you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
Compact stacking
If the logs are stacked tightly, the wood will burn more
slowly as the oxygen can only reach some logs
easily. If you want to burn wood for a longer period,
make a compact stack.
4. Close the door of the appliance.
5. Close the primary air inlet and leave the secondary
air inlet open.
Fill the appliance up to one third capacity.
Burning brown coal
briquettes
Brown coal briquettes burn in almost the same way as
wood. Using the primary air inlet, ensure sufficient
supply of air under the fire. For further information see
the paragraph "Burning wood".
Burning brown coal briquettes creates a lot of ash.
Regularly remove excess ash. See the paragraph
"Removing ashes" for instructions.
For the properties and use of brown coal
briquettes: consult your brown coal briquettes
supplier or see the brown coal briquettes'
packaging.
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the stove door.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Place the brown coal briquettes on the charcoal
bed.
4. Close the door.
5. Regularly remove ashes from the stove base
riddling the grate. Use the cold handle to operate
the riddling rod.
Burning anthracite coal
Always close the secondary air slide when
burning anthracite coal.
Set the fuel choice air valve to the closed
position.
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Open the primary air slide completely.
2. Slowly open the stove door.
3. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
4. Spread a shovelful of coal on the charcoal bed and
wait with the next shovelful until the coals start to
glow.
5. Now add more coal.
Be careful not to smother the fire by adding too
much coal at once.
You have added as much as you can once the
glow of the previous load is only just visible.
6. Close the door.
7. Allow the coals to burn well for a few minutes and
control the air supply using the primary air slider.
If the fire basket or the cast-iron plates start to
glow red you have overfed the fire.
8. Regularly remove ashes from the stove base
riddling the grate. Use the cold handle to operate
the riddling rod.
