Warning against overheating
Never overheat the fi replace
The fi replace has been designed and tested for use at a nominal
output of 7 kW. This corresponds to a combustion rate of about
2.3 kg of wood per hour.
The maximum amount each time is 3.4 kg per hour (3-4 logs
at a time).
Important!
• Never have a fi re burning with the ignition vent fully open
for any length of time. A sure sign of overheating is when
parts of the stove glow red. If this happens, reduce the air
vent opening immediately.
• Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught).
Odours when using the fi replace for the
fi rst time
When the fi replace is used for the fi rst time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This is because the paint
on the outside is drying. The gas is not toxic but you should
open some windows to ensure the room is thoroughly ventilated.
Let the
fi re burn with a high draught until all traces of the gas
have disappeared and no smoke or odours can be detected.
5.4 Fuel requirements
Wood quality
Chopping and storing wood
• You can use any type of wood as fi rewood. However, harder
types such as beech and ash are generally better as they
burn more evenly and create less ash. Other wood types,
like maple, birch and spruce, also make excellent
fi rewood.
• Firewood is best if you fell the tree and saw and split the
wood before May 1st.
• Remember to cut the logs to the size of your stove’s
combustion chamber. We recommend a diameter of 6 to
10 cm and the length should be about 10 - 20 mm shorter
than the combustion chamber, to leave enough space for air
to circulate. Logs with a larger diameter than this will need
splitting before use. Split wood dries faster.
• Sawn and split logs should be stored in a dry place for 1 to
2 years before they are su ffi ciently dry to use.
• It’s a good idea to bring logs in to stand at room temperature
for a few days before using them.
Moisture
To avoid environmental problems and to ensure optimum
burning e
ffi ciency, the wood must be completely dry before it
is used as fi rewood:
• The moisture content should not be more than 20%.
• A moisture content of between 15% and 18% yields best
results. An easy way to check if wood is dry is to knock two
logs together. If the wood is damp, the logs will sound dull
when knocked together.
• If the wood used is too damp, most of the heat it produces will
be used to evaporate the water. The stove does not heat up
and does not heat the room. This is not economical. It also
causes soot to build up on the glass, in the burn chamber and
in the chimney. Burning damp wood also causes pollution.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials
as fuel in your
fi replace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, para ffi n, methylated spirit or similar
liquids to light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to
yourself and damage to the product.
5.5 Wood consumption
Wood consumption, at nominal heat output: Approx. 2.3 kg/h.
The size of the logs should be:
Kindling ( fi nely split wood):
Length: 30 - 50 cm
Diameter: 6 - 10 cm
Quantity for kindling: 3 logs weighing 0.6-0.8 kg each and 10
to 12 sticks weighing about 1 kg in total.
Stoking the fi re:
Wood (split wood):
Length: 30 - 50 cm
Quantity required each time: 2 or 3 logs weighing 0.7 kg each,
i.e. 1.5-2.0 kg each time.
Stoking frequency: Approx. 50 minutes
Nominal heat output is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 40% to 70% and the ignition vent is open 0%
to 50%.
When testing in accordance with the EN 13229 standard, the
amount used is 3 pieces of 1.7 kg.
Vent setting: 50% opening of the ignition vent and 50% opening
of the air vent.
6.0 Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the glass
The product is equipped with an air wash for the glass. Air is
sucked in through the air vent on the top of the product and
down along the inside of the glass.
Good advice! For normal cleaning, moisten a paper towel with
warm water and add some ash from the burn chamber. Rub it
over the glass and then clean the glass with clean water. Dry
well. If it is necessary to clean the glass more thoroughly we
recommend using a glass cleaner
(follow the instructions on
the bottle).
6.2 Ash removal
• Only remove ash when the fi replace is cold.
• Use a scoop or similar to remove the ash through the door.
• Always leave some ash as a protective layer on the bottom
of the fi replace.
