Starting the Stove
Do not elevate the fire on a grate. Build fire directly on the hearth inside the stove.

The air control rod (1) is pushed farthest to the right and the air wash control in or
under the door (2) is opened completely. Place 2 fire lighters at the bottom. On top of
this, place an amount of split kindling wood equivalent to two logs (approx. 4 lbs or 2
kg). Now light up. Keep the door slightly opened until there is no more condensation
(approx. 5-10 minutes). Shut the door. When all the kindling have caught fire, the
regulation rod (1) is pushed in the middle position. Let the kindling burn until there are
no more visible flames.
Warning! Do not open the ash pan when lighting up and always keep it closed when
the stove is in use, otherwise you may damage or destroy the automatic control.
Open the stove door only during lighting, re-firing and cleaning.
Refueling the Stove
When there are no more visible yellow flames, and a bed of embers covers the
bottom of the stove, you can add more wood. Place at least two logs weighing up to 1
kg or 2-3 lbs. each in the stove. If you place only one log, the fire may burn
inefficiently causing a loss of heat and increasing soot on the glass.

After refueling the stove you may adjust the air wash control to the middle position.
When in continuous use, no further adjusting is necessary. This is done automatically.
However, the temperature can be adjusted up or down by the air control rod (1).
Moving the rod to the left reduces burning and prolongs the burning time. Moving the
rod to the right rises the temperature and reduces the burning time. When both
controls are in the middle position, the highest efficiency is achieved. Postpone every
new firing till the ember bed is suitably low.
