3.4 Ignition and positioning of the firewood
How the firewood is loaded into the housing is very important for an optimised combustion
process. It is recommended that the firewood be inserted into the loading compartment as follows:
Insert thick pieces of wood or stumps in the top area
only
4th Layer: Medium firewood
- Load the necessary amount in the compartment
3rd Layer: Ignition material
- Thick chippings, small chippings
2nd Layer: Paper, cardboard
- Ignite evenly throughout the compartment
1st Layer: Small firewood
- Do not place immediately on top of the grill opening
- Place the chippings crosswise on top of the first layer

IMPORTANT: If there is no charcoal from a previous firewood load, put the first layer (at the bottom
of the fireplace) with abundant wood, as dry as possible, to obtain the proper amount of charcoal
(approximately 10 zm).
3.4.1 Ignition tunnel
The ignition tunnel allows the combustion air to flow during ignition. Therefore, do not place any
combustion material on top of the opening of the grill during the ignition, leaving the ignition
tunnel free of obstacles.
3.4.2 Paper, cardboard and kindling
The fire should be lit with paper, cardboard and/or kindling. The cardboard should be placed
evenly on top of the ignition tunnel, across the entire surface of the first layer of small logs. If the
cardboard used is small, distribute it in paper ball shapes. The kindling must be placed crossways
under the cardboard.
The ignition process is manual and must be performed as follows:
- Partially load the combustion chamber with small dry logs and paper, cardboard or wood
chips.
-
Turn the boiler on and press START to start up the induced draught fan.
- Light a paper ball using a match or a lighter.
- The lit paper is placed with the paper/cardboard on top of the ignition tunnel. The door can
be kept slightly open to ease ignition.
