Follow the general instructions, see the sections “Lighting the stove” and “Stoking”.
Lighting the stove
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove
and a cold chimney challenge the combustion process. Be careful to make a good lighting with
suitably dry wood, using kindling and lighting the fire in the top layers of kindling. It is important
to achieve a high flue gas temperature quickly.
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 fireligh -
ters 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.
Important! The ash pan must not be opened during the lighting stage and must always be
kept closed when the stove is lit or the WIKING
®
Automatic™ might be damaged. Only open
the door when lighting the stove, refuelling it and cleaning it. Never leave a stove before there
are lasting flames in the wood after firing!
Stoking
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. Carefully open the door to prevent smoke and embers from
escaping. Place 2 pieces of chopped firewood (approx. 1-2.5 kg) on top of the embers. Close
the door again and fully open the air supply by moving the regulating lever to the extreme left.
When the wood has caught fire properly, the air supply can be gradually reduced by moving
the air control lever to the right until uniform, steady combustion is achieved. The further to
the right the air control lever is moved, the less heat the stove will give off. But it is important
not to regulate the air supply below a level at which there are still visible flames and steady
combustion.
During combustion, the outer surfaces of the stove will become hot, and due care must
therefore be shown.
When burning is complete
When the stove is not in use, turn the air control lever all the way to the left.
Cleaning the glass
We recommend wiping the glass after a fire. This is best done using a paper towel.
Fuelling with coal or pet coke
The stove is not approved to use coal or pet coke as a fuel.
