Subject to change because of technical improvements
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two to three layers of kindling crosswise on
top of the logs.
3. Place a firelighter between the bottom layer of kind-
ling and light the firelighter according to the instruc-
tions on the packaging.

4. Close the appliance door and open the primary
and secondary air inlets; see the following figure.
5. Allow the fire develop into a good blaze until there
is a glowing bed of charcoal. You can then add fuel
and adjust the appliance, see the chapter "Stoking
with wood".

Maximum amount of wood
To stoke continuously at the rated power, wood must
be added every 45 minutes. If you use a smaller
amount of wood each time, you can add wood more
often. Each stove is designed to work with a specific
maximum amount of wood. If you use a larger quantity
of wood, the heat output increases. This can cause
the hearth to be overloaded and parts can be dam-
aged.
Allowable maximum amount of fuel when using wood
with a moisture content of 15%:
TAI 45WT 8 kW has a maximum fill load of 1.8 kg
wood per 45 minutes.
Fill the combustion chamber to at most 1/3
capacity, and never add wood above the open-
ings for secondary air.
Burning wood
After you have followed the instructions for lighting:
1. Slowly open the door of the appliance.
2. Spread the charcoal evenly across the bottom of
the stove base.
3. Stack a few logs on the charcoal.
Open stacking

If the logs are stacked openly, the wood will burn
quickly as the oxygen can reach each log easily. If
you want to use the stove for a short while, make an
open stack.
