3.2.1 Use with wood: See figure 4
Lighting
• Slide the top secondary air control to open. Open the primary air control.
• Open the door & lay a reasonable quantity of firelighters or rolled up newspapers on the grate, if
necessary also use dry kindling wood. Place 2 or 3 small logs on top.
• Light the newspaper or firelighters using a long taper and close the door.
• When the fire is burning fiercely, add further logs of a diameter up to 10 cm.
• When the stove body is very hot, close the primary control.
• The burning rate can now be lowered by moving the top secondary air control to a smaller air inlet.
Re-fuelling: See figure 4
• Slide the top secondary air control to open. Open the primary air control.
• Open the glass door and add logs. (To load fuel, the door should be opened slowly, avoiding a sudden
rush of intake air, so that smoke does not escape into the room).
• Close the glass door.
• Leave the primary air control open for a few minutes to allow the initial volatiles in the wood to
burn.
• Close the primary air control.
Very Important:
Wood is a material that contains a great deal of gas (approximately 75 %). The gases are released when
the wood is ignited and heated up. For this reason, it is important that the gases are ignited quickly
after stoking. If the wood just lies smoldering, especially after re-stoking, a lot of smoke is created,
which, in the worst case, may cause an explosive ignition of the gasses, resulting in damage to the
stove.
In order to ignite the gases that are released from the wood, and to keep clear, lasting flames during the
combustion process, it is important to let in the required quantity of oxygen (air supply) at all times.
The setting of the air supply, the method of ignition and the lighting intervals depend on the draught in
the chimney, the wind and weather, the amount of heat required & fuel, etc. This means that it may
take some time before you get to know the correct functioning of the stove under any given
circumstances.
