Fuel
Clean, dry firewood
Only cleaved firewood with a moisture content of ≤20% is suited for use in this appliance. Hard wood types such as
oak, birch, beech or wood fruit trees are preferred. You may also burn wood briquettes. It’s also important to use
the correct length and an appropriate amount of firewood.
Damp wood results in incomplete combustion, making it pollutant. It’s also difficult to light, extinguishes easily and give
off significantly less heat compared to dry wood. Finally, soot can be deposited on the glass, in the appliance or the
chimney.
Safe and natural firing
It’s strongly recommended to start the fire with biomass firelighters or chopped wood, not with newspaper. Liquid
fuels are prohibited!
Use only environmentally friendly fuels
Under no circumstances burn impregnated wood, plywood, pallet wood, chipboard, waste or newspaper in your
insert. This is quite rightly prohibited by the environmental legislation. During the combustion of these fuels high
concentrations of harmful substances are released.
The combustion of above-mentioned fuels is also harmful for the inset fire and chimney. The temperature in the
appliance can rise too high with the risk of a chimney fire.
First use
The inset fire may release smoke during first use. These aren’t combustion gases but rather smoke coming from the
paint to bake in and dry. This smoke isn’t toxic but it’s recommended to ventilate the room. Also, during this process
it isn’t recommended to touch the paint.
