open when the damper is pushed to the left. To open the primary air intake the damper should be pulled
out. The illustration below shows the stove seen from the front with the dampers indicated.
2) Place a log of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log. Light the
firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an angle above it. Air
must be able to reach the firelighters, but the logs should be touching to “warm” each other.
3) Keep the door approx. 1 cm ajar, until the glass is too hot to touch. Then close the door.
Important: The control handle will get warm when the wood burning stove is being used. Please use the glove
provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
3.4 The first time a fire is lit
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from the
wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make sure there is
sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the first 2–3 times, so
that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly. You should also be aware that the stove may make clicking
sounds as it heats up and cools down – rather like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great
differences in temperature to which the materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg of wood, the stoking door must be left
slightly open and must not be closed until the stove is cold. This is to prevent the sealing rope sticking to the stove.
3.5 How should I use my wood burning stove?
The wood burning stove is intended for intermittent combustion. This means that each stoking should burn down to
embers before new logs are added.
In order to obtain the best possible combustion, you should regulate the effect/heat output with the fuel. Burning
small logs provides more powerful combustion than burning large logs as the surface area is greater and more gas
is released. The amount of wood in the combustion chamber is another factor that affects combustion. In normal
circumstances, you should not place more than two logs in the stove. If you want an enhanced effect, you can add
more logs. The nominal heat output is reached by burning approx. 2 kg per hour.
