randomly on top. Place two firelighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close 
the stove door.  If condensation forms on the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close again. 
When the kindling is burning well, turn the regulator (1) to middle position. If the fire goes out when 
the regulator is turned, return it to maximum position again until the fuel catches fire and then turn it 
to middle position again. Allow the kindling to burn up completely until there are no longer any visible 
flames. The stove can then be stoked again.

Important! 

The ash pan must not be opened during the lighting stage and must always be kept closed 

when the stove is lit or otherwise the automatic air regulation will not work. Only open the door when 
lighting the stove, refuelling it and cleaning it.

Stoking (drawing E)

When no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be 
stoked again. There is a suitable layer of embers when the bottom of the stove is covered completely 
and the embers are glowing in a circle around the shaking grate. Put at least two pieces of wood into the 
stove, weighing up to 1 kg each. Do not regulate the stove again as the Autopilot system will do this, but 
the temperature can be adjusted with the regulator (1). Turning it to minimum (counter-clockwise) will 
reduce the rate of combustion and make the stove burn slower. Turning to maximum (clockwise) will 
increase the rate of combustion and make the stove burn faster. Wait until the layer of embers is suitably 
low before stoking again.

During combustion, the outer surfaces of the stove will become hot, and due care must 
therefore be shown. Please note that the handle on the pull-out drawer also gets very warm. 
Always remember to wear gloves when operating the drawer while the stove is in use.

Fuelling with coal, patent fuel or carbonised coal

The stove is not designed for fuelling with coal and carbonised coal. However, wood briquettes can be 
used to fuel the fire and should be placed on the embers produced by the burned wood. Turn the regula-
tor to its full clockwise position until the briquettes fully ignite.
Remember that the regulator must then be turned to the left again.

Be aware that using fuels other than wood, will cause soot to form on the glass pane.

general

Rapid or fierce heat

Rapid or fierce heat is obtained by burning many small pieces of wood.

Maximum amounts of fuel:

The maximum allowed amount of fuel per hour is: 
Wood: 2.0 kg
If this limit is exceeded, the stove will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee, and it may also 
become damaged due to excessive heat. The stove has been approved for intermittent use.

Typical re-firing interval

Typical re-firing interval at nominal performance
Wood: 65 min

Long burning times

For the slowest possible combustion, turn the regulator counter-clockwise (to the left). By turning the 
regulator all the way to the left, the stove receives no primary air (the air that comes through the grate).
