Lighting and continuous firing at EN-testing
1. The ashpan must always be closed completely, also when you light the fire.
The damper/start-up device can be opened (the knob is pushed down and to
the right) for a few minutes at lighting. Put about 10 kindling sticks (dia. 2-3
cm) in the bottom of the stove, laid in a criss-cross pattern as a log house.
Put 2 firelighters in the middle and light them.
2. Leave the door ajar so there is an opening of about 2-3 cm. Leave the stove
like that for about 8-10 minutes before you close the door completely. Stay
by the stove as long as the door is ajar.
3. When the fire has burned to embers (there are no more flames) open the
door gently so the ash is not whirled out through the door. Gently spread
out the embers with a poker so they are even.
4. Put 2-3 pieces of firewood in the stove, about 1.7 kg total. The pieces are
put in the bottom of the stove and parallel to the front of the stove with
equal distance to the stove's sides and with mutual distance of about 1 cm.
The front piece is best lit if it has a split side that is turned to the door and
one in the embers. Close the door completely immediately.
5. The knob/damper is opened so it is about 2/3 open (between the left and
middle position) and after about 2 minutes the damper is set to about 1/3
open. How much the damper should be open depends on the individual
chimney's draught, but the flames should now stabilise to a calm fire.
6. When the wood has burned to embers (after about 1 hour) you start again
from point 3.
