Page: 39 / 170

Installing and connecting
1. Install the appliance in the right place, and make
sure it is level.
2. Connect the appliance hermetically to the flue.
3. In the case of connection to outside air: connect
the outside air supply to the connector you have
fitted to the appliance.
4. Install all the parts you removed in the right places
in the appliance.
Never use the appliance without the fire-
resistant inner sheets.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the appliance for the first time, make
an intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open
windows and doors for a while in the area where the
appliance is located.
Fuel
This appliance is only suitable for the burning of
natural wood; sawn and chopped wood that is
sufficiently dry.
Do not use other fuels, as they can lead to serious
damage to the appliance.
You are not allowed to use the following fuels, as they
pollute the environment and because they heavily soil
the appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney
fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as from oaks, beeches, birches
and fruit trees, is the ideal fuel for your stove. This
type of wood burns slowly with calm flames.
Softwood contains more resins, burns faster and
gives off more sparks.
Use dried wood that contains no more than 20%
moisture. The wood must have dried for at least 2
years.
Saw the wood to size and split it when it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has wind free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all of the energy is used in the evaporation
of the moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke
and soot deposits on the door of the appliance and
in the chimney. The water vapour will condense in
the appliance and can leak away through chinks in
the appliance, causing black stains on the floor. It
may also condense in the chimney and form
creosote. Creosote is a highly flammable
compound and may cause a chimney fire.
Lighting
You can check whether the flue has enough draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often does not have enough draught and
consequently, some smoke may escape into the room
instead of up the chimney. By lighting the fire in the
way described here, you can avoid this problem.
