If you overload the wood burning stove and burn more than the recommended
amount of wood per hour (see section 1.3), there is a risk that the surface of the
stove will become discoloured and eventually fall off. The stove can be
resurfaced.
3.4 The first time a fire is lit
The wood burning stove is packed in recycling packaging. The wood from the packaging can be sawed into
smaller pieces and used the first few times a fire is lit. The plastic packaging must be disposed according to
national rules regarding disposal of waste.
The first few times the wood burning stove is used, there may be some smoke and unpleasant odours from
the wood burning stove, which is fairly normal. This is caused by the heat-resistant paint hardening. Make
sure there is sufficient ventilation during this stage. It is also important not to let the fire burn too fiercely the
first 2-3 times, so that the wood burning stove has time to expand slowly.
You should also be aware that the stove may make some clicking sounds as it heats up and cools down –
like pouring boiling water into a sink. These are caused by the great differences in temperature to which the
materials are being exposed.
During the first firing, which should be carried out using approximately 1 kg
of wood, the door must be left slightly open and must not be closed until the
stove is cold. This is to prevent the gaskets from sticking to the stove.
3.5 Lighting a fire in the wood burning stove
How you light a fire is very important for a quick and efficient ignition phase. Follow these instructions when
lighting the stove:
1. Open the primary damper at the bottom of the door and the secondary damper at the top of the door.
2. Place a log of wood crosswise in the combustion chamber and put 2 firelighters close to the log.
Light the firelighters and quickly put a new log close to the firelighters and several small logs at an
angle above it. Air must be able to reach the firelighters, but the logs should be touching to "warm"
each other.
3. Keep the door approx. 1 cm ajar, until the glass is too hot to touch. Then close the door. When there
are distinct, visible flames and the fire has taken hold, close the primary damper.
The control handles will get warm when the wood burning stove is in use.
Please use the glove provided when you operate the wood burning stove.
3.6 Recommended fuels
We recommend the use of split hardwood that has been stored outdoors under cover for at least 1 year.
Wood that has been stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and will burn too quickly. We
recommend that you fell the wood during the winter when a lot of the moisture in the wood will have been
drawn down into the roots. In order to achieve optimum combustion, the wood's moisture level should not
