Lighting the stove
1. Make sure the air vent is in the fully open position (move the
handle to the left as shown by the wide end of a triangle).
2. Add crumbled paper / firelighters and kindling wood to the
bottom of the fire box (combustion chamber).
3. The kindling (about 3 lbs or 1.5 kg) is to be built up
crosswise.
4. Light the fire.
5. The door should be ajar for a couple of minutes during the
lighting phase.
6. Once the flames have taken a good hold of the kindling, the door
can be shut.
7. The air vent should be adjusted down toward the right after
approx. 10 minutes (primary air); how much depends on the
chimney draft - however, the air supply must be diminished to
the point where you obtain steady and calm flames.
Once there is a good bed of embers in the stove, you
can add wood. It is important not to open the door
while there are flames in the stove, as this may cause
smoke to flow out into the room. Add wood on the basis
of your heating requirements. However, never add more
than 4.4 lbs or 2 kg of wood every 1.5–2 hours. Please
remember that the exterior surfaces especially the top
and front of the stove in particular will become very
hot during burning.
Refueling
1. Open the air vent to the maximum (to the left).
2. To minimize the back draft, the door should be ajar for about
one minute before you open it completely.
3. Open the door slowly.
4. Add 2 – 3 pieces of firewood to the combustion chamber.
5. Close the door.
6. Turn down the air supply (toward the right) when the fire has
caught the wood, to obtain steady and calm flames.
