1. A layer of coals will form rapidly if the stove is lit with
2 - 4 fire lighters or 7 - 10 rolled up sheets of news-
paper, underneath roughly 1 kg of dry kindling.
2. Fully open the the secondary air supply. Push the air
control right in.
3. After the paper/firelighters have caught fire leave
the fire door ajar 2-3 cm so that the chimney draws
well.
4. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should be es-
tablished, at this point close the fire door. If all the
necessary conditions are met, a nice layer of embers
will start to accumulate after another 15 - 20 minu-
tes.
When refuelling your stove, it is recommended that you open the stove door gently for the first
2 - 3 centimetres, then wait for a few seconds for the pressure in the flue to equalise; you are
now safe to proceed and open it all the way. By using this technique smoke spillage can be
eliminated particularly in poor chimney draft conditions. The stove door should not be opened
when the stove is being fired vigorously.
