using the wood burning stove

adjustment of the air damper

- the damper has 3 settings (see photos in front of manual).
position 1
push the lever all the way in.
The damper is almost closed; there is a minimal air intake. This position must be avoided
during normal operation. notice Warning on page 76.
position 2
pull the lever until first click (middle position). This position gives full secondary air.
During normal wood stoking the lever is set between position 1 and 2.
When the flames are clear and yellow, the damper is set correctly, i.e. resulting in a slow/
optimal burning.
position 3
pull the lever until next click. The air damper is completely open and gives full primary and
partly secondary air.
The position is for the lighting stage of wood and is not used under normal operation of
wood stoking.
The position 3 is for normal operation with coal firing.

first usage

a careful start pays off. Start with a small fire, so that the wood burning stove can get
accustomed to the high temperature. This gives the best start and any damage is avoided.
be aware that a strange but harmless odour and smoke concoction may emanate from
the surface of the stove, the first time you fire up. This is because the paint and materi-
als need to harden. The odour disappears quickly, but you should check the ventilation
and draught, if possible. See also, the ImpoRTanT warning notice below about persistent
fumes.
During this process you must be careful not to touch the visible surfaces/glass (very hot!),
and it is recommended that you regularly open and close the door to prevent the door
seal from sticking.
The stove may also produce "clicking noises" during heating and cooling, caused by the
large temperature differences which the material is subjected to.
never use any type of liquid fuel for kindling or maintaining the fire. There is a danger of
explosion.
The stove gets very hot when in use always wear protective gloves when tending the
stove.
If the stove has not been used for a while, follow the steps as if you were using it for the
first time.
