6. USE
6.1. VENTILATION
Air is a vital component of the combustion process. Ensure that there is a
suffi cient supply of fresh air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the fi re (door
closed), 10 - 15 m
3 of extra air is needed. That means 50 m 3 per hour! As you
can see, a plentiful supply of air is essential.
6.2. GETTING THE FIRE GOING (Figure 1)
When you start the fi re, the chimney is still cold and there is little draught. This
means that the chimney’s capacity to draw in air is limited. This is why the air
supply must be helped by fully opening the door, air supply slide
…
, operating
handle ridling grill/primary air supply
‰
and ash-drawer
†
. The primary air
supply is coupled to the grill position by the operating handle
‰
. If the grill is
shut, the primary air supply will also be shut. Use dry, fi ne wood and some
scrunched-up paper or fi relighters to start the fi re.
Leave the door ajar for 10 minutes. Do not open the door wide, as the window
will remain cold. If the door is shut during this time, smoke will condense on the
glass and form soot.
For more air above the fi re (secondary and tertiary air): fully open the air supply
slider
… . This air supply slide is under the door handle. Slide to the right to open.
6.3. INSTRUCTIONS WHILE STOKING
After approx. 10 minutes, the fi re will be burning fi ercely. You can now top it up
with a few larger blocks of wood. Close the door when the new wood catches
fi re.
After another 10 minutes, close the ash drawer † .
If the fi re is still burning well, close the ridling grill ‰ . The supply of primary air is
herewith automatically cut off.
N.B. The grill should be kept closed except during the lighting procedure. Your
fi re will then be much cleaner and more effi cient (more heat, less topping up).
Using the air supply slider … you can now adjust the air supply for further
combustion. Make sure the fi re burns quietly.
