Maximum loads of dry wood per hour of operation
Maximum output:
20 kW
Rated output
: 14kW
The rated output of 14 kW corresponds to approximately 3 kg of loaded wood, i.e. 3 logs measuring 35 cm.
It is at this output that your fireplace performs optimally.
Example output
: 9kW
However, depending on the size of your house and the temperatures required, you can use the fireplace at
a lower output; by loading approximately 2 kg of wood (for example 2 logs measuring 35 cm), the power
released by your fireplace will be approximately 9 kW.
