• Open the glass door and add logs.( To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly, avoiding a sudden
rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.)
• Leave the lower control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the wood to burn.
• Close the lower control.
Very Important:
Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approximately 75 %). The gases
are released when the wood is lit and heated up. For this reason, it is important that the gases are
ignited quickly after stoking. If the wood just lies smouldering, especially after re-stoking, a lot of
smoke is created, which, in the worst case, may cause an explosive ignition of the gasses, resulting in
damage to the stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, lasting flames during the
combustion process, it is important to let in the required quantity of oxygen (air supply) at all times.
The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition and the lighting intervals depend on the draught in
the chimney, the wind and weather, the amount of heat required, the fuel, etc. This means that it may
take some time before you get to know the correct functioning of the stove under any given
circumstances

lighting
Figure 4
• Slide the top air control to open. Open the lower control.
• Lay firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate with a reasonable quantity, if necessary, of dry
kindling wood. Place a small quantity of solid fuel on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, add further fuel.
• When the stove body is hot, close the top air control.
• The burning rate can now be adjusted by the lower control.
Re-fuelling
Figure 4
• Open the lower control.
• Open the glass door and add fuel.( To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly, avoiding a sudden
rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room.).
• Leave the lower control open for a few minutes toallow the initial volatiles in the fuel to burn.
• Adjust the lower control to the desired position.
It is possible to operate the appliance in continuous mode when solid fuels are burnt. To do this, the
appliance should be de-ashed and then refueled onto a hot bed of residual fuel. The lower control can
then be turned down to a low setting and the fire will remain overnight. The exact setting of the control
will depend on the specific installation but will be easy to determine after a few practices. In the
morning, the fire should be riddled, refueled and the lower control opened to maximum in order to
recover the fire quickly.
