Choice of fuel

All types of wood such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, softwoods

and wood from fruit-trees can be used as fuel in the stove.

Different types of wood have different densities. The denser

the wood, the greater the energy value. Beech, oak and birch,

for example, are all very dense.

Fresh wood comprises 50% water, some of which circulates

freely between the fibres, while the remainder is stored in

the cells. Wood should always be allowed to dry so that the

freely circulating moisture evaporates. Wood is not suitable

for burning until the moisture content has fallen below 20%.

Burning wood with a higher moisture content means that a

great deal of energy is used to boil away the water. Damp wood

also burns poorly, leaving deposits of soot and tar on the lining

of the chimney. In severe cases it can even cause chimney

fires. In addition it makes the glass on the stove sooty and

causes inconvenience to people in neighbouring houses.

To ensure that the wood you use is dry, fell timber in the winter

and store it over the summer, well ventilated and under cover.

Never cover your wood pile with a tarpaulin that reaches to

the ground, This simply seals in the moisture and prevents the

wood from drying out.

Keep firewood indoors for a few days before you use it. That

way any surface moisture will evaporate.

You can easily check the moisture content of wood by weighing

a small sample piece before and after it has been dried in an

oven at 80°C for 24 hours. Then calculate the moisture content

by dividing the weight of evaporated water by the total initial

weight of the piece of wood (in other words, wood + water

content).

Important.

Under no circumstances whatsoever may fossil fuels, pres-

sure impregnated wood, painted or glued wood, chipboard,

plastic or colour brochures be used as fuel. When burned,

all of these release hydrochloric acid or heavy metals which

are hazardous to the environment and damage your stove.

Hydrochloric acid can also corrode the steel in the chimney

and cause brickwork to crumble and decay.

For good combustion, it is important to ensure that the wood

you use is of the correct size:

Kindling wood: fine-split logs

Length: 25 - 33 cm

Diameter: 2 – 5 cm

Amount: 2,2 kg (approx. 8–10 fine-split logs)

Wood: split logs

Length: 25 – 33 cm

Diameter: 7 – 9 cm

Normal amount: 1,7 kg/hr

Max. amount: 2,5 kg/hr (Re-stoke with max. 3 logs at a time)

Normal refueling interval: 50 minutes

Lighting the ﬁre

It is important to use the right amount of wood, especially

when first kindling the fire. Before lighting the fire for the first

time, weigh the wood on kitchen scales to get an idea of how

much 2.2 kg of kindling wood is. Check, too, to see how much

the “normal” and “maximum” amounts are.

The stove is designed to be used with the door closed. Always

open the door slowly and carefully to prevent the sudden

change of pressure in the fire-box from blowing smoke into the

room.

A stove reacts in different ways depending on the draught in

the chimney. You will normally need to light a fire and use the

stove for a few times before you arrive at the optimum setting

for the air supply control, the right size for the logs and the

correct amount of wood to use.

Starting the ﬁre

Important!

Please note that if too little wood is used when lighting

the fire, or if the pieces of wood are too large, it will not be

possible to attain the optimum working temperature in the

fire-box. This can result in poor combustion and may lead to

a heavy build-up of soot, or cause the fire to die out when

the door is closed.

If the house has mechanical ventilation and there is negative

pressure indoors, open a window near to the stove before

lighting a fire. Leave the window open for a few minutes until

the fire is blazing.

To get a good bed of glowing embers quickly, there should

always be a thin layer of ash and carbonised wood in the stove.

IMPORTANT!

The handle on the left which controls the grate disc should

be in the closed position when the fire is burning.

1. Open the air supply control fully.

2. Place screwed-up balls of newspaper or a firelighter in the

middle of the fire-box and stack about 2.2 kg of finely split

wood on top in a criss-cross pattern.

3. Light the fire.

4. Leave the door slightly ajar for a while, with the lower latch

just engaging on the latch-pin. After about 5 or 10 minutes,

once the fire is burning well, close the door. (See illustration

below.)

5. Before the flames die, stoke the fire with 2 or 3 logs that

together weigh 1,7–2,5 kg. After about 5 minutes when the

logs have caught fire properly, you can reduce the supply of

combustion air.
