2.1 lighting instructions and fuelling intervals

A lot of air is needed when lighting the stove. If you are starting with a cold stove, the door
should be left ajar for the first few minutes. In order to build up an insulating layer of ash in
the bottom of the stove, you should burn  kg of dry kindling when you light the stove the first
time.
Always keep approx. 1 cm ash in the bottom of the combustion chamber.
1. A layer of embers will form rapidly if the stove is lit with
- fuel tablets or 7-10 rolled-up sheets of newspaper
underneath approx. - kg dry kindling.
. Open up completely for the secondary air supply by means
of the regulation lever.
. After the paper/solid alcohol tablets have caught fire, lea-
ve the fire door ajar about  cm so that the chimney draws
well.
. When you can see that the chimney is hot enough to draw
(after 5-10 minutes), close the door. If all the necessary
conditions are met, a thick layer of embers will have been
formed in the combustion chamber after another 15-0 mi-
nutes.
5. Re-stoking should normally be carried out while embers
still remain. Distribute the embers in the bottom, ensuring
that most of them are at the front of the stove.
6. Place - logs of firewood, each weighing approximately
0.7-1 kg and 0-50 cm long, over the embers in one lay-
er separated by approximately 1 cm. The best combusti-
on is obtained if the longitudinal dimension of the logs is
parallel with the rear wall of the stove.
7. When the secondary air supply is opened to maximum and
the door is closed, the new quantity of wood will ignite in
a few minutes.
8. Subsequently, the secondary air supply is adjusted to the
desired level, and the optimum combustion will continue
until only embers are left.
Under the nominal test, the refill interval was 60-70 minu-
tes.
9. A new portion of wood can be added by repeating steps
5 & 6.
