User Instructions
Before Using the Wood-Burning Stove
It is important that you ensure the following:
• That all of the wood-burning stove’s individual components are in place.
• That the chimney has been approved by your local chimney sweep.
• That fresh air can be supplied to the room in which the wood-burning stove is to be installed.
Some Things Worth Knowing about Fuels
Permitted Fuel Types
The wood-burning stove is only EN-approved for ring with wood. Using dry wood with a maxi-
mum water content of 18% is recommended. Firing with wet wood results in soot, environmen-
tal strain and poor fuel efciency. It is recommended to purchase a hygrometer to continuously
check that the rewood has the correct moisture content before using it for ring.
Recommended Wood Types
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, coniferous and fruit trees can be used
as fuel in your wood-burning stove. The big difference is found not in the heat value, but in the
wood’s weight per cubic meter. As beech weighs more per cubic meter of wood than common
spruce (e.g.), more common spruce must be added to provide the same amount of warmth the
beech provides.
Prohibited Fuel Types
Firing with the following is prohibited: Printed matter • Plastic • Rubber • Chipboards • Liquid
fuels • Waste, such as milk cartons and the like • Lacquered, painted or impregnated wood
• Fossil fuels.
The reason why you cannot re with the abovementioned is that, during combustion, unhe-
althy and environmentally damaging substances are created. These substances can also da-
mage your wood-burning stove, which will result in the guarantee being voided.
Firing with Coal or Coke
The WIKING Miro is not approved for ring with coal and coke.
Storing Wood
Water content of maximum 18% is achieved by storing the wood for at least one year - prefe-
rably two years - outdoors, beneath a shed roof. Wood that is stored indoors tends to become
too dry and burn too quickly; though kindling is best when stored indoors a couple of days
before being used.
