9. Preparation for the first fire
Once your stove is installed and all instructions have been read, the first fire can be
started. However, please take careful note of the following:
The baking liner should be removed before the initial lighting. A sudden temperature
change could cause it to crack. Tiles and soapstone are not covered by the warran-
ty, so ensure that they are at least at room temperature before lighting up the stove.
The baffle plate and vermiculite panels may crack under hard impact. These are not
covered by the warranty, so avoid tossing the wood in the firebox.
Avoid touching the stove during initial fires , as the paint is hardening at this stage.
Otherwise this may cause scratches in the paint.
It is a good idea to ensure effective ventilation during the first firing, as the stove will
generate smoke and an odor of paint. The smoke and paint odor will dissipate after
about 1 hour’s operation and is not hazardous to health.
Do not use grate or elevate Fire – build wood fire directly on hearth.
10. Lighting the stove
1. Turn the air wheel to the maximum (startup air)
2. Add crumbled paper / firelighters and kindling wood to the bottom of the
fire box (combustion chamber).
3. The kindling (about 3 lbs or 1.5 kg) is to be built up crosswise.
4. Light the fire.
5. The door should be ajar for a couple of minutes during the lighting phase.
6. The air wheel must be adjusted down after approx. 10 minutes (primary
air); how much depends on the chimney draft - however, the air supply
must be diminished to the point where you obtain steady and calm flames.
WARNING - Once there is a good bed of embers in the stove, you can add wood. It
is important not to open the door while there are flames in the stove, as
this may cause smoke to flow out int o the room. Add wood on the basis
of your heating requirements. However, never add more than 4.4 lbs or
2 kg of wood every 1.5–2 hours. Please remember that the exterior sur-
faces especially the top and front of the stove in particular will become
very hot during burning. Also, handle the glass door responsibly and do not strike or
slam shut. NEVER operate with broken glass.
11. Refueling
1. Turn the air wheel to the maximum.
2. To minimize the back draft, the door should be ajar for about one
minute before you open it completely.
3. Open the door slowly.
4. Add 2 – 3 pieces of firewood to the combustion chamber.
5. Close the door.
6. Turn down the air supply when the fire has caught the wood, to obtain
steady and calm flames.
