wood types per cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common
spruce, it will take more common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get
from a cubic metre of beech.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, fluid fuels,
and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood. The reason that you should
not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health hazardous
and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove and
chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
A water content of a maximum of 20% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year,
preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become
too dry and combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a fire
indoors for a few days prior to use.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as fol-
lows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped) 25-33 2-5
Chopped wood 25-33 7-9
Opening and closing the door
Always hold the handle in the middle when opening and closing the door to avoid putting uneven
pressure on the door lift mechanism.
Please note that it is important not to let go of the handle when opening and closing the door. The
glass could be damaged if the door is allowed to open or close on its own.
Regulating the stove, drawing E
Regulating the primary air (rises through the grate in the stove). Turn the regulator knob (1) counter-
clockwise for minimum air and clockwise for maximum air.
Firing, drawing E
Turn the regulator knob (1) clockwise to the maximum setting (max. primary air).
Put an amount of split kindling wood corresponding to approx. 2-3 logs (approx. 2 kg) into the stove.
Put 2 firelighters between the uppermost layers of kindling wood. Light up and allow the fire to
gradually spread.
During firing, condensation may form on the inside of the glass. To remedy this, lift the door approx.
5 cm and keep it in this position until the glass is clear again (for approx. 30 sec.).
When all the kindling wood has caught fire, turn the regulator knob (1) to the middle setting.
If the fire is quenched by the regulation, reset the regulator knob to the maximum setting until the
fire has caught on better. Return the regulator knob to the middle setting.
