.)
When adding wood to the fire, follow the same
procedure as when igniting the fire: Open the air
slider, carefully open firebox door, lay wood on the
fire, close the firebox door.
Wait until the added wood catches fire and is
burning. Then regulate the air slider again.
