Door/glass
Check that the air ducts in the frame of the lid are free from ash and soot. The lowest duct, especially,
should be vacuum cleaned often. A sooty glass door can easily be cleaned with a piece of moist kitchen
roll dipped in ash. Go about it in vertical movements (up and down). Follow up with a dry piece of kitchen
roll. Check frequently to ensure that seals in the door and ash pan are intact and not brittle. Failing this,
they should be replaced. Use original seals only.
Soapstone
Soapstone is a natural product that must be allowed to adapt to fluctuations in temperature, so great care
must be taken when stoking the stove the first few times. We recommend following the procedure below:
1. First stoking
Push the regulating rod (1) to the extreme right and fully open the sliding dampers (2) in or beneath
the door. Put kindling with a diameter of between 2-5 cm, corresponding to about two pieces of wood,
(maximum 2 kg) into the stove. Put two fire-lighters between the top layers of kindling, light them and
allow the flames to spread. Keep the door ajar until condensation no longer forms on the glass (after
about 5-10 minutes). Close the door. Move the regulating rod (1) to middle position when all of the
kindling is burning. When the fire has gone out, open the door and leave it open while the stove cools
to room temperature.
2. Second stoking
Push the regulating rod (1) to the extreme right and fully open the sliding damper (2) in or beneath the
door. Put kindling with a diameter of between 2-5 cm, corresponding to about two pieces of wood, (maxi-
mum 2 kg) into the stove. Put two fire-lighters between the top layers of kindling, light them and allow the
flames to spread. Keep the door ajar until condensation no longer forms on the glass (after about 5-10
minutes). Close the door. Move the regulating rod (1) to middle position when all of the kindling is burning.
When no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be
stoked again. There is a suitable layer of embers when the bottom of the stove is covered completely.
Half fill the combustion chamber with dry wood with a diameter of about 7-9 cm. Also move the sliding
damper (2) to middle position when all of the fuel is burning. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove
cool to room temperature before stoking again.
3. Third stoking
Repeat the procedure for the second stoking, but put in more wood this time. Allow the fire to burn and
let the stove cool to room temperature after the fire has gone out.
Surface
The surface normally requires no treatment. Any damage to the coating may be remedied using a Seno-
therm spray.
