2.3 Connection to a brick chimney
If the stove is being connected to a brick chimney, the rear outlet should be used, or a curved flue pipe via the top
outlet. After measurement, a hole is made in the chimney in which the pipe sleeve is placed and fireplace mortar is
used to seal it in place. The stove is placed in position and the flue pipe is put in place. A thin gasket is placed
between the flue pipe and the pipe sleeve to seal the joints. The flue pipe should protrude 5
–10 cm into the pipe
sleeve, but must not block the opening in the chimney (see the illustration below).
The wood burning stove can be connected to a chimney to which other heat sources are connected.
3.0 Lighting a fire in the wood burning stove
3.1 Important safety information
The wood burning stove will become warm during use and therefore it should be treated with all necessary
caution.
Never keep easily combustible fluids such as petrol in the vicinity of the wood burning stove
– and never
use easily combustible fluids to light the fire in the wood burning stove.
Never empty the ash drawer when the wood burning stove is warm. Embers may still be found in the ash
drawer for up to 24 hours after the fire has gone out. Please wait to empty the ash drawer until you are
sure that there are no embers in the ash.
The door should be kept closed while the wood burning stove is in use. While lighting the fire, the door can
stand ajar for the first few minutes.
In the event of a chimney fire: Close all the dampers on the wood burning stove and call the fire-fighting
service.
3.2 Recommended fuels?
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. The wood should
preferably be felled in 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 washing up 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.
Correct firing provides optimal heat output and maximum economy. At the same time, correct firing prevents
environmental damage in the form of smoke and malodorous fumes and also reduces the risk of chimney fires.
Well seasoned wood fuel is essential for correct use. Make sure your fuel is kept dry. If the fuel is wet, a large
proportion of the heat will be used to vaporize the water, and this energy will disappear up the chimney. It is
clearly not only uneconomical to fire with wet fuel but also, as mentioned above, increases the risk of producing
soot, smoke and other environmentally damaging by-products.
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.
