11. When the wood has been completely burnt and only embers are
remaining from the initial wood added to the
fire, new wood can now be added as required (hardwood is ideal).
12. Depending on the weather conditions, adjust the control lever towards
the middle setting or a little over.
The correct setting is always based on experience and the current local
conditions.
13. Always open the firebox door slowly. This will ensure that you avoid
sudden low pressure in the firebox and prevent exhaust gases leaking into
the living room.
14. This will prevent any possible smoke leakage through the opened door
when adding new wood during the ember phase.
15. Never consistently add more wood than the recommended amount.
Caution: The height of the wood pile must not exceed the lower marking on
the deflector plate!
6.3 LIGHTING A FIRE
Lighting the fire in your fireplace cassette is very easy if you follow the
instructions given below:
1. A fire may only be started in the fireplace cassette when the firebox
lining has been correctly installed.
2. Turn off any air extraction ventilation (kitchen, bathroom, WC etc.). This
will avoid low pressure building up in the installation room that can
affect the extraction of flue gasses from the fireplace. Check the combus-
tion air supply (if required, open the cover flap)!
3. Adjust the combustion air regulator to the far right, and open the firebox
door (swing open).
4. Place chopped wood into the middle of the firebox using the funeral
pyre method (use softwood).
Caution: The height of the wood pile must not exceed the lower marking on
the deflector plate!
5. Place standard firelighter cubes under
the wood pyre to help start the fire. (paper is not recommended because it
burns too quickly and causes ash to circulate).
6. Never use methylated spirits, petrol, oil or other easily combustible
liquids.
7. Light the fire using the firelighter cubes and, if required, leave the
firebox door open by approx. 3-5 cm. The fire should now light, burning
brightly and intensively.
8. When the kindling wood is burning well, add smaller hardwood logs or
larger softwood logs using the funeral pyre method and close the door.
9. When the wooden logs are burning well, the air control lever can be set
to a position in the middle.
10. You can find out more about the correct volume of wood to add to the
fire in the section ‘‘Volume of wood to add per hour’’.
