14.3 Firing
To ensure the heating appliance operates correctly and safely, it is important that the chimney gener-
ates the required draught. This must be checked in particular for each initial commissioning (e.g. after
summertime) and in the transitional periods (e.g. strong wind, fog, etc.). For this purpose, hold a
lighted match or cigarette lighter flame to the opened fire door. If the flame is not drawn into the
opening, lift must be created in the chimney by a strong generation of heat (e.g. by paper or kindling).
If this does not succeed, then the stove must not be started up!
1) Turning the combustion air controller regulator com-
pletely to the left to the “+” position
2) If there is a throttle valve, open it fully.

3) Lay 2-3 pieces of log (1) (beech, oak, birch) across the
bottom of the firebox.
4) Finely split softwood above it (2).
5) Place a firelighter (3) in the middle and light it.

6) As soon as the logs have burned well all around after
a few minutes, close the combustion air controller by
approx. 50% (bring the regulator to the middle posi-
tion) or close the throttle valve, if available, by 50%
(handle to the left).
