INSTRUCTION FOR INSTALLATION AND USE LUNA GOLD+ WOOD
1.3 STARTING THE FIRE
• Open the window (pic.3).
• Put a bed of tinder (paper or firelighters) with a little kindling (small twigs or pieces of wood) in
the stove and light the tinder.
• Leave the door slightly ajar (+ 3 cm) to get a turbo stream of air that will make the kindling catch
fire.
•After the kindling has caught fire and burns well, the logs may be placed on the fire. After the logs
have caught fire, the window may be shut.
NOTE: When a fire is made for the first time, the paint will harden and that give off smoke
and a smell, which starts after the fire has burned for about 10 minutes and lasts for about
15 minutes. See to it that there is ample ventilation in the room.
CAUTION :
It is not necessary to overload the fireplace with wood.
1 kg dry wood gives a 4 kW power.
Example : a fireplace with a 78% return gives a power for about 4kw x 78% = +/- 3 kW for 1 kg dry
wood.
If you want a power of +/-12 kW , it is just enough to put 4 kg wood in the fireplace. This is like
two normal pieces of wood.
Be carefull not to use palletwood (this gives an enormous heat) for continuous heating. This can
lead to fire hazard. We are not responsible for the bad use of the fireplaces and any consequence
for not following this guideline.
