Controlling the Combustion
Primary air control (1) is located behind the glass. The automatic air control function is set to maximum
when the adjustment bar is set to the right-most position, and minimum when the bar is set to the left-
most position.
Primary air control
Starting the Stove
• Do not elevate the fi re on a grate. Build fi re directly on the hearth inside the stove.
• Push the primary air control all the way to the right to set the automatic control to maximum effect.
• Put split kindling, corresponding to two to three pieces of wood (about 4 lbs/2 kg), into the
stove.
• Put two fi re lighters in between the kindling. Light them and allow the fl ames to spread slowly.
Keep the door ajar until no more condensation forms on the glass (for a maximum of 5 min.).
Close the door.
• When the kindling is burning well, push the primary air control into middle position. If the fi re goes
out, this has been done too early. Push the primary air control to the right again until the fi re is
burning properly. Allow the kindling to burn until fl ames are no longer visible.
Important! The door should be opened only when lighting the stove, adding fuel to the fi re or removing
ash.
Refueling the Stove
When there are no more visible yellow fl ames, and a bed of embers has been created, you can fi re
again. The layer of embers is suitable when the pieces of wood begin to disintegrate and the bottom of
the stove is covered by embers. Put two or three pieces of wood weighing up to 2 lbs/1 kg each into the
stove. The automatic control manages the regulation of the air supply.
