4. Open the ignition
(fi g. 15B)
and air vent
(fi g. 15A)
fully
until the wood has caught fi re properly and is burning well.
5. Check that afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, fl ickering fl ames in front of
the holes under the baffl e.
6. Close the ignition vent and regulate the air vent as required.
7. The ash pan must always be closed when the fi re is lit.
8. The ash grate
(fi g. 15C)
should be half-open when the fi re
is lit.
Adding fi rewood
• Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of
fuel at a time. If the stove is fi lled too full, the heat created
may cause extreme stress in the chimney.
•
Add fuel to the fi re in moderation.
• Avoid
smouldering
fi res as this produces the most pollution.
The fi re is best when it is burning well and the smoke from
the chimney is almost invisible.
5.3 Danger of overheating
The fi replace must never be used in a manner that
causes overheating
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or
too much air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign
of overheating is when parts of the stove glow red. If this
happens, reduce the air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the current of air
in the chimney is incorect (too much/too little draught). (For
further information, see ”Chimney and fl ue pipe” under 4.0
Installation).

• The product is fi tted with an ash grate
(fi g. 16A)
. Activate
the handle
(fi g. 16B)
to empty ash out of the burn chamber
into the ash pan
(fi g. 16C)
.
Important! Never empty ash into a fl ammable container.
There may still be embers in the ash long after the fi re has
gone out.
• Make sure that the ash pan
(fi g. 14C)
never gets so full
that it prevents the ash from falling through the ash grate
and down into the pan.
