3. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE

Initial startup of your stove

Your stove was treated with a special environmentally

friendly lacquer. The lacquer surface is still soft when

the stove is deliverd. The lacquer will harden when

your stove is used for the first time. The lacquer

surface must not be touched when it is heated for the

first time. The stove must be initially heated at a high

temperature for at least 1.5 hours. Visible vapors may

appear during the hardening of the lacquer. Therefore

it will be necessary to open the windows during the

initial operation in order let the vapors escape into the

outdoors.

PLEASE TAKE NOTE: It takes several heating

sessions before for your stove releases only the

pleasant smell of burning wood.

Approved fuels

Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood

preferred), wood briquettes.

Maximum amount of fuel

Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,3 kg wood

or 1,3 kg wood briquettes

can lead to overheating and thus damage the stove.

Clean burning

The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture

< 15%) and untreated. The right amount of wood

must be burned in order to ensure a clean fire that

releases only small amounts of emissions.

Making a fire

wood chips, igniter materials (such as Austroflamm

wood lighter), wood. Figure 1 provides a good

overview of quantity of the materials you will need.

connecting the stove pipes to the chimney. Your

professional dealer or distributor knows these laws.

Please have your certified retailer carry out the

connection of your stove

Lay one or two logs of wood on the wood chips.

Figure 3: igniting the fire

Light the ignition aid. Close the firebox door. As soon

as the chips burn well, close the primary air supply

See figure 2.

Figure 4: close the primary air

As soon as the wood logs are burning well too, you

can regulate the heating capacity with the secondary

air slider. (slider set to the maximum ("AUF") setting

produces maximum heat – see figure 2.)

When adding wood to the fire, follow the same

procedure as when igniting the fire: Open primary air,

open secondary air, carefully open firebox door, lay

wood on the fire, close the firebox door.

Wait until the added wood catches fire and is burning.

Then close the primary air. Subsequently regulate the

fire with the secondary air supply.
