Periodically, it may be necessary to change the gaskets
on the door to ensure that the burn chamber is air tight
and working optimally. These gaskets can be bought as
a set, usually including ceramic glue.
3. Advice on Lighting a Fire
Combustion pace
A heat storing product should not be burned in too
aggressively as this may damage the product. In
order to get the most out of a heat storing product, it is
therefore important to optimise the combution pace and
the size of the loads. Read the combustion rates and
load sizes that apply to your product.
The best way to light a fire is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising flyers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a fire.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the flue is
hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, paraffin, methylated spirits or similar for
lighting a fire. 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%. Humid wood
requires a lot of air for the combustion, as extra energy/
heat is required for drying the humid wood and heat
effect is therefore minimal. In addition this creates soot
in the chimney with the risk of creosote and chimney fire
.
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 on 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.
Burning
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
Warning:
In order to avoid injuries, please be
aware that the surfaface may become hot during
operation and that extra care need to be taken to
avoid skin burn.
In case of a chimney fire, close the door and air
supplies on the stove and call the Fire
Brigade. After a chimney fire the chimney must in
all cases be inspected by an authorized chimney
sweeper before you use the appliance again.
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very
quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely high
temperature (when burning with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never fill the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the stove. Wood
species have different degrees of hardness - the higher
the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch havest the highest degree of hardness.
Attention! We do not recommend the use of fuel
briquettes / compact wood in our combustion chambers,
as these products may develop significantly higher
temperature than the combustion chamber can
withstand. Burning briquettes / compact wood is at your
own risk and can cause invalidity of the warranty.
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 stove. Hydrochloric acid can also corrode
the steel in the chimney or masonry in a masonry
chimney. Also, avoid burning bark, sawdust
or other extremely fine wood, apart from when
lighting a fire. This form of fuel can easily cause
a flashover that can lead to temperatures that are
too high
