Burning wood
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking
If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
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. Control the fire with the air slider in the door.
Fill the appliance half-way at most.
Advice
Never burn wood with an open door.
Regularly burn wood with intense roaring
fires.
If you burn at a low setting frequently, tar and
creosote may be deposited in the flue. Tar
and creosote are highly combustible sub-
stances. Thicker layers of these substances
may catch fire if the temperature in the flue
increases suddenly. By allowing the fire to
burn very intensely regularly, layers of tar and
creosote will disappear.
Low-intensity fires can also cause tar deposits
