FIRST START-UP
We recommend that the first start-up be performed with
caution, using fine and seasoned wood.
The combustion air inlet must be completely open.
When combustion has started up, normal sized wood can be
introduced.
The flame must be as laminar as possible.
During the various reloading processes, the fire door must be
opened slowly to avoid smoke being released into the room.
Proceed as follows:
Place a small ball of scrunched up paper into the stove.
Cover the paper with a small quantity of twigs and a few
pieces of wood.
Open the combustion air damper completely (right-hand
lever).
Light the paper and if necessary keep the door open a few
minutes until the combustion chamber and the flue pipe begin
to warm up.
Once the twigs have caught alight, you can shut the door.
As the fire gradually burns, add wood. In all cases, never overload the
stove with wood (see the technical data in the table).
As soon as the flames have died down and a bed of embers has
formed, load the stove normally.
Small loads are preferable to large loads of wood for
combustion.
We recommend you implement this fuel loading method, also in all
subsequent appliance use.
To achieve the nominal heat output, introduce the wood
load indicated in the technical data table into the
combustion chamber (
chapter 3). The stove's running time
is approximately 45 minutes. On completion of combustion,
reload the stove again.
