Special lighting guide for wood-burning stoves with stone cladding
Stones are a natural product that must be allowed to adapt to fluctuations in temperature. We
recommend following the procedure below:
1. First stoking
Turn the air control knob (drawing E, ) clockwise to maximum. Place two
pieces of wood (- cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the com
-
bustion compartment (corresponding to - kg). Place - pieces of kindling
randomly on top. Place two firelighters between the top layer of kindling.
Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on
the glass, keep the door ajar for a little while and close again. When the fire has gone out, open
the door and leave it open while the stove cools to room temperature.
2. Second stoking
Turn the air control knob (drawing E, ) clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood (-
cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to -
kg). Place - pieces of kindling randomly on top. Place two firelighters between the top layer of
kindling. Light up the fire-lighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass,
keep the door ajar for a little while and close again. When there are no more visible yellow flames,
and a right ember is there, you can fire again. The layer of embers is suitable when the pieces
of wood begin to disintegrate and the bottom of the stove is covered by embers.Carefully open
the door to prevent smoke and embers from escaping. Put at least two pieces of wood into the
stove, weighing up to  kg each. When all of the wood has caught fire, turn the air control knob
() to middle position. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to room temperature before
stoking again.
3. Third stoking
Repeat the procedure for the second stoking. Allow the fire to burn and let the stove cool to room
temperature after the fire has gone out.
Restoking:
Follow the general instructions, see the sections “Lighting the stove” and “Stoking”.
Lighting the stove (drawing E)
A successful combustion process requires that the wood is lit in the right way. A cold stove and a
cold chimney challenge the combustion process. Be careful to make a good lighting with suitably
dry wood, using kindling and lighting the fire in the top layers of kindling. It is important to achieve
a high flue gas temperature quickly.
Turn the air control knob () clockwise to maximum. Place two pieces of wood
(- cm in diameter) horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compart-
ment (corresponding to - kg). Place - pieces of kindling randomly on
top. Place two firelighters between the top layer of kindling. Light up the
fire-lighters and close the stove door. If condensation forms on the glass,
keep the door ajar for a little while and close again.
When the kindling is burning well, turn the air control knob () to middle position. If the fire goes
out when the air control knob is turned, return it to maximum position again until the fuel catches
fire and then turn it to middle position again. Allow the kindling to burn up completely until there
are no longer any visible flames. The stove can then be stoked again.
Important! The ash pit must not be opened when lighting up. It must always be closed when the
stove is in use. Otherwise the HWAM
®
Autopilot™ does not function. The door should only be
opened when lighting up, when restoking, and when cleaning the stove. Never leave a stove
before there are lasting flames in the wood after firing!
