the fire burning evenly. The secondary air intake is closed when the damper is pushed all the way to
the right and 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. When there
are distinct, visible flames and the fire has taken hold, close the primary air intake/damper.
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
