5. Refuelling of your stove should be done while
there are still glowing embers in the bed. Spread the em-
bers across the bottom, but concentrated mostly towards
the front of the stove.
6. Place three pieces of fuel weighing roughly 1 kg and measu-
ring about 36-38 cm in length across the embers in one la-
yer, with spacing of roughly 1 cm between the pieces of
wood.
7. When the secondary air supply is opened (upper air con-
trol) all the way and the door is closed, the new fuel will
ignite in a few minutes.
8. Once the new fuel has taken, adjust the secondary air
amount to the desired setting; optimal combustion will con-
tinue until glowing charcoals are produced.
Make sure that there is always enough air (oxygen) to
maintain clear, lasting flames when, and after, reducing
the amount of combustion air.
Under normal chimney draft conditions, expect to refuel
your stove every 50 - 60 minutes.
9. A new charge of wood can be added by repeating steps 5 &
6.
Important!
It is important that the fresh quantity of wood starts
to burn quickly. To ensure the fuel lights quickly,
open the combustion air to max. or leave the door
ajar to allow in the amount of air needed to light the
wood.
If, however, the wood only smoulders, there will be a
strong build-up of smoke, which at worst can cause
an explosive ignition of the flue gases with the risk of
material damage and personal injury.
