QUICK LIGHTING

It is important that the wood catches fire 
quickly. Quick lighting is achieved by opening 
the combustion air damper fully or by leaving 
the door in the lighting position for a moment. 
Smouldering, i.e. reduced air supply, results 
in poor combustion and efficiency with high 
emission discharges and can, in worst-case 
scenarios, cause rapid gas ignition resulting in 
stove damage. 

Wood loading

1.  Open the door handle slightly and let the vacuum in the firebox equalise 

for a few seconds before opening the door completely. 

2.  Add 2-3 logs of a combined weight of approx 1.5-2.2 kg. One log is 

placed diagonally and one or two 
logs are placed parallel to the 
back, see illustration to the right. 
Then close the door.

3.  The combustion damper must be 

completely open for 3-5 minutes 
until the logs turn black and 
catch fire. If you wish for slower combustion, the supply of combustion 
air can now be reduced. The conditions for controlling combustion 
vary depending on the temperature in the stove and the draft in the 
chimney.

4.  The lowest output of 4 kW is usually obtained when the combustion 

damper is 45% open and two logs are lit. In this operating mode it is 
important that the combustion air damper is fully open for the first 
3-5 minutes so that the wood has the chance to ignite fully before the 
supply of combustion air is reduced. A condition of being able to control 
the heat output is a thick bed of embers and a high temperature in the 
firebox. When the fire has burnt down to embers is the time to add 
more wood.

DEFRA exempted
The stove can be used in Smoke Control Areas. Smouldering, i.e. reduced 
air supply, are prevented by blocking the combustion damper of 4 kW 
output.

Lighting

If your house has mechanical exhaust air ventilation you will need to open 
a window near the stove before lighting the fire. Leave the window open for 
a few minutes until the fire has caught.
1.  Open the controls for the combustion air fully.
2.  Place some newspaper or a fire 

lighter block, and approximately 
2,5 kg kindling in the middle of the 
stove. The wood should be piled 
alternately across and lengthways.

3.  Light the fire.
4.  The hatch is set to the lighting position, i.e. the outside of the lower 

locking hook must lie against the lock reel. If the air gap between the 
hatch and the body is too large a whirlwind is created in the stove and 
the flames will hit the side glass resulting in sooting. When the fire has 
caught fully after approx 10-15 minutes, close the hatch completely. 
A fresh load of logs should not be put on until the start-up fire has 
become a glowing bed of embers.

Correctly sized wood

Note that if too little kindling is used when lighting, or if the wood is too 
thickly cut, the fire box will not reach the correct operating temperature. 
Incorrect lighting can lead to poor combustion with heavy sooting and may 
result in the fire going out when the door is shut. 

Kindling wood: Finely chopped wood
Length: 25-35 cm
Diameter: 3-4 cm
Weight per lighting: 2.5 kg (approx. 10 - 12 finely chopped pieces)

Feeding Wood: Chopped wood
Length:  25-35 cm
Diameter: 6-7 cm
Normal weight: 1.5 kg/hour
Max weight: 2.5 kg/hour (2-3 logs per load)
Normal refueling interval: 50 minutes

LIGHTING IN THE RIGHT WAY

It is important that the correct amount of wood is used, especially when 
lighting. If you are lighting the fire for the first time you should use a set 
of scales to see how much 2.5 kg kindling is. Also check what the normal 
and maximum weights look like. 

The stove is only intended for use with the door closed and it is only then 
that the hot air flushing of the glass surfaces occurs. Always open the door 
carefully and slowly to prevent blow back because of the changing pressure 
in the stove.

The function of stoves differs depending on the draft conditions in the 
chimney. Achieving the correct setting for the combustion air damper 
usually takes a few attempts.
In order to obtain a good bed of embers, there should always be a thin 
layer of ash and charred pieces in the stove.
