and smell from the product.
• Repeatthisacoupleoftimes.
Note! Odors when using the stove for the
first time.
Painted products: The fireplace may emit an irritating gas when
used for the first time, and it may smell a little. The gas is not toxic,
but the room should be thoroughly ventilated. Let the fire burn
with a high draught until all traces of the gas have disappeared
and no smoke or smells can be detected.
Enamelled products: Condensation may form on the surface of
the fireplace the first few times it is used. This must be wiped off
to prevent permanent stains forming when the surface heats up.
5.5 Daily use
The product is intended for intermittent combustion. By
intermittent combustion one means normal use of a fireplace,
meaning that each fire should burn down to embers before new
firewood is added.

the handle can become hot.)

heating by adjusting the airvent (fig. 6A).
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 50%.
5.6 Adding firewood

to level out prior to opening the door completely.

and is burning well. Check that afterburning (secondary
combustion) starts.
N.B. Danger of overheating: the fireplace must never be used in
a manner that causes overheating.
Overheating occurs when there is too much wood and/or air so
that too much heat is developed. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
ventilation opening immediately.
Upon suspicion of excessive/poor draught in the chimney, seek
professional help. See also «2.0 Technical data» and «4.5 Chimney»
for information.
5.7 Using fireplace during the transition
from winter to spring
During a transitional period with sudden fluctuations in
temperature, negative smoke draught or under difficult wind
conditions, disturbances in the chimney draught may occur so
that the smoke gasses are not drawn out.
One should then use less firewood and have a larger opening in
the air vents so that the wood burns fresher and faster. In this
was the draught in the chimney will be maintained.
To avoid accumulated ash, it should be removed more often than
usual. See «6.2 Ash removal».
