Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel type Length in cm Diameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped) 25-33 2-5
Chopped wood 25-33 7-9
Special fire lighting guide for stoves with soapstone or sandstone cladding
Soapstone and sandstone are natural products which need to adjust to temperature changes. We
recommend following the procedure below:
1. First stoking
Move the regulating rod (drawing E, 1) to top position. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter)
horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 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
Move the regulating rod (drawing E, 1) to top position. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter)
horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 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 no more yellow flames are visible and a suitable layer of embers has built up, the stove can be
stoked again. There is a suitable layer of embers when the bottom of the stove is covered completely.
Half fill the combustion chamber with dry wood with a diameter of about 7-9 cm. When all of the wood
has caught fire, move the regulating rod (1) 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, but put in more wood this time. 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. It is important to achieve a high flue gas temperature quickly.
Move the regulating rod (drawing E, 1) to top position. Place two pieces of wood (5-8 cm in diameter)
horizontally in the bottom of the combustion compartment (corresponding to 1-2 kg). Place 5-8 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, move the regulating rod (1) to middle position. If the fire goes out,
move the regulating rod to maximum position again (to the top) until the fuel catches fire. Then move
the regulating rod 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 door must always be kept closed when the stove is in use or the automatic air regulation
will not work. Only open the door when lighting the stove, refuelling it and cleaning it.
