4.6 Use
• Open the air vent and the ignition vent by pulling it out all
the way (fig. 29 A & B). If necessary, keep the door slightly
open. (Use a glove, for example, as the handle can become hot.)
• Place two medium sized logs in/out on each side of the base.
N.B. In order to avoid sooting on the glass, it is important that
the log is not placed adjacent to the glass on the product.
• Crumple some newspaper (or birch bark) between these and
add some kindling wood in a criss-cross pattern on top and
light the newspaper. (Fig. 30)
• Gradually increase the size of the fire, but the wood should
not be stacked higher than the horizontal holes on the back
burn plate. See fig. 29 H.
• 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.
• NB: The maximum height of the pile of the wood should
be just below the horizontal holes. The holes must not be
covered.
Close the ignition vent (fig. 29 B) when the firewood has
•
ignited and the fire is burning well.
• Check that the afterburning (secondary combustion) starts. This
is best indicated by yellow, flickering flames under the baffle.
• Then regulate the rate of combustion to the desired level of
heating by adjusting the air vent (fig. 29 A).

Adding firewood

Stoke the stove frequently but only add small amounts of fuel at
a time. If the stove is filled too full, the heat created may cause
extreme stress in the chimney. Add fuel to the fire in moderation.
Avoid smouldering fires as this produces the most pollution.
The fire is best when it is burning well and the smoke from the
chimney is almost invisible.
4.7 Danger of overheating
The fireplace must never be used in a manner that
causes overheating
Overheating occurs when there is too much fuel and/or too much
air so that too much heat develops. A sure sign of overheating is
when parts of the fireplace glow red. If this happens, reduce the
air vent opening immediately.
Seek professional advice if you suspect that the chimney is not
drawing properly (too much/too little draught). For further
information, see «4.0 Installation» (Chimney and flue pipe).
