Using the Air Damper
To achieve good combustion, which results in better heating efciency, it is important to add
the right amount of air to the re. Air is regulated with a user-friendly, one-lever system that is
located under the stove door; see Figure B.
When lighting a cold stove and when fuellingwith new wood, the regulating lever must be
pushed to the extreme left to give the re maximum air supply. When the re is burning well,
the air supply can be gradually reduced by moving the regulating lever to the right.
The re will die out if the regulating lever is moved to the extreme right. This setting should
only be used in the case of overheating, if there is a re in the chimney and when the re in the
stove has been allowed to go out completely in connection with cleaning, for instance.
Some Things Worth Knowing about Firing
Maximum Firing Amount
Fuel Maximum amount per hour
Wood 2.4 kg
Warning: Too much heat can destroy your wood-burning stove, the chimney and your re-
place ducts. Therefore, if you exceed the abovementioned limits, your wood-burning stove,
chimney and replace duct will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee.
Normal Firing Interval for Nominal Firing
Fuel kg Normal ring interval
Wood 1.0 45 min
Please note: The stove is approved for intermittent use.
The EN test is performed with 2 logs, both with a length of 16 cm, cross-section approximately
7.5 x 7.5 cm placed in vermiculite back plate to door orientation. It is burned with the air control
set to max (the control lever pushed all the way to the left). After three minutes, it is regulated
down to 40% (control lever set slightly less than half way to the right).
The Difference between Short and Long Combustion Times
Short combustion time
You achieve a rapid and strong heat if you burn several, smaller pieces of wood.
Prolonged burning
You achieve a long burning time if you burn a few, slightly larger pieces of wood (max. 1 kg per
piece, and always 2 pieces). You can extend the burn time by further closing off the air when
the ames are dying out. When stoking, adjust up for maximum air (control lever is moved fully
to the left). When the wood is burning well, slowly adjust the air down (control lever is moved to
the right). You should not regulate below the point where there are continuously large, visible
ames from the wood. When the wood has burned about 20 minutes and the ames are not as
active, the air intake can be adjusted further down.
