your new Ø-Collection stove is En-approved for burning wood.
However, the stove is capable of burning other solid fuels as manufactured smokeless coal or
good quality anthracite (stove nuts).

Before burning solid fuel
Install the chrome iron basket into the firebox.
Lighting with solid fuel
All air vents must be fully open during the lighting process.
Start by placing 5-0 crumpled sheets of newspaper or 2 firelighters on the grate of the stove;
then carefully spread approximately  kg of well-dried kindling on the top. Light the paper/fire-
lighters. Once the kindling has fully ignited, gradually add a small quantity of solid fuel, adding
a little bit more once it has ignited. Continue in this manner until the entire grate is covered with
glowing coals. The level of fuel in the stove should never exceed the level of the front grate.
Once the bottom half of the fuel bed is glowing, you should partly close the bottom vent (on
the ash pit door). Once the stove has reached your desired temperature you can maintain the
output by opening further for more heat or closing for less heat. The secondary air regulator
must always be open just enough so that the flames burn almost clearly and the ceramic glass
window stays clean.
Note: In cases where smokeless fuels containing petrocoke are burned, a pale greyish layer
may be deposited on the inner glass surface when the stove is lit. Fuels containing a high
content petrocoke may cause a glistening in the surface of the ceramic glass. Although
visible, the structure of the glass will remain intact and the stove safe. Glass affected in
this way is not covered by manufacturer's guarantee.
In order to maintain the combustion process, the entire grate area must remain covered by
glowing coals. If the coal layer is too shallow you will have less heat.
You must empty the ash pan whenever it becomes full. Different fuels have different ash content
and therefore the regularity of the de-ashing process can vary.
Fuel storage
Your fuel supply should always be stored in a suitable, weather-tight coal bunker. These are
usually available through your approved coal merchant.
