Lukket/Closed
• The inlet air lever (Fig. 19A) is behind the front. If an outside
air duct (Chapter 4.4) is installed, the lever must be in the
closed position. Turn it to the left.
• If an outside air duct is not installed, the lever must be in
the open position. Turn it to the right.
NB! The only time this lever needs to be set is when the product
is installed.
Lighting the fi re
• Open the ignition and air vents by turning the control levers
to the right. (Use a glove or something similar in case the
control levers are hot).
• Place two logs at the bottom of the burn chamber and pile
the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fi re.
After lightning
• Close the ignition vent (Fig. 18 B) when the wood has caught
fi re properly and is burning well.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the
heat you want by adjusting the air vent (Fig. 18A).
• Check that afterburning (secondary combustion) starts. This
is best indicated by yellow () fl ames in front of the holes
under the baffl e (Fig. 18C).
• If the chimney draught is normal, the fi re will take care of
itself.
Important! An inadequate air supply can lead to poor combustion,
high emissions and a lower level of effi ciency
Adding fi rewood
• Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of
fuel at a time.
• If the stove is fi lled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney.
• Add fuel to the fi re in moderation.
• Avoid smouldering fi res as this produces the most pollution.
• The fi re is best when it is burning well and the smoke from
the chimney is almost invisible..
4.13 Warning against overheating
Never overstoke the fi replace!
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating
is when parts of the stove glow red. If this happens, reduce the
air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is
Åpen/Open
not drawing properly (too much/too little draught). (See «4.7
Chimney and fl ue pipe" for information.).
