Insufcient ring
If the reproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a re, then the stove is polluting,
and the automatic air ow regulation system is malfunctioning. Therefore, more air must be supplied by
turning the regulator clockwise (to the right). It may also be necessary to burn more wood.
How to achieve the best combustion
• Use clean and dry wood.
Wet wood results in inefcient combustion, plenty of smoke, and soot. Furthermore, the heat will dry
the wood, not heat up the room.
• The re should only be stoked with a little wood at a time.
You achieve the best combustion by starting up a re often and using only a little wood. If you use
too much rewood, it will take some time before the temperature reaches a level where you achieve
a good combustion.
• Make sure there is the right amount of air.
You should also make sure that there is plenty of air – especially in the beginning - so the temperature
in the wood burning stove climbs quickly. In this way the gasses and particles released during the
combustion will be consumed by the re. Otherwise they build up soot in the chimney (constituting
a chimney re risk) or will be released in a non-combusted state into the environment. The wrong
amount of air supply creates inefcient combustion and a modest effect.
• Don’t savour the re during night time.
We advise against adding re wood to your stove and reducing the air supply at night in an attempt
to still have some embers left in the morning. If you do so, large amounts of hazardous smoke will be
emitted, and your chimney will be exposed to unnecessarily large amounts of soot with the risk of a
chimney re.
Cleaning the glass
We recommend wiping the glass after a re. This is best done using a paper towel.
Types of fuel
The stove may be damaged by very high temperatures and the glass may turn white, for example. This
can be avoided by never allowing the stove to burn with the door open and taking great care with types
of fuel that develop excessive heat, such as briquettes.
We recommend using birch or beechwood, which has been split and stored for at least one year outdoors
under cover. Wood stored indoors tends to become too dry and burn too quickly.
Briquettes give off a lot of heat. Certain types expand considerably, thus causing an uncontrollable combustion.
The stove is EN 13240 approved for ring wood only. No particle board, lacquered, painted
or treated wood, plastics, or rubber may be burned.

Cleaning
Any maintenance of the stove should only be carried out when it is cold. Daily maintenance is limited to
vacuum cleaning the stove externally, using the soft brush attachment. You can also dust the stove using a
dry, soft cloth or brush. But remember, only when the stove is cold. Do not use water, spirit or any other
kind of cleaner, as this will damage the lacquer.
Once a year, the stove should be thoroughly serviced. The combustion chamber should be cleared of ashes
and soot. The hinges and the closing hook must be greased with liquid copper fat spray (heat-resistant up
to 1100°C), see drawing I. Lift the door approx. ½ cm and spray copper fat onto the hinge leaf.
