Continuous stoking with the primary air supply open (combustion air
supply slider is right over to the “ + “ position) (air through the grate)
causes a fi ercely white-hot fi re that can damage the grate and other
parts of the stove.
6.4. HEATING ECONOMICALLY
The most environmentally-friendly and economic way of heating with wood is
to have your fi re hot but calm. The ash should appear to glow a soft red-orange
and should not glow like a blacksmith’s fi re. Fires like that burn quickly and
intensely, leaving little time for complete combustion.
Your fi re is at its most economical when:
• Burning with the door closed. This makes the fi re hotter and improves
combustion.
• Using dry and clean wood (as described further in chapter 8).
• Always ensure even combustion. Stoke with the primary air regulator closed.
To do this, place the air supply slider in the centre position.
• The bed of the fi re should be composed of one material and the fi re must
have easy access to air. Position the blocks of wood (loosely and evenly)
horizontally on the bed of ash, so that they are separate and several
centimetres away from the walls.
6.5. CLEANING THE WINDOW
After several burning hours, a light deposit may form on the inner side of the
window. Once the stove has cooled down, this deposit can be removed using
glass cleaner or ceramic hob cleaner.
Modifi cation
Do not make modifi cations to your stove. Any alteration to your stove, of
whatever nature, will also invalidate your warranty.
Only open the door for fi lling and lighting the stove and for removing the ash.
Keep the door shut at all other times.
