lighting and fuelling

note:
If airsystem is connected, the valve must be open�
tIpS before firing up:
open a door or window close to the wood burning� If there is a "storm" in the stove
coming from the chimney, it is advisable to place a screwed-up piece of newspaper be-
tween the upper baffle plate and the chimney, set the paper on fire, and wait until you
hear a "rumbling" noise in the chimney� this means that there definitely is a draught in
the chimney and you avoid smoke in the room�
"top-down" lighting
• open the door fully until it is locked in the open position�
• Start by placing approx� 1 kg of wood ( i�e� 2 pcs� of split logs) at the bottom of the
combustion chamber� place approx� 1�2 kgs of dry firewood, split into kindling sticks,
on top the logs and a couple of alcohol briquettes or similar (1)�
• light the fire (2-3)
• close the door and leave it ajar by pulling the door handle�
• close the upper convection plate of the stove� (turn handle
clockwise)�this ensures a faster heating of the stove�
• When the fire has caught the kindling wood (4) close the door completely (after ap-
prox� 3-10 min�, depending on the draft conditions in the chimney )�
• When the last flames are extinguished and there is a nice layer of embers (5), add
1-2 pieces wood - about 1-1 ½ kg�
• close the door completely�
• If necessary keep the door open for a few minutes to
start the fire�
• the upper convection can now be opened again (turn
handle counterclockwise)� hereby more warm air will
emit to the dwelling�
