Lighting Instructions
It is important that the correct amount of wood is used, espe-
cially when lighting. If you are lighting the fire for the first time
you should use a set of scales to see how much 2.0 kg kindling is.
Also check what the normal and maximum weights look like.
The stove may only be lit with the hatch closed.
Always open the hatch carefully and slowly to prevent blow back
because of the changing pressure in the stove.
The function of the stove differs depending on the draft condi-
tions in the chimney. Achieving the correct setting for the
combustion air damper, suitable size and amount of wood usually
takes a few attempts.
Lighting in the
right way
Correctly sized wood
Lighting
Note that if too little kindling is used when lighting, or if the
wood is too thickly cut, the firebox will not reach the correct
operating temperature. Incorrect lighting can lead to poor com-
bustion with heavy sooting and may result in the fire going out
when the hatch is shut.
If the house has mechanical ventilation, open a window near to
the fireplace prior to lighting. Leave the window open for a few
minutes until the fire has caught properly.
Kindling: Finely chopped wood
Length: 25-33 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per firing: 2.0 kg
(approx. 8-10 finely chopped pieces)
Feeding Wood: Chopped wood
Length: 25-33 cm
Diameter: 7 - 9 cm
Normal amount: 1.5 kg/hour (2 pieces)
Max amount: 2.5 kg/hour (max 3 pieces per insertion.)
It is important that the wood catches fire
quickly. Quick lighting is achieved by opening the
combustion air damper fully or by leaving the
hatch ajar for a moment.
Pyre lighting produces a lot of smoke and can
cause quick gas ignition in the worst instance
resulting in hearth damage.
Important!
nOTE!
The left hand handle that controls the grate disc must be
closed during lighting.
1. Open the control for the combustion air fully.
2. Insert paper or firelighters and about 2.0 kg of thinly chopped
kindling into the firebox. Stack the wood crosswise.
3. Light the fire.
4. Set the hatch to the lighting position, that is with the lower
hook against the lock roller to create a sufficient gap (see
figure).
5. When the fire has caught fully after approx 5-10 minutes,
close the hatch completely.
6. A slight amount of soot may build up on side glass during the
start-up fire. This is normal and vanishes after a period.
7. A fresh load of logs should not be put on until the start-up fire
has become a glowing bed of embers.
