Heating and normal burning
Please observe the following instructions when starting the stove:
• The stove may only be operated with the combustion chamber lining in place.
• Air extraction devices (in the kitchen, bathroom, toilet, etc.) must be switched off to prevent
smoke spillage.
• Before lighting always check that the stove has a sufficient supply of combustion air.
• Move the control lever fully to the right and open the firebox door.
• In the centre of the combustion chamber lay some split logs on the grate with a few smaller split
logs on top of them then place the kindling on top.
• Place firelighters in among the kindling and light them. Leave the combustion chamber door
open approx. 3 cm. (Do not leave the stove unattended when the door is open)
• Do not use paper, petrol, oil, spirit, or other flammable liquids to start the fire.
• Once the kindling and smaller split logs are burning well the combustion chamber door can be
closed.
• Leave the air supply lever in the fully right position for another 10-20 minutes.
• After the stove has reached its operating temperature, the air lever can be set to the middle
position. Once the fire has settled adjust the lever for a regular burn - aim to always have a good
flame pattern above the burning logs and that will give a clean and efficient burn.
• The door should only be opened slowly when refuelling so that no flue gases are drawn into the
living space.
• Do not refuel until you have just a bed of red embers. Please take note of the information in the
Technical Details section regarding the wood feed rate per hour.
• If the chimney draft is very strong, the wood can burn too fast. Regulate the air supply with the
air lever for a steady and economical burn. Do not let it burn without a good flame as attempting
to run it too slowly will lead to a smoky, dirty burn and black glass.
