Chimney
The chimney is the “engine” of the stove and it is crucial for the functioning of the woodburning stove.
The chimney draft provides a partial vacuum in the stove. This vacuum removes the smoke from the stove,
sucks air through the dampers for the so-called glass pane rinse which keeps the glass free of soot, and
sucks in air through both primary and secondary dampers for the combustion.
The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher
the temperature within the chimney, the greater the draft. It is crucial, therefore, that the chimney is warmed
up properly before closing the damper and limiting the combustion in the stove (a brick chimney takes
longer to warm up than a steel chimney). On days where the weather and wind conditions create insufcient
draught inside the chimney, it is even more important to warm up the chimney as quickly as possible. The
trick is to quickly get some ames going. Split the wood into extra ne pieces, use an extra relighter, 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 rst 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 res, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The ue duct and the smoke
chamber above the bafe 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 re, close all dampers and call the reghters. 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 re with wet wood results in soot,
environmental problems, and a less efcient fuel economy. It is recommended to purchase a hygrometer
to continuously check that the rewood has the correct moisture content before using it for ring.
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 re with the following: printed matter, plywood, plastic, rubber, uid 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.
