inside the chimney, it is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to
quickly get some flames going. Split the wood into extra fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe is not blocked.
It is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first check the
applicable rules.
Even a good chimney can function badly if it is not used correctly. Similarly, a bad chimney may function
well if used correctly.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct and the smoke
chamber above the baffle plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If the chimney is too tall to
be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire, close all dampers and call the firefighters. Before any further use, have the
chimney checked by the chimney sweeper.
FIrIng manual - wood
The lacquer will be fully hardened after the stove has been used, and the door and the ashpan should be
opened very carefully as there will otherwise be a risk that the gaskets will stick to the lacquer. In addition
the lacquer may initially give off an unpleasant odour, so make sure that the room is well ventilated. The
operating handles are located behind the extension beneath the door.
Tips about fuel
Approved fuel types
The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried
chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 18%. Stoking a fire with wet wood results in soot,
environmental problems, and a less efficient fuel economy. It is recommended to purchase a hygrometer
to continuously check that the firewood has the correct moisture content before using it for firing.
Recommended wood types
All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel
in your wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the wood
types per cubic metre. Since beech weighs more per cubic metre than for instance common spruce, it
will take more common spruce to produce the same amount of heat that you would get from a cubic
metre of beech.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, fluid fuels,
and rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood or fossil fuels. The reason that
you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health
hazardous and harmful to the environment. These substances could also damage your wood burning stove
and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
A water content of a maximum of 18% is achieved by storing the wood for a minimum of one year,
preferably two years, outdoors under a lean-to. Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too
dry and combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting a fire indoors
for a few days prior to use.
