use to get the fire started, and to regulate the air supply with the upper air slide
only. In case the air supply through the upper slide seems insufficient, or if you
would like to fan the fire, you can partially open the lower air slide for a while.
Always keep the stove doors tightly closed. Never let the doors open when the fire is
burning.
Add extra fuel when necessary. Never add too much fuel. It is best to fill the stove
for one third and to top it up on a regular basis.
Always open the filling door slowly and for a short space of time. Before filling up,
the charcoal bed should be carefully spread open. Check whether the coals are glow-
ing enough just behind the log retainer, so that the added fuel will immediately
catch fire. If necessary you can open the lower air slide for a while.
Open stacking will make the logs burn very intensely, as the oxygen can easily reach
every part of the fire. This method of stacking is applied when burning wood for a
short while. Compact stacking will make
the fire burn slower, as the air can only
reach the outer parts of the fire. This
stacking method is best used when
burning for a longer while.
Low intensity fires cause tar and creo-
sote to deposit in the chimney after a
long period of time. Tar and creosote
are highly combustible substances.
Thicker layers of these substances
might catch fire when the temperature
in the chimney increases suddenly and steeply. Therefore it is necessary for the fire
to regularly burn very intensely, so that thin layers of tar and creosote immediately
disappear.
Low intensity fires also cause tar to deposit on the stove panes and doors.
When it is not too cold outside it is better to let the stove burn intensely for just a
few hours a day.

Burning coal
You need a coal-basket for burning coal.
WHEN BURNING CHARCOAL THE AIR SLIDE
ABOVE MUST ALWAYS BE KEPT CLOSED.
As soon as the fire is sufficiently stable and
there is enough glow, the first shovel of coals
can be put onto the fire. Complete the filling
once the coals have caught fire. Make sure you
do not quench the fire by putting too much
coals onto it at a time.
Once the fire has burned for a while, adjust the air slide at the bottom of the door.
Before adding some extra coals, open the air slide
below completely. Use the shaker
grate or the supplied shovel, and shake
till the glowing parts fall into the ash plate;
then add the coals. After a few minutes, adjust the air slide. Add some more coals
until you can only see the glow of the previous filling.
When the fire basket or the cast-iron plate fins are red-hot, you are heating too in-
tensely.
