Heating
Fig. 11
Leave the ignition-/air vent 24 mm open (fig. 11) when the
•
wood has caught fire properly and is burning well.
• Close the door.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the heat
you want by adjusting the air vent.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames in front of
the holes under the baffle.
Adding firewood
Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at
a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the
chimney is almost invisible.
4.9 Danger of overheating
The fireplace must never be used in a manner that
causes overheating
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is not
drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further
information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe).

5.0 Daily use

Odours when using the fireplace for the first time
When the fireplace is used for the first time, it may emit an
irritating gas which may smell slightly. This happens because
the paint dries.The gas is not toxic but the room should be
thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn with a high draught until
all traces of the gas have disappeared and no smoke or odours
can be detected.
