3. Third stoking
Repeat the procedure for the second stoking, but put in more wood this time. Allow the re to burn and
let the stove cool to room temperature after the re has gone out.
Restoking
Follow the general instructions, see the sections “Lighting the stove” and “Stoking”.
Lighting the stove (drawing E)
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a cold
chimney challenge the combustion process. It is important to achieve a high ue gas temperature quickly.
Turn the regulator (1) clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter) horizontally
in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 0.9-1.2 kg). Place 6-10 pieces of kindling
randomly on top. Place 2-4 relighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the re-lighters and close
the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close again.
When the kindling is burning well, turn the regulator (1) to middle position. If the re goes out when
the regulator is turned, return it to maximum position again until the fuel catches re and then turn it
to middle position again. Allow the kindling to burn up completely until there are no longer any visible
ames. The stove can then be stoked again.
Important! The ash pan must not be opened during the lighting stage and must always be kept closed
when the stove is lit or the Autopilot might be damaged. Only open the door when lighting the stove,
refuelling it and cleaning it.
Stoking (drawing E)
When no more yellow ames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be stoked
again. A suitable ember layer is when the bottom of the combustion chamber is covered by embers which
are shining brightly. Put at least two pieces of wood into the stove, weighing up to 1.15 kg each. Do not
regulate the stove again as the Autopilot system will do this, but the temperature can be adjusted with
the regulator (1). Turning it to minimum (counter-clockwise) will reduce the rate of combustion and make
the stove burn slower. Turning to maximum (clockwise) will increase the rate of combustion and make
the stove burn faster. Wait until the layer of embers is suitably low before stoking again.
During combustion, the outer surfaces of the stove will become hot, and due care must
therefore be shown.
The stove is not approved to use coal or pet coke as a fuel. However, briquettes can be used to fuel the
re and should be placed on the embers produced by the burned wood. Turn the regulator to its full
clockwise position until the briquettes fully ignite.
Remember that the regulator must then be turned to the left again.
Be aware that using fuels other than wood, will cause soot to form on the glass pane.
Operating the heat compartment damper
There is a damper at the back of the stove between the top plate and the heat compartment that opens
and closes the ow of convection air in the heat compartment. The supply of convection air can be opened
by moving the damper to the left and closed by moving the damper to the right.
To store heat in the heat storage stones in the heat storage area as quickly as possible, it is recommended
that the convection vent be kept closed while the re is lit.
With the convection vent closed, the heat storage area retains the heat stored in the heat storage stones
for the longest possible duration. If the vent is opened, the heat stored in the stones in the heat storage
area will be released into the room as quickly as possible.
