5. When the fire is burning properly, you may close the aeration slide.
4. After each loading, give the fire some extra oxygen by opening the aeration slide all the
way and setting the door ajar if necessary. Repeat this until the fuel is burning properly.
6. For a glowing mass of charcoal, you may close the aeration slide even further.
The heat will then last longer.
When you want to let the fire die down, you must open the aeration slide.
3. When the fire gets smaller, add solid wood varying in thickness from 5 to 7 cm.
The amount depends on the heat required. Stack lightly. Do not add more than 3 to 4
logs at a time.
2. Light the stove with paper, cardboard or firelighters and small wood. Stack lightly.
Allow some time for the stove to heat up. This will ensure a proper draught, keep the
flue cleaner, and results in a good fire under the more solid logs to be added.
Set the door about 2 cm ajar for additional draught if necessary.
1. Open the aeration slide for maximum air supply by pulling it out completely.
How to use the Signa
A few tips
앫
Make the fire always on a bed of ash. This is an insulating layer for the fire and an excellent bed for the fuel.
앫
You also control the temperature by the amount and kind of fuel used for each load.
앫
Remove excess ashes using a scoop or the Ash Cleaner. Never remove ashes using a vacuum cleaner because fire
may still continue to smoulder for days. Make sure you leave a layer of ashes (± 3 cm) for the next fire to be made.
앫
When the weather is foggy, it is preferable not to use the stove since the draught in the flue will be too low.
The power of fire
As a matter of fact just a few things withstand a real hot fire. Your stove can also be damaged by overheating. Just to
prevent this take account of not burning more than 4 kilograms of wood at the same time. 4 Kilograms is approximately
equal to 4 massif logs; oak with 15% moisture. The construction and the used materials from the stove are suchlike
chosen to control and resist a fire in a considered way. So heat with consideration.
