4.4 Discolouration of walls and ceilings

A brown discolouration is annoying and it is a problem that is difficult to solve. Brown discolouration can be caused
by the combustion of dust as a result of the materials used, too little ventilation, smoking, the burning of candles,
oil lights, etc. Smoke from cigarettes and cigars contains tar substances that can be deposited on colder and/or
moist walls.

5.2 Lighting

Observe the following steps for lighting and burning your fire:
Ø
If necessary, remove a part of the ash with the supplied ash scoop (see section 3.4).
Ø
If necessary, clean the glass pane (see section 6.6).
Ø
If applicable, open the flue valve.
Ø
Fully open the air supply using the air supply slide (with indication closed/open, see Appendix 2, Fig. 3);
Ø
Place 2 small wood blocks in the combustion chamber, lengthwise (see Appendix 2, Fig. 4);
Ø
Stack kindlings crosswise on the 2 wood blocks and place a firelighter on top of it (see Appendix 2, Fig. 5).
Instead of firelighters you can also use a ball of paper.
Ø
Make sure that sufficient air is able to flow through the stack of wood, so that the wood will easily ignite.
Ø
If necessary, place a ball of paper on the stack to get some draught in the flue duct immediately.
Ø
Light the firelighter and, if applicable, the ball of paper.
Ø
Close the fire door, it may be left open a little bit, if necessary, until the kindlings have caught fire.
This is only allowed if no outside air connection is used.
Ø
Allow the fire to burn through properly in order to heat up the flue duct. In this way, a good draught is created.
Instead of firelighters you can also use a ball of newspapers.

UK
These problems can be (partly) prevented by installing a good ventilation in the room where the fire is
installed.
Use as little candles and oil lights as possible and keep the taper as short as possible. Burning candles, oil
lights, cigarettes, cigars, etc. creates a considerable amount of contaminating soot and tar particles in your
house.
have your flue duct checked by a recognized specialist for blockage and contamination if you have not burned
the fire for some time;
use the right fuel only (see section 3.1);
observe the maximum amount of wood blocks as stated in Appendix 1, Tabel 2;
make sure that sufficient fresh air is supplied (see section 3.2);
in case of a fire in the chimney, close the air supply, extinguish the wood fire with sand and call the fire
brigade;
never extinguish the wood fire with water;
do not clean the fire with a vacuum cleaner (see section 3.4).
preferably, do not burn the fire during misty and/or windless weather in order to prevent (smoke) nuisance;
burn a fire with the door closed. It is only opened to fill additional wood;
a properly heated flue duct is necessary for the draught in the duct;
a high combustion temperature will keep the flue duct clean;
air controls must be used exactly in accordance with the instructions. Failure to do so can cause excessive
smoke emission
do not place a wood block diagonal in front of the air supply;
do not start with large wood blocks, build up the fire calmly;
use the air supply slide to control the fire.
