Using the Air Damper
To achieve good combustion, which results in better heating efficiency, it is important to add
the right amount of air to the fire. Air is regulated with a user-friendly, one-lever system that is
located under the stove door; see drawing D.
When lighting a cold stove and when fuellingwith new wood, the regulating lever must be pu-
shed to the extreme left to give the fire maximum air supply. When the fire is burning well, the
air supply can be gradually reduced by moving the regulating lever to the right.
The fire will die out if the regulating lever is moved to the extreme right. This setting should
only be used in the case of overheating, if there is a fire in the chimney and when the fire in the
stove has been allowed to go out completely in connection with cleaning, for instance.
Special fire lighting guide for stoves with stone and tile cladding
Stone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We recommend
following the procedure below:
1. First stoking
Move the air control lever to the extreme left to fully open the air supply to the combustion
chamber. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in
the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg).
Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place 2 firelighters between
the top layer of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door.
If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and
close again.When all of the wood has caught fire, the air supply can be
gradually reduced by moving the air control lever to the right until uniform,
steady combustion is achieved.When the fire has gone out, open the door and leave it open
while the stove cools to room temperature.
2. Second stoking
Move the air control lever to the extreme left to fully open the air supply to the combustion
chamber. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the com -
bustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 pieces of kindling randomly on top.
Place 2 firelighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the
stove door. If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close
again. When there are no more visible yellow flames, and a right ember is there, you can fire
again. The layer of embers is suitable when the pieces of wood begin to disintegrate and the
bottom of the stove is covered by embers. Place 2 pieces of new firewood (up to 1-2,5) with a
diameter of approx. 7-9 cm in the combustion chamber. When all of the wood has caught fire, the
air supply can be gradually reduced by moving the air control lever to the right until uniform,
steady combustion is achieved. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to room temperature
before stoking again.
3. Third stoking
Repeat the procedure for the second stoking. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to
room temperature after the fire has gone out.
