Lukket/Closed
Åpen/Open
• The inlet air lever (
Fig. 19A
) is behind the front. If an outside
air duct
(Chapter 4.4)
is installed, the lever must be in the
closed position. Turn it to the left.
• If an outside air duct is not installed, the lever must be in
the open position. Turn it to the right.
NB! The only time this lever needs to be set is when the product
is installed.
Lighting the
fi
re
• Open the ignition and air vents by turning the control levers
to the right. (Use a glove or something similar in case the
control levers are hot).
• Place two logs at the bottom of the burn chamber and pile
the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the
fi
re.
After lightning
• Close the ignition vent (
Fig. 18 B
) when the wood has caught
fi
re properly and is burning well.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the
heat you want by adjusting the air vent (
Fig. 18A
).
• Check that afterburning (secondary combustion) starts. This
is best indicated by yellow ()
fl
ames in front of the holes
under the ba
ffl
e (
Fig. 18C
).
• If the chimney draught is normal, the
fi
re will take care of
itself.
Important! An inadequate air supply can lead to poor combustion,
high emissions and a lower level of e
ffi
ciency
Adding
fi
rewood
• Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of
fuel at a time.
• If the stove is
fi
lled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney.
• Add fuel to the
fi
re in moderation.
• Avoid
smouldering
fi
res as this produces the most pollution.
• The
fi
re is best when it is burning well and the smoke from
the chimney is almost invisible..
4.13 Warning against overheating
Never overstoke the
fi
replace!
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating
is when parts of the stove glow red. If this happens, reduce the
air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). (See «4.7
Chimney and
fl
ue pipe” for information.).
