5. Lighting the fire for the first time

When the stove is assembled and all instructions have
been observed, a fire can be lit.
Take care when inserting logs into the combustion
chamber, in order not to damage the Thermotte plates.
Please note that there might be some humidity in the
insulation plates which can result in a slower burn
rate the first few times the stove is used. These will be
resolved once the humidity has evaporated. Possibly
leave the door slightly open the first 2-3 times that the
stove is used. It is advisable to ventilate the room
well when firing for the first time as the varnish
on the stove may release some smoke or smell.
Both the smoke and smell will disappear and are not
hazardous.

Lighting a fire
Insert small dry pieces of kindling wood, ignite and
ensure that the flames have established on the wood
before closing the door. Open the air vent control (FIG
13) before you close the door. Additional ignition air
is obtained by keeping the door slightly open. When
the flames are stable and the chimney is warm, the air
supply is regulated with the air vent control.
When there is a glowing layer of ash, new wood logs
can be inserted. Pull the hot ember to the front of the
combustion chamber when inserting new logs so that
the wood is ignited from the front. Keep the door slightly
open each time new logs are inserted so that the flames
get established. The fire should burn with bright and
lively flames.
Using the stove with low combustion effect and firing
around the clock increase pollution as well as the risk
for a fire in the chimney. Never allow the stove or flue
to become glowing red. Turn off the air vent control
should this happen. Regulation of the air vent control
takes some experience, but after a little while a natural
rhythm for the fire will be found.
IMPORTANT! Always remember to open the air
vent control (preferably also the door) before new
wood logs are inserted into a hot burn chamber.
Let the flames get a good grip on the wood before
the air control setting is reduced.
When the draught in the chimney is low and
the vent is closed, the gas from the firewood
can be ignited with a bang. This can cause
damages to the product as well as the immediate
6. Maintenance
Cleaning and inspection
The stove should be inspected thoroughly and cleaned
at least once per season (possibly in combination
with the sweeping of the chimney and chimney pipes).
Ensure that all joints are tight and that the gaskets are
rightly positioned. Exchange any gaskets that are worn
or deformed.
Remember that the stove must always be cold when
inspected.
Ashes
The ashes should be removed at regular intervals.
Be aware that the ashes can contain hot ember even
several days after the fire is finished. Use a container
of non-combustible material to remove the ashes. It is
recommended to leave a layer of ashes in the bottom
as this further insulates the burn chamber. Take care
with the Thermotte plates when the ashes are removed,
particularly when using an ash shovel, so as not to
damage them.
