it is advised not to use very oil-
containing woods like teak tree
and mahogany, as this can cause
damage to the glass.
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 heating oil contains
about 10 kW/hour.

Chimney fires

In the event of a chimney fire – which
often results from incorrect operation
or protracted firing with moist wood
– close the door and shut off the se-

the fire. Call the fire department.

The secondary airflow is completely

the handle and is completely closed in
bottom position. The start-up airflow

Shut off the damper gradually by lo-
wering the handle to the bottom.

Lighting
To ignite the fuel, use fire lighters,
small paraffin ignition bags or small
pieces of wood placed on the bottom
grate. Place larger pieces of wood on
top of this kindling material, at right
angles to the firing, doors. Complete-
ly open the start-up and secondary air
supply and leave the firing door ajar
– i.e. approx. 1 cm open. Once the
fire has taken a good hold of the fuel
and the chimney has heated up (after
about 10 min) close the firing door.
We recommend that you burn the
entire first firing with the secondary
air supply fully open to make sure that
the chimney is thoroughly heated.
Refuelling
You should normally refire the stove
