!Tip
Instead of firelighters, you can also use a ball of newspaper.
Stack firelighters on top of the two wood blocks and place a
●
larger wood block on that.
Make sure that sufficient air can pass through the stack of
●
wood so that the wood lights easily.
Place a ball of newspaper on the stack (see picture 3).

!Caution
- A properly heated flue is needed for the draught in the flue
duct;

can supply a thermometer as an accessory to measure the
flue gas temperature.
- For a wood burning stove, use the slide of the primary air
supply to control the fire.
For a wood burning stove, close the slide of the primary air

Caution
!
Prevent the wood blocks from falling/lying against the glass.
!Tip
- Carefully place the wood blocks in the stove to prevent
damaging the vermiculite plates;
- Stack the wood blocks loosely on top of each other, so
sufficient air can reach them;
- If the wood is not burning properly, you can temporarily
open the slide of the wood stove's primary air supply.

●
approximately every 30 to 45 minutes.
