2.1 Lighting instructions and fuelling intervals
A lot of air is needed when lighting the stove. If you are starting with a cold stove, the door
should be left ajar for the first few minutes. In order to build up an insulating layer of ash in
the bottom of the stove, you should burn 1,5-2,0 kg of dry kindling when you light the stove
the first time.
Always keep approx. 1 cm ash in the bottom of the combustion chamber.
Important!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts
to burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly, open
the combustion air to max. or leave the door ajar to
allow in the amount of air needed to light the wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a
strong build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause
an explosive ignition of the flue gases with the risk
of material damage and personal injury.
1. A layer of embers will form if the stove is lit with 1,5-2,0
kg of wood along with a couple of firestarters. Follow this
method: Place two logs (each weighing 0.25-0.5 kg) on the
bottom grate. Next, place approximately 0,5 kg dry kindling
on top of the logs. Just beneath the top of the kindling place
the firestarters. Ignite the firestarters.
2. Open up completely for the secondary air supply by means
of the regulation lever. (pull to the right)
3. After the firestarters have caught fire, leave the fire door
ajar about 1 cm so that the chimney draws well.
4. When you can see that the chimney is hot enough to draw
(after 5-10 minutes), close the door. If all the necessary condi-
tions are met, a thick layer of embers will have been formed in
the combustion chamber after another 40 minutes.
5. Re-stoking should normally be carried out while embers
still remain. Distribute the embers in the bottom, ensuring
that most of them are at the front of the stove.
6. Place 1 log weighing approximately 0.5-0,9 kg and 20-
25 cm long, over the embers. The best combustion is ob-
tained if the longitudinal dimension of the logs is parallel
with the rear wall of the stove.
7. When the secondary air supply is opened to maximum
and the door is closed, the new quantity of wood will ignite
in a few minutes.
