USE

5.1 VENTILATION
If wood is to burn, it needs air. For each kilo of wood that you put on the appliance (door
closed), 10 - 15 m 3
Depending on how the appliance has been installed, the combustion air will either be
drawn directly from outside or from the living room itself. If the air is drawn in from the
room, it must be ventilated by an opening in the external wall.
If the combustion air is led outside through a pipe, we recommend that a sealing valve
is fi tted in this pipe. This prevents condensation forming in the appliance when it is not
in use. Ensure that the fl ap is always open before using the appliance.
5.2 GETTING THE APPLIANCE GOING
When you start the appliance, the chimney is still cold and there is little draught.
Before the fi re is lit, turn the operating handle completely to the right (maximum air
supply). Open any chimney valve and the valve in the external combustion air pipe.
Place 4 wood blocks in the combustion chamber and place several fi re lighting sticks
on them diagonally. Place 2 fi re lighting blocks between the fi re lighting strips. Ensure
that fi re lighting strips are placed above the fi re lighting blocks. Refer to the illustrations
below. Light the fi re lighting blocks and close the door as soon as they are well lit. After
approximately 20 minutes the wood blocks will be completely lit. Leave the door closed
as long as fl ames are visible. The appliance can be loaded again as soon as all of the
fl ames have disappeared.
Attention: If the door is opened during the lighting process, while all
of the wood has not yet been burned, smoke can escape.
Only open the door when you need to load more wood.
