Under no circumstances should you use fresh wood. Fresh wood has humidity of approximately
60 % and a caloric capacity less than 2 kW/h per 1 kg
(Fig. 4).
To create the same volume of heat
energy would require twice the volume of fuel. Moreover, when using fresh wood, the fireplace
insert does not achieve the optimal burning temperature, efficiency and low emissions of pollutants.
Burning wood with high humidity excessively overloads the file place insert and rapidly shortens
its service life. In the case of repeated burning of wet wood, the insert or parts of the insert can be
damaged! This will also block the chimney and increase the risk of fire in the soot in the chimney.

rECOmmENDED DOSE OF FuEl
Doses of wood fuel used in the fireplace insert must vary between the
maximum and minimum
stated value
(see table).
If adding another batch of fuel than that stated, the fireplace insert can
be damaged, become less efficient and the emission values are increased. The fireplace insert
is designed for short-term combustion operation. The interval for adding fuel should vary within
the range 45-60 minutes.
