Wood
When you light the stove for the first time it should not be stoked excessively as all the materials must be
given time to adapt to the effects of heat. The lacquer will be fully hardened after the stove has been used,
and the door and the ashpan should be opened very carefully as there will otherwise be a risk that the
gaskets will stick to the lacquer. In addition the lacquer may initially give off an unpleasant odour, so make
sure that the room is well ventilated.
Tips about fuel
Approved fuel types
The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried
chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 18%. Stoking a fire with wet wood results in soot,
environmental problems, and a less efficient fuel economy.
Recommended wood types
All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel in your
wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood types per
cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common spruce, it will take more
common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic metre of beech.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, fluid fuels,
and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood or fossil fuels. The reason that
you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health
hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove
and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
The wood’s water content of a maximum of 18% is reached by storing the wood for a minimum of one
year, preferably outdoors in an open shed exposed to sun and wind.
The wood must be dry (max. 18% water contents) before it is stored indoors. It is recommended that
kindling wood is stored indoors for a couple of days prior to use.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped) 25-33 2-5
Chopped wood 25-33 7-9
Special fire lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or sandstone cladding
Soapstone and sandstone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We
recommend following the procedure below:
1. The first stoking
Open the door. Place split kindling with a diameter of 2-5 cm the equivalent of approx. two pieces of
wood (a maximum of two kilos) in the stove. Place two fire-lighters in between the top layers of kindling.
Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. Set the temperature level to level 1. Let the fire burn
out and do not restoke even if there is a restoking alarm. When the fire has died out completely, the door
must be opened and stay open while the stove cools down to room temperature.
2. The second stoking
Open the door. Place split kindling with a diameter of 2-5 cm the equivalent of approx. two pieces of wood
(a maximum of two kilos) in the stove. Place two fire-lighters in between the top layers of kindling. Light
up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. Set the temperature level to level 2. When there is a restok-
ing alarm, you should restoke. Fill the combustion chamber half way up with dry wood of a diameter of
