Feed the fire regularly with small amounts of logs. Don't overfill the chamber. It is important
that the wood is dry and well-cut so that the surface area of the logs is large. This gives the
optimum combustion performance.
NOTE
The MAX loading mark for logs is indicated by the row of holes in the back plate.
Operation with door left open
Operation with the door open can cause excess smoke. The appliance must not be
operated with the appliance door left open except as directed in the instructions.
Combustion
It is always a matter of firing so the flames are clear when you look through the glass,
otherwise more air must be supplied. It is always sensible to have an ash layer lying in the
bottom of the stove, it facilitates lighting, and at the same time insulates the bottom of the
appliance. The ash is removed as needed.
Warning:
The ash can contain embers and therefore must be transported and stored in
suitable containers 2-3 days prior to disposal via domestic waste.
Faster or increased heat output
This is achieved by burning more small logs or sticks.
Increased burning time
This is achieved if few, larger pieces of wood are burned. Remember, sufficient air must
always be supplied for the combustion, so that a clear flame pattern is maintained.
Low firing
If the vermiculite in the combustion chamber is black after use, it is a sign that Combustion
is not being optimised. This is both inefficient and bad for the environment. Always have
sufficient airflow to ensure a bright clean flame in the combustion chamber. Maintaining
higher temperatures in the combustion chamber releases all the gases from the wood,
which are then burnt off.
Soot formation can be due to wet wood, poor draft in the chimney or incorrect firing.
Warning! Parts of the fireplace, especially the exterior surfaces, will become hot during
operation. Therefore, caution should be exercised.
