2.1 Lighting and refuelling intervals
A lot of air is needed when rst lighting the stove. When starting with a totally cold stove,
it may be helpful to leave the door ajar (2-3 cm) during the rst few minutes; the secondary
air intake, - the upper valve should be fully open. You should build and maintain the ash bed
to a thickness of approximately 1 cm.
The lower valve is only used during the start-up phase and only if you experience bad draft
conditions.
1. We recommend using the “top-down” method to light your
wood-burning stove. It is the most environmentally-friendly
method of lighting. Use two relighters and approx. 1.5 kg of dry
kindling sticks to quickly create a glowing layer of wood. Place
the relighters directly under the top layer of kindling sticks.
2. Fully open the top vent so that the secondary air supply
can enter the rebox.
3. After the paper/re lighters have caught re, leave the
re door ajar about 2-3 cm, so that the chimney draws well.
4. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should be estab-
lished, at this point close the re door. If all the necessary
conditions are met, a nice layer of embers will start to ac-
cumulate after another 15 - 20 minutes.
