Very Important: The stove door should never be opened when the stove is
being fired vigorously.
Warning: The firebox and ashpit cover shall be kept closed except during
ignition, refueling and removal of residue material.
We would strongly recommend that you do not leave your stove alit at night when burning
wood. It harms the environment, and constitutes very poor use of the wood, as the gases in
the wood do not ignite at the low temperature, but settle as soot (unburned gases) in the
chimney and stove. Extreme conditions, such as poor draught in the chimney, large
quantities of wood or wet wood, may, in the worst-case scenario, cause an explosive
ignition.
When firing in the summer period, when there is minimal need for heat, the combustion
will be poor. The stove provides too much heat, so the combustion should be reduced. But
