OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

Please note that HETAS Appliance Approval only covers the use of dry seasoned wood 
logs on this appliance. HETAS Approval does not cover the use of other fuels either 
alone or mixed with the wood logs, nor does it cover instructions for the use of other 
fuels.

 

Fuel

 

The stove is designed and approved in accordance with EN 13240 and NS 3058 for 
burning split, dried firewood. The firewood must have a water content of 15­22% and its 
max. length should be the length of the combustion chamber minus 50­60 mm. 

Stoking with wet firewood causes both soot, environmental pollution and bad fuel 
economy. Freshly cut wood contains approx. 50­70% water and is thoroughly unsuitable 
for stoking. Allow at least 1 year of storage time for newly cut wood before using. Wood 
with a diameter of more than 100 mm should be split. Regardless of wood size, it should 
always have at least one surface area free of bark. 

We do not recommend stoking with painted, laminated or impregnated wood, wood with 
a synthetic surface, painted refuse wood, chipboard, plywood, domestic waste, paper 
bri­quettes and pit coal, as this will produce malodorous smoke, which could be 
poisonous. 
When firing with the above­mentioned items and amounts larger than those 
recommended, the stove is subjected to a larger amount of heat, which results in a 
higher chimney temperature and lower efficiency. This can result in the stove and 
chimney becoming damaged and would void the warranty. 

The calorific value of the firewood is closely connected to the moisture level. 
Moist firewood has a low heat value. The more water the wood contains, the more 
energy it takes for this water to vaporise, resulting in this energy being lost.
