2.1 Lighting and refuelling intervals
Kindling (dry sticks) requires a large volume of air for quick combustion. When lighting the
stove from cold it will help to keep the main door ajar (2-3cm) for the first few minutes and
the air supply should be fully open during lighting (right handle). When only burning wood it is
recommended that a 1 cm deep ash bed be established and maintained on the grate of the
stove.
When firing with wood, the riddling grate must be closed, i.e. the riddling lever must be
pushed all the way in. When draught is poor, letting in a little primary air through the grate
may facilitate firing; however, it should be noted that this supply of air may cause temporary
sooting of both stones and glass. If primary air is used, the riddling grate must be opened by
pulling out the riddling lever.
1. A layer of embers will form rapidly if the stove is lit
with 2 - 4 fire lighters or 7 - 10 rolled up sheets of
newspaper, underneath roughly 1-2 kg of dry kind-
ling.
2. Fully open the secondary air supply that is control-
led by the right handle beneath the ash lip.
3. After the paper/fire lighters have caught fire, leave
the fire door ajar about 2-3 cm, so that the chim-
ney draws well.
4. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should be es-
tablished, at this point close the fire door. If all the
necessary conditions are met, a nice layer of em-
bers will start to accumulate after another 15 - 20
minutes.
