STARTING UP AND OPERATING THE COOKER - GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
LIGHTING THE FREE-STANDING COOKER
The only correct and recommended way to light fireplaces and free-standing cookers is from the top.
It is advisable not to fill the firebox completely with wood. It is assumed that 1 kg of wood with a
humidity of up to 20% gives 3 kW of power. Before adding wood, allow the flames to die down and
do not add too much heat. After lighting the fire, fill the combustion chamber with wood, arranging
the fuel in such a way as to fill the chamber reasonably for the intended burning time as determined
by the user on the basis of individual experience and of course taking into account the rated power
of the appliance.
The door should be closed every time. If the stove has not been used for a long time, it is advisable to
start the fire at a lower power.
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
1. PREPARATION OF MATERIALS
- Several larger logs (split; max. moisture content up to 20%; diameter approx. 10-13 cm) - Handful of
small kindling (diameter approx. 2-5 cm; max. moisture content up to 20%,)
- Any kind of fire starter
- Matches/lighters
2. FURNACE PREPARATION
- Open all air vents/passages in the cooker
- Place the larger logs on the bottom of the firebox in an alternating manner
- Place a layer of small firewood on top of the larger logs (no more than 3 layers). Stack the logs leaving
gaps between them to ensure a free flow of air.
- Place kindling on top of the top layer of slabs
FIRING UP
Light the kindling and close the fireplace door. Depending on the length of the flue pipe and
its draught, kindling may take several to several minutes. If there is insufficient draught in the
chimney, unseal the fireplace door at the beginning of lighting by opening it. It is also a good
idea to open a window in the room where the fireplace is installed in order to get more air into
the room (only in the case of appliances that do not have a built-in air intake from the outside).
The fireplace stove is designed to burn wood with a moisture content of up to 20%. The use of coal,
