Procedure:
1. Fully open the replace insert door (swing open or
push upward)
2. Start by stacking the logs cross-wise on the remaining
ash in the grid area. Place larger logs at the bottom,
gradually reducing the log size moving up (-7.4.1-).
Narrow replace inserts are stacked with logs facing to
the front, depending on split log length and re chamber
dimensions. Wide replace inserts are stacked with
the long side facing to the front. Observe wood loading
quantities in replace insert instruction manual.
3. Fully open combustion air intake(-7.4.2-). Using the
"cold hand", turn the adjustment lever to lighting
position, fully to the right (+).
4. The top layer is comprised of suitably small kindling,
for which softwood (e.g. r) is recommended (-7.4.3-).
Two to three lighting aids (e.g. wax-soaked wood
shavings) are placed between the kindling.
5. Use a match to light the two to three lighting aids.
The quantity of kindling is selected such as to achieve
high temperatures as quickly as possible – to quickly
create a draft in the chimney (-7.4.4-).
6. Now close the door. Depending on the negative
pressure in the chimney, it may be useful to leave the
replace insert door about 3 cm ajar to allow the re
to light properly (-7.4.5-).
Close the replace insert door after 3 to 5 minutes.
7. The kindling now ignites quickly and the upper, thinner
split logs will start burning with a bright ame. The
replace insert door must now be closed completely
(-7.4.6-).
8. The combustion air must be throttled as soon as the
thin upper logs are fully burned and the re spreads
to the next layer (-7.4.7-).
Turn the adjustment lever to approx. center position
(primary air closed). Should the ames become a lot
weaker, open the air supply a little again (adjustment
lever to the right (+)).
Or close some more (lever to the left (-)) if the re burns
too high.
It may make sense at this stage to regulate the amount
of air several times. You will soon discover suitable
settings as you become familiar with the behaviour of
your replace insert.
9. The air supply may be further reduced when the re
has spread to the bottom layer of split logs (-7.4.8-).
10. The fuel burns down to a pile of embers (-7.4.9 10-).
11. Replenish the fire can now whilst the remaining
embers are still burning (-7.4.11-).
The combustion air supply must immediately be opened
again fully after replenishment, to rapidly ignite the
new wood. This immediately raises the re chamber
temperature to suitable levels again for complete and
environmentally friendly combustion.
