3 If the room temperature begins to
get too warm, close the air valve a
little further to make the
fi
re burn
more gently. Gentler burning can also
be achieved by using larger pieces of
wood or bundling smaller pieces. If
the stove interior remains black and
does not burn clean, then wood is not
burning correctly. A higher temperature
needs to be achieved by burning more
and/or smaller pieces of wood and/or
opening the air inlet still further.
Functioning at higher outdoor temperatures
At higher outdoor temperature the pull of the chimney may be affected, which in turn will
cause smoke to escape from the stove. This can be prevented by burning the stove with a
larger
fl
ame. A larger
fl
ame with the same heat production can be achieved by
fi
lling the
stove more often with a smaller quantity of wood and by burning the wood whilst the air
valve is opened further. The
fi
re should then also be stoked more often, particularly if it
consists of a large quantity of glowing ash.
4 Once the
fi
re has gone out completely
and no embers are visible in the stove,
close the air valve completely. The
stove will then continue to give off heat
for a longer period. When starting a
new heating cycle, reopen the air valve.
