General use
Opening and closing of the firedoor
The door lock is located on the right side of the fire door. Use the lever provided, click it into the door
lock and pull the handle towards you to open the door. Push the handle away from you to close the
door.
OLYMPIA stoves can only be used when the fire door is closed. Once in operation ,the fire door
may only be opened briefly to charge wood.
The heating temperature can be high. Always use the supplied cold handle and heat-
resistant glove to operate the air slide and door.
Operating the air control
The supply of air for combustion will be controlled on the front of the unit. It also controls the
combustion rate. The more to the left, the less combustion air
Lighting
1. If a throttle damper fits into the flue gas outlet, please open it.
2. Ensure maximum air supply when lighting the stove.
3. Open the fire door and place a layer of small kindling wood on the ground grid.
4. Place 2 to 3 firelighting bricks between them, nicely spread out, at the front and at the back.
5. Then place the necessary amount of thin firewood on top.
6. Light the firelighters.
7. Put the door at a gap position
8. After firing, the fire door is firmly closed.
IMPORTANT
: Do not open the door of the fire, except for refilling.
If, 15 minutes after ignition, there is still kickback of smoke gases due to poor atmospheric conditions
(e.g. windless or foggy weather), the ignition should be stopped until there is an improvement in the
weather.
Sometimes smoke kickback has another cause than poor ventilation. Maybe the wood species
causes strong smoke formation. The duct then cannot process the amount of flue gases. Or perhaps
you are firing the right wood, but there is a narrowing of the pipe or the flue. If you are unsure about
the cause, please do not hesitate to contact your dealer.
