11. Suitable fuels (cont)
Burning wood is recommended for operating the stove at its nominal capacity. Watch the heating value of the fuel you use.
You can get the exact data at a fuel supplier. Load the fireplace with fuel according to heat demand. The heating value of 1 kg
of dry wood is 4 – 4,5 kW/h. So you can place about 2,5 kg of wood into a stove of 8 kW capacity every hour.

When burning wood, if you would like to reach a lower capacity, do not restrain the fire. Put less wood in at one time instead.
Don’t throw the fuel in the combustion chamber, because it can damage or break the vermiculite tiles. Be aware that the
volume of some types of wooden briquettes increases during burning. Choose the wooden briquette that has the appropriate
size to the measurements of the combustion chamber and does not increase in size while burning.
The types of fuels that can be used, the maximum quantities that can be loaded at one time and the description of settings for
the air regulators, can be found in the attached technical chart.

12. Reducing emissions
You can only avoid unwanted emissions by the use of the specified fuels. Put only the amount of fuel in the fireplace that is
appropriate for necessary heat transmission. Burning more fuel is unnecessary and leads to unwanted emissions. Don’t burn
waste in the stove!
The use of other fuels than the ones listed above is not allowed.
You MUST NOT burn the following materials in the fireplace:
Wet or treated wood,
Wood-shavings, sawdust,
Inner bark, bark, shavings panel,
Coal dust,
Waste, scrap, plastic, rubble
Paper and cardboard (apart from lighting the fire)
Secondary air control
Primary air control
