3.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3.4 - Lighting The Stove For The First Time Cont.
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 - After Use & Maintaining Perfect Burn
After using the stove, remove the ash from the combustion chamber before lighting another fire. Always
empty the ash drawer before each use, while the unit and the ashes are cold. Please note leftover ash can
obstruct the air supply and damage the grate. Continue the lighting procedure according to the section
"Lighting the fire for the first time".
Load more fuel only if the current fuel is glowing and flames are not visible any more. When loading more
fuel, open the door of the combustion chamber slowly so that the smoke gases cannot flow out through the
door. Place the amount of fuel necessary for the desired heating capacity on the embers, leaving an inch
of space between each piece, levelling the glowing embers. Set the air regulators according to the nominal
capacity as desired after it has burned down to embers. Always maintain optimal burning!
Repeat the procedure after the fuel has burned down. Never put more fuel in the stove at one time than is
specified, which is shown in the technical data sheet. Only one portion of fuel can be burned at the same
time. Load more fuel, only the fuel in the unit already, has burned down. Always check that there are not too
many glowing embers piling up in the combustion chamber. Do not restrain the fire, load less fuel instead
and never close the primary air regulator completely.
Your stove is equipped with an automatically closing door. It can be operated only with a closed door. Open
the door only if you want to load more fuel and only if the previous amount has burned down to embers.
The condition of proper operation of the stove is the appropriate chimney draught (feed pressure). This is
considerably dependant on the temperature of the outer environment. In cases of higher outer temperature
(above 15oc) feed pressure can considerably fall and it can disturb proper operation. Do not use the appliance
in such cases.
