5.0 Daily use
Odours when using the fi replace for the fi rst
time!
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This is because the paint
on the outside is drying. The gas is not toxic but you should
open some windows to ensure the room is thoroughly ventilated.
Let the
fi re burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas
have disappeared and no smoke or odours can be detected.
Keep the door closed during use (the product is not approved
for use with open door.
Please note! Parts of the wood-burning stove, especially the
outer
surfaces, become hot during use. Please exercise due care!
Heating advice
NB: Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room
should be brought indoors 24 hours before use to bring them
up to room temperature.
There are various ways of heating the stove but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See
the section on
“Wood quality” .
NB! Combustion with too low air supply can lead to poor
combustion, poorer e ffi ciency, high particulate emissions,
black carbon and other health and climate hazardous
compounds.
5.1 Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood
such as birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no
more than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ventilation. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the
logs from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early
autumn and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following
materials as fuel in your
fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, para ffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.
