Initial fire-up in steps

1. Open the air slide completely by pulling it towards the front of the
stove. This is the kindling position.
2. Light a large ball of dry paper against the back plate of the burning
chamber and allow this fire to go out again.
3. Fill the stove with a handful of dry and thin kindling wood and light it.
When it burns properly, close the air slide a bit by pushing it
inwards.
Stir up the fire off and on by setting the door ajar for just a moment
each time.
4. Allow the fire to burn up and the stove to cool off for an hour so that
the moisture in the firebrick can evaporate. Some liquid might come
free from the ceramic fire-brick. Therefore place an old towel
underneath the stove before firing-up
5. After an hour, you will start bringing the entire stove to the proper
temperature using first some thin kindling wood.
Use the kindling position of the air slide until the fire burns
properly.
6. Then use thicker logs, ± 5x5 cm thick and 20 cm long. At the same
time, leave the aeration slide open. Close it a little bit when the fire is
burning properly.
