Wood quality
By quality wood we mean most well-known types of wood such
as birch, spruce and pine.
The logs should be dried so that the moisture content is no more
than 20%.
To achieve this, the logs should be cut during the late winter. They
should be split and stacked in a way that ensures good ventilation.
The wood stacks should be covered to protect the logs from rain.
The logs should be brought indoors during early autumn and
stacked/stored for use in the coming winter.
Be especially careful never to use the following materials as fuel
in your fireplace:
• Household rubbish, plastic bags, etc.
• Painted or impregnated timber (which is extremely toxic).
• Laminated wooden planks.
• Driftwood
These may harm the product and are also pollutants.
NB: Never use petrol, paraffin, methylated spirit or similar liquids
to light the fire. You may cause serious injury to yourself and
damage to the product.
Wood consumption
Use of wood, with nominal heat emission: Approx. 1,6 kg/h.
Another important factor for proper fuel consumption is that
the logs are the correct size. The size of the logs should be:
Kindling:
Length: 23-33 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Amount per fire: 6 - 8 pieces
Daily use
Firewood (split logs):
Length: 23 - 33 cm
Diameter: Approx. 8 cm
Intervals for adding wood: Approximately every 45 minutes
Size of the fire: 1,2 kg
Amount per load: 2 pieces
Nominal heat emission is achieved when the air vent is open
approximately 57 %.
Maximum use
Maximum load: 2,9 kg/h (maximum 3 pieces/2,2 kg per load).
Ignition
Fig. 25
• Open the ignition vent and air vent by pulling the handle all
the way out. (Use a glove or something similar to protect your
hand in case the handles are hot.)
• Place two logs at the bottom of the burn chamber and pile
the kindling in layers.
• Finally, place a medium-sized log on the top of the pile.
• Place 2 or 3 briquettes or kindling sticks under the top layer
of kindling and light the fire.
Heating
Fig. 26
Leave the ignition-/air vent 24 mm (Fig. 26) open when the
•
wood has caught fire properly and is burning well.
• Close the door.
• You can then regulate the rate of combustion to give the heat
you want by adjusting the air vent.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts.
This is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames in front of
the holes under the baffle.
