Firewood (split logs):
Recomended length: 30 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 - 12 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 60 minutes
Size of the fire: 3,1 kg
Mengde pr. ilegg: 4 stk.
5.4 Initial lighting
• Light the fire as described under «5.5 Daily use».
• Light the fire for a couple of hours and ventilate any smoke
and smell from the product.
• Repeat this a couple of times.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the first time.
Painted products: The fireplace may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not toxic,
but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn
with a high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared
and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fireplace the first few times it is used. This must be wiped
off to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats
up.
5.5 Daily use
The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fireplace,
meaning that each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.
1. Open both vents fully by pushing it to the righ (fig. 4A-B).
(Use a glove, for example, as the handle can become hot.)
2. Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the
base.
3. Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these
and add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on
top and light the newspaper. Increase the size of the logs
gradually.
4. Leave the door slightly open until the logs catch fire. Close
the ignition vent and the door when the firewood has
ignited and the fire is burning briskly.
5. Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the draught vent (fig. 4B).
6. If the riddling grate is to be used the grate has to be closed
when the fireplace is being used.
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is 100%
open.
5.6 Adding firewood
• Each load should burn down to embers before new firewood is
added. Open the door slightly and allow the negative pressure
to level out prior to opening the door completely.
• Add the wood and make sure that the air vent is fully open
for a few minutes until the wood has caught fire.
• Close the air vent once the wood has properly ignited and is
burning well.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace must never be used in
a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air so
that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney,
seek professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5
Chimney» for information.
5.7 Transition from winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under difficult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less firewood and have a larger opening in
the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In this
was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often than
usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».
