Wood types
The fireplace insert is only approved for wood burning.
It is recommended to use split birch or beech wood that has been seasoned for at least 1
year, preferably 2 years, outdoors in a suitable covered log store. Wood stored indoors
tends to become too dry and burn too fast. However, it is always a good idea to take the
wood in 2-3 days before use.
Oak and pine must be stored for 2 years before being used, as the wood may contain
resins or other substances harmful to the fireplace insert.
It is forbidden to burn chipboard, lacquered, painted, or treated wood
Treated or painted wood, plastic, liquid fuels, rubber, milk cartons and newspapers contain
substances that can damage the glass.

The maximum amount of fuel specified in this manual should not be exceeded, overloading

If there is insufficient burning material in the firebed to light a new fuel charge, excessive
smoke emission can occur. Refuelling must be carried out onto a sufficient quantity of
glowing embers and ash that the new fuel charge will ignite in a reasonable period. If there
are too few embers in the fire bed add suitable kindling to prevent excess smoke

pulled out to increase air supply or pushed in to reduce air supply. This damper regulates
the preheated air across the width of the entire door.
Dampers left open
