Heating value in wood
You have to use about 2.4 kg normal wood to
replace one litre of heating oil. All woods have
almost the same heating value per kg, which
is about 5.27 kW/hour for absolute dry wood.
Wood with a moistness of 18% has a efficiency
of about 4.18 kW/hour per kg, and one litre hea-
ting oil contains about 10 kW/hour.

At combustion 1000 litres of heating oil forms
3.171 tons CO
. As wood is a CO

energy source, you save the environment about
1.3 kg CO
every time you have used 1 kg nor-

mal wood.
Chimney fires
In the event of a chimney fire – which often re-
sults from incorrect operation or protracted fi-
ring with moist wood – close the door and shut
off the secondary/start-up air supply to smother
the fire. Call the fire department.
Regulating the airflow
To adjust combustion airflow, use the handle at
the front under the door. Combustion air flow is
fully open when the handle is as far as possible
to the right. To close gradually, slide the handle
to the left. Fig. 1.

Lighting the stove
Place two pieces of wood on the bottom. Stack
kindling on top in layers with air between. Set-
ting fire starter (bag, brick, paraffin) on the top,
now you are ready to light the fuel. The flames
must work from the top down.

Open
The use of lighter fluid, oils or
any liquid fuels is strictly forbid-
den from use in a wood stove.
Fully open the combustion air and leave the
door ajar (about 1 cm open).
Once the fire is established and the chimney is
hot (after about 3-5 minutes) closed door and
regulate the air into operating position. We re-
commend, all of the first fuel is burned with the
combustion air fully open in the operating po-
sition. This ensures the stove and chimney are
thoroughly heated.
Startup/Lighting
Scan the code and select a
language.
Refueling
Refueling of your stove should be done while
there is still a good layer of embers. Distribute
the embers with the majority of them to the
front. Place pieces of wood equivalent to about
about 1,7 kg. on top of the embers perpendicu-
lar to the door.
Open the combustion air completely and pos-
sibly. the door ajar (it is not necessary to keep
the door ajar, but it can accelerate the ignition
of the wood).
The wood will then ignite within a very short time
(Typically 1 to 3 minutes). Once the fuel is Ignited.
Close the door and regulate the air back to ope-
rating air. When the fire is well established, you
can now regulate the operating air to the desired
combustion level.
Nominal heat out-put is 7 KW, equivalent to the
operating air at about 80% open.
Ensure when refueling that the wood is not too
close, it will cause poorer combustion, less heat
out-put and lower efficiency.
When refueling be careful to place
the fuel into the combustion cham-
ber gently, (use the provided glo-
ve). By not doing so you risk crack-
ing or breaking the vermiculite.
If there is reduced draft in the chimney, we re-
commend opening a window at stoking. This will
give better ventilation to the room and more oxy-
gen for combustion.
