CARE & FIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The Christineberg has been tested by the Swedish National Testing and Research Institute. 

The test results show a 

very pure combustion and a useful efficiency of not less than 86%.

Both the useful efficiency and the environmental results make the Christineberg directly comparable with the best 

optimised heating boilers on the market.

For the Christineberg to work optimally and to give you the maximum return, it is of the greatest importance that you 

follow the care and firing instructions below. 

Non-compliance will invalidate the warranty.

 FIRING

It is important to fire with the right amount of wood in the 

tile stove; otherwise, there is a risk of overheating resulting 

in damage to the stove and chimney. The wood amounts 

stated below are for firing with hardwood.

At maximum firing for longer periods of time the stove's 

service  life  is  reduced  and,  if  the  maximum  permitted 

amount of wood is exceeded, the tile stove and the chim

-

ney may be damaged.

Suitable firewood size and quantity for the Christineberg 

are, as follows:

 Kindling

  Length   

 

approx. 30 cm

  Diameter  

 

2 - 5 cm

  Amount   

 

approx. 1.7 kg

  Split logs

  Length   

 

approx. 30 cm

  Diameter  

 

6 - 10 cm

  Amount   

  approx. 1.7 kg per load

  Maximum amount 

 

2.5 kg per hour

To see how much space 1.7 kg of kindling and 1.7 kg of 

split logs occupy, it is a good idea to weigh the wood be

-

fore the first couple of firings. This will gradually become 

routine, and weighing will become unnecessary.

However, pay attention if the wood suddenly feels abnor

-

mally heavy. This may be caused by too high a moisture 

content, which will necessitate additional drying.

 FUEL

The  Christineberg  must  to  be  fired  with  wood.  Most 

types of firewood can be used. The most suitable ones 

are birch, beech, ash, and elm, but conifers and oak can 

also be used if they are mixed 50/50 with another type 

of hardwood. Oak contains acids, which may affect the 

materials in the stove during combustion.

Coal and briquettes are unsuitable fuels. They develop 

high temperatures, which may damage the hearth.

The firewood must be dry, i.e. with a maximum moisture 

content of 15 to 20%. If the firewood is moist, an unnec

-

essary amount of energy is used to dry it before it starts 

burning  normally.  Moreover,  this  forms  large  amounts 

of soot and tar, which are deposited on the walls of the 

hearth and chimney, which in turn significantly increases 

the risk of a chimney fire.

Moist  firewood  also  results  in  poor  combustion,  which 

leads to greater smoke generation with sooty glass and 

deterioration of the local environment as a consequence.

To be certain that you will have dry wood when the heating 

season begins, the wood should be cut in the winter. The 

wood is then stored in a ventilated place under a roof and 

left to dry during the spring and summer. Before using 

the wood, you should keep it indoors for a couple of days 

so there is time for the surface moisture to evaporate.

WARNING! 

It is absolutely forbidden to fire the stove with 

painted, glued (e.g. chipboard or hardboard), or pressure-

impregnated wood.

It is also forbidden to burn plastic and other waste in the 

tile stove. The combustion of such fuels and substances 

releases acids and heavy metals, which are very harmful 

to the environment.
