In case of a chimney fire, close the door and air
supplies on the stove / insert and call the Fire
Brigade. After a chimney fire the chimney must in
all cases be inspected by an authorized chimney
sweeper before you use the appliance again.
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors for
a few days before use so that moisture in the surface of
the wood can evaporate.
Burning
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the fire with air just after the
wood is added, so that the flames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
flames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable fire that very
quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely high
temperature (when burning with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never fill the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
Warning!
The Firebox shall to be always closed except during
ignition, refueling and ash removal.
Lighting a fire
Kindling wood
Finely chopped (diameter of 3-5cm)
Length: 25-30cm
Ca. amount pr lighting : 3 kg
Place the air vent control in ignition mode - maximum to
the right. Open the by-pass and smoke dampers pulling
the levers out.
Insert small, dry pieces of wood, ignite and ensure the
flames have taken proper hold of the wood. When the
flames are stable and the chimney is warm, pull the air
control out of the ignition mode turning left, when click
sound is felt and heard, the ignition air is closed.
After 15-20 minutes from starting fire the by-pass
damper can be also closed. Smoke starts circulated in
the ducts and heat from it will be passed and stored in
the Power Stone core.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the fron of
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Place first layer of
wood logs perpendicular to the front. The fire should
burn with bright and lively flames.
Reload size
Chopped wood (diametre of 6-9cm)
Length: 25-30cm
Normal load size. 3,75 kg /h
(Max load size: 3,75 kg/h)
When the fire end, close smoke damper in order to
store more warmth inside appliance.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash
and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the stove. Wood
species have different degrees of hardness - the higher
the hardness of the wood, the higher the energy value.
Beech, oak and birch havest the highest degree of
hardness.
NB! We do not recommend the use of fuel briquettes /
compact wood in our combustion chambers, as these
products may develop significantly higher temperature
than the combustion chamber can withstand. Burning
briquettes / compact wood is at your own risk and can
cause invalidity of the warranty.
NEVER use impregnated wood, painted wood,
plywood, chipboard, rubbish, milk cartons,
printed material or similar. If any of these items
are used as fuel the warranty is invalid.
Common to these materials is that they during
combustion can form hydrochloric acid and
heavy metals that are harmful to the environment,
you and the stove. Hydrochloric acid can also
corrode the steel in the chimney or masonry in
a masonry chimney. Also, avoid burning bark,
sawdust or other extremely fine wood, apart from
when lighting a fire. This form of fuel can easily
cause a flashover that can lead to temperatures
that are too high.
Warning: Make sure the stove is not overheated
- it can cause irreparable damage to the product.
Such damage is not covered by the warranty.
