INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Heating value in wood

You have to use about 2.4 kg normal wood to 
replace  one  litre  of  heating  oil.  All  woods  have 
almost  the  same  heating  value  per  kg,  which 
is  about  5.27  kW/hour  for  absolute  dry  wood. 
Wood with a moistness of 18% has a efficiency 
of about 4.18 kW/hour per kg, and one litre hea-
ting oil contains about 10 kW/hour.

Chimney fires

In the event of a chimney fire – which often re-
sults  from  incorrect  operation  or  protracted  fi-
ring with moist wood – close the door and shut 
off the secondary/start-up air supply to smother 
the fire. Call the fire department.

Regulating the airflow

Secondary airflow is regulated using the opera-
ting handle below the glass door.
The  secondary  airflow  is  fully  open  when  the 
operating handle is in the right position, and fully 
closed when positioned to the left.

Start-up airflow

To  open  the  start-up  airflow  for  the  stove,  pull 
the handle on the start-up mechanism as far to 
the left-hand side of the stove (as seen from the 
front) as possible. See fig. 2. To close the start-

First firing

The  stove  paint  is  fully  cured  from  the  factory, 
but a minor unpleasant odour could still arise. 

Fuel

Your  new  stove  is  EN  approved  for  firing  with 
wood fuel. You must therefore only burn clean, dry 
wood in your stove. Never use your stove to burn 
drifwood, as this may contain a lot of salt which 
can  damage  both  the  stove  and  the  chimney. 
Similarly,  you  must  not  fire  your  stove  with  refu-
se, painted wood, pressure-impregnated wood 
or  chipboard,  as  these  materials  can  emit  poi-
sonous  fumes  and  smoke.  Correct  firing  using 
well seasoned wood provides optimal heat out-
put and maximum economy. At the same time, 
correct  firing  prevents  environmental  damage 
in the form of smoke and emmissions and also 
reduces  the  risk  of  chimney  fires.  If  the  wood 
is wet and inadequately seasoned, a large pro-
portion of the energy in the fuel will be used to 
vaporise  the  water,  and  this  will  all  disappear 
up the chimney. Thus it is important to use dry, 
well seasoned wood, i.e. wood with a moisture 
content of no more than 20%. This is achieved 
by  storing  the  wood  for  1–2  years  before  use. 
Pieces of firewood with a diameter of more than 
10 cm should be split before storing. The pieces 
of firewood should be of an appropriate length 
(approx. 25 cm) so that they can lie flat on the 
bed of embers. If you store your wood outdoors, 
it is best to cover it.

It is advised not to use very oil-containing 
woods like teak tree and mahogany, as this 
can cause damage to the glass.
