Use a long match to light the firelighters on the top of the wood stack.
Lighting the stack at the top will cause the firelighters to ignite the thinner kindling wood first, while
the flame at the top heats up the chimney.
As the chimney heats up, the draw in the fireplace will increase.
Lower the lifting door and leave it ajar by ± 2 cm. Keep the air regulator completely to the right.
Wait until the stack of kindling wood is burning nicely before closing the door completely. Once the
wood stack is sufficiently burning, close the lifting door completely.
Allow the wood stack to burn down until there is a nice bed of coals and then add 2 to 3 times the
amount of kindling wood to the burning fire. Close the lifting door every time. Once the fire begins to
become agitated, you can slide the air regulator to the middle position.
After 40 minutes to 1 hour (depending on the amount of kindling wood you have used), make sure
that a nice, glowing bed of red coals has formed under the wood logs. Allow the wood to burn down
completely until only the glowing bed of red coals remains at the bottom of the fireplace.
Open the lifting door and use a fire poker to carefully spread out the burning coals.
Carefully lay the provided 3.5 kg of wood on this glowing bed of coals
(
see Section 14 p.25).
Do not lay this 3.5 kg load of wood onto the fire before a nice glowing bed of red coals has been
created.

Adding new wood
In order to maintain optimal combustion, it is best to add a load of firewood as soon as the flames
disappear and the previous load of wood has entered into the glowing phase, i.e. when there is no
more smoke development.
To add new wood, open the lifting door by sliding it upwards slowly. This prevents smoke from
suddenly entering the room due to creating a sudden draught towards the room. Lay 2 or 3 logs on
top of the glowing coals that remain from the previous load of wood (see Section 14.Fuel p.25 and
Section 15 How to correctly start the fire p.26)
