2. Let the fire out or eject and safely dispose of fuel from the appliance.
3. Check for flue or chimney blockage, and clean if required.
4. Do not attempt to relight the fire until the cause of the fume emission has been
identified and corrected. If necessary seek expert advice.

See photos at the front of manual.
NOTE:
If airsystem is connected, the valve must be open.
TIPS before firing up:
Open a door or window close to the wood burning. If there is a “storm” in the stove
coming from the chimney, it is advisable to place a screwed-up piece of newspaper be-
tween the upper baffle plate and the chimney, set the paper on fire, and wait until you
hear a “rumbling” noise in the chimney. This means that there definitely is a draught in
the chimney and you avoid smoke in the room.
• Open the door fully until it is locked in the open position.
• Start by placing approx. 1.1 kg of wood (4 pcs. of split kindling sticks) vertically at the
bottom of the combustion chamber (photo 1). Place 3 fire lighters or similar near the
wood.
• Light the fire (photo 2+3).
• Close the door and leave it ajar by pulling the door handle (photo 4).
• When the fire has caught the kindling wood close the door completely
(after approx. 5 min., depending on the draft conditions in the chimney).
• When the last flames are extinguished and there is a nice layer of embers (photo 5),
add 2 pieces wood (about 1 ½ kg) after approx. 15-20 min (photo 6).
• Close the door completely.
• If necessary keep the door open for a few minutes to start the fire (photo 7).
