GENERAL HEATING TIPS

• 

Burn dry wood only. Damp wood not only burns poorly, it causes more pollution 
in the appliance (window), the chimney, your room (when opening the door of the 
appliance, for instance) and the environment. W

ood can only be classifi ed as dry if it 

has been stored under a Dutch barn for at least two years (not covered with plastic). 
Never use painted or impregnated wood. The gases emitted when burning painted or 
impregnated wood are aggressive and will affect the appliance, the environment and 
your health. 

•  Ensure that your appliance burns well. The smoke generated should be translucent 

or white and the windows of the appliance will remain clean. We recommend that 
you do not ‘pinch off’ your appliance (by closing all air openings). Doing so will hinder 
combustion which, apart from polluting the atmosphere, will lead to deposits of soot 
and tar in your chimney (which, unchecked, will increase the risk of chimney fi re).

•  Keep the door shut when the appliance is burning. Doing so improves the 

performance of your appliance 8 - 10 times, benefi ting the environment and the heat 
in your home (less topping up). You will also prevent appliance damage from any 
particles the appliance ‘spits’ out (this is a particular problem with softwood from 
conifers). If your fl oor contains fl ammable material, an extra fl oor plate is required.

  The appliance must not be operated with the air control or door left open except as 

directed in this operating manual. Operation with the air control open or door left 
open can cause excess smoke.

•  Avoid lighting an appliance in misty or still conditions. If the wind is still, there is 

hardly any draught in the cold chimney. As smoke is heavier than air, there is a 
chance that smoke will enter the room. If there is mist in the air, smoke coming out of 
your chimney will cool quickly and fall, causing problems in your area.

•  Do not extinguish your appliance with water - let it burn out. The part of the inner 

lining that is in direct contact with the appliance is clad with fi re-resistant material. 
Sudden changes in temperature may lead to it deforming or cracks appearing.

•  Chimney fi re.
  If, despite all the precautions, a fi re should occur in the chimney (you generally notice 

that because of a roaring sound in the chimney), do the following:

  •  Immediately shut the chimney fl ap (if fi tted).
  •  Immediately shut the air supply to the appliance.
  •  Call the fi re brigade (

(

 112).

  •  Quickly quench the fi re in the appliance with sand or soda in order to  prevent  
    smoke in your house.
  •  Never use water to put out the fi re.
  •  Ventilate.
  •  If there has been a fi re in the chimney, have it swept and inspected for damage  
    and leakage.
