How to use the Canta
1. Fully open the aircontrol slide by moving it towards the front of the stove.
This is the kindling position.
3. When the fire gets smaller, add solid wood varying in thickness from
5 to 7cm. The amount depends on the heat required. Stack lightly.
Do not add more than 2.5 logs at a time. Be careful, don't use the
kindling position of the air slide anymore.
4. After each loading, give the fire some extra oxygen by opening the
air slide a little bit until it is burning properly.
5. A quietly burning fire is obtained by closing the air slide even more
by pushing it inwards. This will reduce the draught in the Canta. For a
glowing mass of charcoal, you may close the air slide even further. The
heat will then last longer. When you want to let the fire die down, you
must open the air slide more.
2. Put 2 slightly larger logs on the bottom of the stove. Stack some
kindling wood on top of it. Stack lightly so that the flame can take hold.
Light the kindling wood up in the stove (at the top) with a firelighter or
some paper. Allow the Canta to develop a good fire in order to obtain a
good draught and a proper fire at the bottom. This way, you will also
keep the flue cleaner.
