3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.4 - Lighting The Stove For The First Time
Follow the directions below when you light the fire for the first time.
High Burning temperature is necessary for the fuel to catch fire quickly, so put enough fire-starter on the
grate at the lower part of the combustion chamber. Use 2 or 3 smaller pieces of kindling.
After lighting the fire, shut the door leaving it ajar/open slightly (only for the first fire, after which you will
close it completely) and open all air regulators. After the wood has caught fire you can reduce the amount of
the air flowing in. All nominal capacity settings can be found in the technical chart.
After a layer of glowing embers has been formed and you can't see any flames, you can place more fuel on it
again and set the desired capacity with the aid of the air regulators.
Always maintain optimal burning. If you use too much fuel or let too much air flow into the combustion
chamber, you might overload the appliance. This leads to high temperature and emission that can be avoided.
On the other hand; too little air results in imperfect burning and high emission.
The stove is painted in high quality heat resistant lacquer that gains its final stability during the first heating.
The smell during the first heating derives from the evaporation of the protecting lacquer in the paint. As a
precaution, the heated room should be well ventilated from time to time (every 1-2 hours).
Do not put anything on the stove before the first use and do not touch its surface as it will cause damage to
the lacquering. Use protective gloves for your safety and for the sake of keeping the lacquer intact. The doors
of the stove should be kept slightly open during the first use so the insulation cord doesn't stick to the front
of the stove.
3.5 - Regulation of Combustion Air
Primary air controller
OPEN ....Ignition adjustment and max. heating output
CLOSED....Nominal heat output with wood
CLOSED....glow
Secondary air controller
OPEN ....Ignition adjustment and max. heating output 1/5
OPEN ....Nominal heat output with wood
CLOSED....glow
• As the secondary air also contributes to the cleanliness of the glass pane, the secondary air controller
must always be moved in the direction of the open position while the stove is lit.
• When not operating all controllers should be closed, to reduce the cooling down of the room.
• As the performance of your stove is very much dependent on the chimney draught, the primary air
controller has to be adjusted according to your own experience. Please note that you should not use your
stove if there is not an adequate air supply (slide valve setting too low), as this causes the emissions to
increase.
