Preparing the outside air
connection
If the appliance is installed in a room without sufficient
ventilation, you can install the connecting kit on the
appliance for the supply of outside air.
The air supply tube is 100 mm in diameter. If using a
smooth tube, it may be no longer than 12 metres long.
If accessories such as bends are used, the maximum
length (12 metres) must be reduced by 1 metre for
each accessory used.
Outside air connection via the wall
1. Make an opening in the wall (see the appendix,
"Measurements", for the correct position of the
opening).
2. Close the air connection hermetically to the wall.
Installing and connecting
1. Position the stove in the correct place, and make
sure it is level.
2. Connect the appliance airtight to the flue (chim-
ney).
3. In the case of connection to outside air: connect
the outside air supply to the connector fitted to the
appliance.
4. Re-position all removed parts in the correct places
in the stove.
Never light a fire in the appliance without the
fireproof inner plates.
The appliance is now ready for use.
Use
First use
When you use the stove for the first time, make an
intense fire and keep it going for a good few hours.
This will cure the heat-resistant paint finish. This may
result in some smoke and odours. You could open win-
dows and doors for a while in the area in which the
stove is located.
Fuel
This stove is only suitable for burning natural wood;
sawn and chopped wood that is sufficiently dry.
11
Do not use other fuels, as they can cause serious
damage to the stove.
You are not allowed to use the following fuels, as they
pollute the environment and because they heavily soil
the appliance and flue, which may lead to a chimney
fire:
Treated wood, such as scrap wood, painted wood,
impregnated wood, preserved wood, plywood and
chipboard.
Plastics, scrap paper and domestic waste.
Wood
Hardwood, such as oak, beech, birch and fruit tree
wood is the ideal fuel for your stove. This type of
wood burns slowly with calm flames. Softwood
contains more resins, burns faster and sparks
more.
Use seasoned wood that contains no more than
20% moisture. The wood should have been sea-
soned for at least 2 years.
Saw the wood to size and split it while it is still
fresh. Fresh wood is easier to split, and split wood
dries more easily. Store the wood under a roof
where the wind has free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all the energy is used in the evaporation of
moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke and soot
deposits on the stove door and in the chimney. The
water vapour will condense in the stove and can
leak away through chinks in the stove, causing
black stains on the floor. It may also condense in
the chimney and form creosote. Creosote is a
highly flammable compound and may cause a chim-
ney fire.
Lighting
You can check whether the flue has sufficient draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often has insufficient draught and consequently,
some smoke may escape into the room instead of up
the chimney. You can avoid this problem by lighting
the fire as described below.
1. Stack two layers of medium sized logs crosswise.
2. Stack two layers of kindling crosswise on top of
the logs.
Subject to change because of technical improvements.
