will considerably dampen the pleasure of burning your
stove and the heat output.
Do not put any paraffin-containing logs in your stove.
When the door is closed, the high heat will melt the
paraffin from the logs too quickly. The polluted flue
gasses which consequently develop will deposit on and
burn in the glass of your stove and cannot be removed
later.
Do not use any wood that is painted, impregnated, glued
together or processed in any other way. The flue gases
are very harmful to the environment and may affect your
stove. It is also prohibited to burn plastics and other
waste matter due to poisonous smoke development.
The best way to burn your stove
All WANDERS’ stoves are designed so that they give a
maximum output. A well-lit wood-burning stove can
produce a yield of about 75%. This means that you need

a few tips to give you optimum pleasure:

will improve the output within 8 to 10 times. When
the door of the stove is open, the chimney will draw
more air than is needed for proper combustion. The
relatively cold air will cool the fire. It will also preclude
fire damage by any sputtering sparks, especially from
softwood.

much fuel at one time thwarts efficient combustion
and burdens the environment unnecessarily.

A crackling fire has a minimum air consumption of
25 cubic metres an hour. Never put on your cooking
hood when you have a stove burning in the same
space.

or when there is no wind outside. There is hardly
any draught in the cold chimney when the weather
is calm. Since smoke is heavier than air there is the
chance of smoke streaming into the room. In foggy
weather, the smoke from the chimney (outside) cools
quickly and may descend and become a nuisance in
your neighbourhood.

Chimney and flue
The chimney is the most important part of your wood-
burning hearth.
When the chimney is right it will not distribute any smoke
into your room, leave any deposit on the glass pane or
create bad combustion. Before starting the installation
of the stove, your installer or a qualified chimney sweep
must check whether the chimney flue has a diameter
of at least 150 millimetres over the entire length, and
whether the channel is clean, smooth and leak-proof.

empty ash pan is important since the stove also draws
in combustion air via the ash pan.

What to do in case of chimney fire.
In case of chimney fire, immediately close the
shut-off valve in the chimney and all air supply
ducts. Call the fire department. After the fire is
extinguished, the chimney and the stove must be
inspected again by your installer.
Chimney with a proper draught
Warm air wants to ascend. This is the principle of
every chimney. It helps when the wind near the
chimney mouth draws the air from the chimney.
Fall wind may give the opposite effect and blow
the air back into the chimney. Relatively cold foggy
air may thwart proper draught in your chimney as
does a long flue pipe with a rough inside and many
bends. If the natural draught in your chimney is
poor your installer can give you information about
using a ventilator for your flue tube.
