hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, karosine, alcohol or similar for lighting
a re. This could cause injury to you as well as
damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid

In case of a chimney re, close the door and air
supplies on the stove / insert and call the Fire
Brigade. After a chimney re the chimney must in
all cases be inspected by an authorized chimney
sweeper before you use the appliance again.
Storing of wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Firing
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass

amount of wood. Too many logs put on hot ember, may
result in combustion air starvation, and the gases will
be released unburnt. For this reason it is important to
increase the air supply just after adding the logs.
Choice of fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the insert. Wood

dense the wood is, the higher the energy value. Beech,
oak and birch has the highest density.
Attention! We do not recommend using fuel
briquettes/ compact wood in our products. Use of
such fuel may cause the product to overheat and
exceed the temperatures determined safe.
Burning briquettes/ compact wood is at your own
risk and only small amounts (max 1/3 of normal
load) should be used for each load.
Warning
NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood,
plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons,
printed material or similar. If any of these items
are used as fuel the warranty is invalid.
Common to these materials is that they
during combustion can form hydrochloric
acid and heavy metals that are harmful to the
environment, you and the insert. Hydrochloric
acid can also corrode the steel in the chimney
or masonry in a masonry chimney. Also, avoid
ring with bark, sawdust or other extremely ne
wood, apart from when lighting a re. This form
of fuel can easily cause a ashover that can
lead to temperatures that are too high.
Warning Make sure the insert is not overheated
- it can cause irreparable damage to the product.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
