If the wood has the right water content it will start to burn after approx. 20 to 45 seconds.
•
To make sure that no soot and tar is formed in the chimney, only use wood with a water
content between 15 and 20%. The water content can be measured with a moisture meter.

3.7.5. The setting change when moving from lighting to general operation
•
Close the door when yellow/light flames appear. The start-up air must be closed (the knob
on the left under the door). The stove is now controlled by the secondary air (right knob
under the door).
•
If a slower combustion is wanted then push the secondary knob further in, depending on the
level desired. However never close it completely.
•
To ensure good combustion and a good airflow in the chimney it is a good idea to keep an
eye on the chimneys temperature if possible. This can be measured on a non isolated chim-
ney about 1 m above the stove with a TermaTech chimney thermometer. A good temperature
for the chimney is between 100 and 300 degrees c°.

3.7.6. Relighting when the stove is in operation
•
When the wood has burnt to embers carefully open the door and add 2-3 pieces of wood
(1,5-2kg.)
•
Close the door and control the stove with the secondary air (knob on right). If extra air is
needed open the start-up air (knob to the left) for a period of max 10 minutes.
Incidents
•
The glass door soots up
Solution
•
The fire in the burning chamber is not hot enough. Open for the secondary air and the soot
will burn off quickly.
•
The wood is too moist.
•
A lack of draught in the chimney.
