Instructions for use

Fuel

The only suitable fuels for this stove are wood, brown coal briquettes and charcoal. No other

fuels are allowed to be burnt, as they can inict serious damage to your stove.

Do not burn any treated wood either, such as scrap wood, dyed wood, impregnated or pre

served wood, plywood or chipboard. The fumes of these, as of synthetic materials, old papers

and household waste, are highly polluting for both your stove and your chimney, and for the

environment. They also could cause chimney res.

Wood

Hard woods, such as oak, birch- and fruit-trees, are the ideal fuels for your stove.

The wood must have dried for at least two years in a covered and well-ventilated place. Split

logs will dry faster. Dry wood should contain no more than twenty percent moisture.

Wet logs are unsuitable for burning, as they do not produce enough heat and all of the energy

is lost in the process of evaporation. Moreover, the burning of wet wood causes badly smel

ling gases to be released and a thick layer of tar will deposit on the stove panels and in the

chimney.

Brown coal briquettes

Brown coal briquettes burn in more or less the same way as wood does. You should only burn

briquettes on a bed of charcoal in your stove.

Charcoal

There are several categories of anthracite coal. Some characteristics may be legally deter-

mined. For instance anthracite “A” has to contain less than 10% of volatile substances, anthra

cite “B” less than 12%. The ash content may range from 3 to 13%.

For a good operation of your appliance, the use of anthracite “A” with a low ash content is re

commended. A combustible with a high ash content has a lower net heating value. Moreover,

the ashes have to be removed more frequently and the re will go out faster. The recommen-

ded calibre is 12/22 or 20/30.

Air supply adjustment

For the supply of combustion air, the stove is equipped with two vents which are adjustable

by means of two levers at the bottom of the front panel of the stove (see picture). Through

special air ducts, primary air (1) is led to the bottom of the combustion chamber. Secondary

air (2) reaches the top of the glass panel.
