Hea ng advice
NB:
Logs that have been stored outdoors or in a cold room should
be brought indoors approx. 24 hours before use to bring them up
to room temperature.
There are various ways of hea ng the stove, but it is always
important to be careful about what you put in the stove. See the
sec on on
"Wood quality".
NB: Burning with a poor air supply can cause insuffi cient
combus on, reduced energy effi ciency and increased emissions of
par cles, black carbon and other compounds that are harmful to
health and the environment.
Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood such as
birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no more than
20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut no later than in late winter.
They should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good
ven la on. The wood stacks should be covered to protect the logs
from rain. The logs should be brought indoors during early autumn
and stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel in
your fi replace:
•
Household rubbish, plas c bags, etc.
•
Painted or impregnated mber (which is extremely toxic).
•
Laminated wooden planks.
•
Dri wood
•
These may harm the stove and are also pollutants.
Never use petrol, paraffi n, methylated spirit or similar liquids to
light the fi re. You may cause serious injury to yourself and damage
to the product.
