2.1 Lighting and refuelling intervals
A lot of air is needed when rst lighting the stove. When starting with a totally cold stove, it may be
helpful to leave the doors ajar (2-3 cm) during the rst few minutes; the secondary air intake should be
fully open - handle underneath the ash lip. In cases of poor chimney draft, the initial lighting process
may be improved by adding more primary air (via the air control inlets on the doors). Please note;
excessive primary air may lead to temporary smoke discolouration on the inner re bricks and the
glass panels. Therefore, it is recommended that primary air only be added during the lighting process.
Wood fuel burns well when placed onto an ash bed on the grate of the stove. To achieve this
you should burn roughly 1-2 kg of dry kindling the rst time you light the stove. You should
build and maintain the ash bed to a thickness of approximately 1 cm.
1. A layer of embers will form rapidly if the stove is lit with
2 - 4 re lighters or 7 - 10 rolled up sheets of newspaper,
underneath roughly 1 kg of dry kindling.
2. Fully open the secondary air by sliding the control han-
dle to the left (controlled using the handle underneath the
ash lip)
3. After the paper/kindlings have caught re, leave the re
door ajar about 2-3 mm so that the chimney draws well.
4. After 5-10 minutes the chimney draft should be estab-
lished, at this point close the re doors. If all the necessary
conditions are met, a nice layer of embers will start to ac-
cumulate after another 15 - 20 minutes.
