4. Instructions for use
4.1. Opening and closing the door(s)
The door can be opened and closed by means of the cold handle
supplied.
4.2. Fuel
The only suitable fuel for this stove is wood. No other fuels are allowed to be burnt,
as they can inflict serious damage to your stove.
Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated
or preserved wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic mate-
rials, old papers and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and
your chimney, and for the environment. They also could cause chimney fires.
Wood
Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit-trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.
The wood must have dried for at least two years in a covered and well-ventilated
place. Split logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty pe r-
cent moisture.
Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as they do not produce enough heat and all of
the energy is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood
causes badly smelling gases to be released and a thick layer of tar will deposit on
the stove panels and in the chimney.
4.3. Lighting a fire
In order to create sufficient draught
and to prevent smoke from emanating
into your living room, the chimney
should be warm enough before light-
ing a fire. A cold chimney can be
heated up by lighting a ball of paper
above the fire plate.
To kindle the fire in the stove you can
use paper and/or firelighters and
small pieces of wood.
Slightly open the door and pull the air
slides wide open. See the illustration
opposite on how to use the air slides.
It is important that the kindled fire
should burn intensely. You can then
throw larger pieces of wood onto the
fire, and close the doors. When the fire has eventually stabilized and is glowing
enough, you can put the logs.
