CONTINUOUS OPERATION

It is important to obtain as high a temperature as possible in the combustion chamber. This results in best possible use of the

stove and fuel, as well as achieving clean combustion. In this way you will avoid build-up of soot on the combustion chamber

lining and glass pane. During operation, you should not see any smoke; just a movement in the air that indicates combustion is in

progress.

¬ After completing the lighting phase, you should have a good layer of embers in the stove; you can then start operation of it

properly

¬ Add two pieces of wood at a time: they should be about 0,4-0,6 kg in weight and about 20 cm long

NOTE: The wood must catch ﬁre quickly. This is why we recommend setting the primary air ﬂow fully open.

NOTE: Operating the stove at too low a temperature and with too little primary air can lead to gases igniting, which can damage

the stove.

¬ When adding wood, always open the glass door carefully to prevent smoke escaping

¬ Never add wood, while the fire is burning nicely

WARNING ABOUT OVER-FIRING

If the stove is continiously ﬁred with larger amounts of wood than recommended and/or receives too much air, this can cause a

heavy heat development liable to damage both stove and the surrounding walls. We therefore recommend that you always ob-

serve the max. recommended amount of fuel (See under ”Technical Data”).

USING YOUR STOVE IN VARIOUS WEATHER CONDITIONS

The way the wind affects the chimney can have a big impact on how your stove reacts under various wind loads; you may need to

adjust the airﬂow to achieve good combustion. Fitting a damper in the ﬂue pipe may also help, as it will allow you to regulate the

draught under changing wind loads. The damper must not close more than 80% of the surface.

Fog and mist can also have a big impact on chimney draught; you may need to use other settings for the combustion air to

achieve good combustion.

FIRING IN THE SPRING OR AUTUMN

In the spring/autumn transition period, where there is less need for heating, we recommend you light the stove “top down” once,

perhaps adding just two pieces of wood as above to ensure that the combustion chamber lining burns clean again.

THE FUNCTION OF THE CHIMNEY

The chimney is the wood-burning stove’s motor; its performance determines how well your stove will work. The draught in the

chimney creates negative pressure in the wood-burning stove. The negative pressure draws the smoke out of the stove and takes

in air through the combustion air damper to fuel the combustion process. Combustion air is also used for the air wash system

that keeps the window clear of soot.

The draught in the chimney is created by the difference in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher temperature

difference, the better draught. This is why it is important that the chimney reaches operating temperature before you reduce the

damper settings to restrict combustion in the stove (a brickwork chimney will take longer to reach operating temperature than a

steel chimney). It is very important that the operating temperature is reached as quickly as possible on days when the draught in

the chimney is poor due to unfavorable wind and weather conditions. You need to get a few ﬂames going as quickly as possible.

Chop the wood extra thin; use an extra ﬁre lighter etc.

¬ After longer periods without use, you must check the chimney ﬂue for blockages

¬ You can connect several units to the same chimney. You should however ﬁrst check the relevant regulations in this respect

CHIMNEY FIRE

In the event of a chimney ﬁre, keep the stove door, the ash container, and all dampers on the stove closed. In an emergency, call

the ﬁre service.

¬ We recommend that you get a chimney sweep to check the chimney before using the stove again.
