FUEL
The appliance has been recommended as suitable for use in smoke control areas when
burning clean wood logs as stated hereunder. All suitable fuels listed hereunder can be
used outside smoke control areas.
6.1
WOOD
Suitable fuels are:
• All sorts of clean wood (forested). The wood must have been dried for at least two
years. Well-dried wood has a humidity percentage between 10 and 20%.
Recommended dimensions: • length : c. 30 cm
• outline : c. 25 cm
• Wood briquettes without binder (see wood dimensions).
• Hard woods burn slowly and easily form charcoal; for example hornbeam, oak,
ash, beech, elm and birch.
Softwood burns with more fl ame, but forms less charcoal and radiates less heat.
Examples are spruce, pine, poplar and linden.
If the appliance is equipped with a multi-fuel kit, it is also allowed to use coal or bri-
quetted smokeless fuels
Unsuitable fuels are:
• Painted, bonded (chipboard, MDF etc.) or impregnated wood, plastic and other
fl ammable waste. Stoking an appliance with this is completely forbidden. The
combustion gases released by these materials are aggressive and will attack your
appliance and the environment.
• Paraffi n-containing open appliance lighters are not suitable for a closed appliance.
A closed appliance generates more heat than an open appliance, thus the paraffi n
will melt out of the blocks prematurely.
• Damp wood burns poorly, is unsuitable and produces too much smoke (including
in the room when you are topping up the wood), dirties the glass, leaves deposits
in the chimney and delivers about half the heat output of dried wood.
Do not burn coal *), liquid fuels or burning gel in the appliance. The appliance is not
designed for this. Use is dangerous and can lead to health damage and serious
damage to the appliance.
*) To burn coal or briquetted smokeless fuels the appliance must be equipped with a
multi-fuel kit.
