2. CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR STOVE

Approved fuels

Dry, well cured and natural wood (hardwood).

Maximum amount of fuel

Maximum amount of fuel to be added: 1,6 kg wood. Larger

amounts of fuel can lead to overheating and thus damage the

stove.

Clean burning

The wood must be dry (relative wood moisture < 15%) and

untreated and the right amount of wood must be burned in

order to ensure a clean fire that releases only small amounts

of emissions.

Startup procedures

During the first 3-4 operations - at nominal heat output - there

may be some odour development and the paint has not yet

hardened.

Making a fire

For the correct and safe operation of your stove please pay

attention of the chimney developing the necessary feed

pressure. This must especially be considered before the

initial operation (or e.g. after the summer heating break) and

during the mid-season heating periods (e.g. at strong wind,

etc.).

If there is not enough feed pressure, please light only some

paper or small kindling first, in order to "warm up" the stove

and the chimney.

The air inlet must not be covered or closed.

Clean grate, empty ash drawer if necessary (watch out for

ambers!)!

Position the lever for the combustion air to the open ("AUF")

position (see fig.2 and 4).

Place 2-3 logs (approx. 1,2 kg in total) crossways in the

combustion chamber (1) with sufficient distance from each

other (min. 2 cm), on top of that place some softwood

chippings (approx. 0,7 kg) (2) and some ignition aid and light.

Close the door!

We recommend to let the first load burn down without

changing the air lever position.

As soon as no visible flames are left (only embers in the

combustion chamber), you can put another load of logs

(approx. 1,6 kg) in the combustion chamber if desired. (see

fig. 5)

When reloading the stove please repeat the procedure as

mentioned under "first lighting": air lever top position (= open),

open door carefully, place logs, close door.

After a few minutes, when the logs burn well on all sides

(bright, high flames), you can adjust the heat output with the

air lever (lever on top position = maximum heat output), the

flames should be yellow and never look blueish or have black

tips (otherwise add more air) – see fig. 4. Never close air

supply completely during operation. (danger of flash-fire!)

The stove door may be opened only for refuelling or disposing

of ashes and is to be closed again afterwards.
