2. Place a log of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log.
Light the firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an
angle above it. Air must be able to reach the firelighter
s, but the logs should be touching to “warm”
each other.
3. Keep the door approx. 1 cm ajar, until the glass is too hot to touch. Then close the door. When there
are distinct, visible flames and the fire has taken hold, close the primary air intake/damper (see
section 3.1.2).
3.7 Recommended fuels
Wood and wood briquettes. We recommend the use of split hardwood that has been stored outdoors under
cover for at least 1 year. Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn
too quickly. We recommend that you fell the wood during the winter when a lot of the moisture in the wood
will have been drawn down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood’s moisture
level should not exceed 18 %, which roughly corresponds to storing the wood under cover outdoors for one
year. The moisture level of the wood can be measured using a moisture meter or by applying dishwashing
liquid to one end of the log and blowing air in the other end. If the wood is dry enough, soap bubbles will
appear. The wood should be chopped into logs with a diameter of approx. 10 cm and a log length of max. 39
cm. Firing with wet fuel will reduce the energy efficiency and increase the particle emission.
Burning varnished wood, impregnated wood, chipboard, paper, and other waste is strictly forbidden. Burning
these materials will damage the environment, the wood burning stove, and your own health. Fossil fuels
must not be used.
The control handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is in use.
Please use the glove provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
