Chimney fires
In the event of a chimney fire – which
often results from incorrect operation or
protracted firing with moist wood – clo-
se the door and shut off the secondary/
start-up air supply to smother the fire.
Call the fire department.
Lighting and combustion
To open the flow of secondary air, use
the operating handle at the front of the
stove. The secondary airflow is complet-
ely open when the handle is to the left
side position, fig. 1.
Shut off the secondary airflow gradually
by moving the handle to the right. The
supply is completely shut off when the
handle is to the right side position, fig. 2.

First firing
The stove paint is fully cured from the
factory, but a minor unpleasant odour
could still arise.
Fuel
Your new stove is EN approved for
firing with wood fuel. You must there-
fore only burn clean, dry wood in your
stove. Never use your stove to burn
drifwood, as this may contain a lot of
salt which can damage both the stove
and the chimney. Similarly, you must
not fire your stove with refuse, painted
wood, pressure-impregnated wood or
chipboard, as these materials can emit
poisonous fumes and smoke. Correct
firing using well seasoned wood provi-
des optimal heat output and maximum
economy. At the same time, correct
firing prevents environmental damage in
the form of smoke and emmissions and
also reduces the risk of chimney fires. If
the wood is wet and inadequately sea-
soned, a large proportion of the energy
in the fuel will be used to vaporise the
water, and this will all disappear up the
chimney. Thus it is important to use dry,
well seasoned wood, i.e. wood with a
moisture content of no more than 18%.
This is achieved by storing the wood for
1–2 years before use. Pieces of firewood
with a diameter of more than 10 cm
should be split before storing. The pie-
ces of firewood should be of an appro-
priate length (approx. 25–30 cm) so that
they can lie flat on the bed of embers. If
you store your wood outdoors, it is best
to cover it.
