Type of fuel: Wood
Which firewood should I choose?
There are various types of firewood which each have their own power and way of burning.
Preference should be given to hardwood such as oak, beech, ash, hornbeam and wood from fruit
trees. These types of wood burn well and form a bed of coals that stays glowing for a long time.

HE WOOD MUST BE DRY
burning)
Damp wood gives off a much less heat, because a lot of energy is used up to evaporate the
moisture from the wood. It also causes soiling of the stove, window and chimney.
Dry wood means clean pieces wood with a humidity ratio of no more than 20% compared to the
weight of dried wood. So choose well-cut wood that has been able to dry out for two years and
store it in a protected but well-ventilated spot.
TIP: How to recognise dry wood? Dry wood weighs significantly less and makes a brighter
noise if you bang two blocks against each other.
Use finely chopped wood (splinters) to light the stove!
Watch out:
Do not cut the firewood too small. Very thin wood burns only for a very short time only and is only
suitable for lighting the stove. Let large pieces, generally about 25 to 30 cm long burn naturally.
round short wood must be chopped small.
Also take account of the power of your stove. If your stove has a power of 8 kW than ± 2 kg dry
wood per hour is enough.
Things not to use ...
Rubbish, wood chips, shavings and sawdust, bark and waste from chipboard, plywood and wood
with a treated surface must not be used. They cause soiling of the hearth and the chimney and can
emit poisonous fumes.
WARNING! The stove is not a waste-disposal unit. Environmental law expressly prohibits burning
waste in domestic fireplaces. Anyone misusing their solid-fuel stove to burn domestic waste,
chemically-treated wood remnants, old paper or as a private waste-disposal unit is not only
damaging the environment, but also in breach of emissions law and may be liable to prosecution.
The appliance is not suitable for burning liquid fuels.
As well as serious uncontrolled air pollution, the harmful combustion products and residue also
have a negative influence on the functioning and lifespan of the stove and the chimney. This may
result in multiple faults and rapid wear requiring expensive cleaning or even replacement of the
stove.
Burning unsuitable fuels can also give rise to house fires which would not be covered by fire
insurance.
