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 and the combustion air supply opened to maximum.
In order to build up an insulating layer of ash in the bottom of the stove, you should burn 1-1.5
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. We recommend using the "top-down" method to light your
wood-burning stove. It is the most environmentally-friendly
method of lighting. Use two firelighters and approx. 1.5 kg of dry
kindling sticks to quickly create a glowing layer of wood. Place
the firelighters directly under the top layer of kindling sticks.
2. Open the air supply as much as possible. This is done
using the handle above the door.
3. After the paper/solid alcohol tablets have caught fire,
leave the fire door ajar about 5-10 cm so that the chimney
draws well.
4. When you can see that the chimney is hot enough to draw
(after 5-10 minutes), close the door. If all the necessary condi-
tions are met, a thick layer of embers will have been formed in
the combustion chamber after another 15-20 minutes.
