The chimney draught is created by the difference between the temperatures inside and outside the
chimney. The higher the temperature inside the chimney, the better the draught. It is therefore crucial
to properly warm up the chimney before closing the dampers and limiting the combustion in the stove
(a brick chimney takes longer to warm up than a steel chimney). On days where the weather and wind
conditions create insufficient draught inside the chimney, it is even more important to warm up the
chimney as quickly as possible. The trick is to quickly get some flames going. Split the wood into extra
fine pieces, use an extra firelighter, etc.
If the stove has not been used for a longer period, it is important to check that the chimney pipe is
not blocked.
It is possible to connect several devices to the same chimney. However, it is important to first check
the applicable rules.
Even a good chimney may work poorly if it is used incorrectly. Similarly, a bad chimney may work well
if used correctly.
Chimney sweeping
To prevent the risk of chimney fires, the chimney must be cleaned every year. The flue duct and the
smoke chamber above the baffle plate must be cleaned together with the chimney. If the chimney is
too tall to be cleaned from above, it must be equipped with a soot door.
In case of a chimney fire, close all dampers and call the firefighters. Before any further use, have the
chimney checked by the chimney sweeper.

The first time you light up the stove, do it gently to allow all materials to acclimatise to the heat. The
lacquer used for the stove coating will harden the first time the stove is lit. Therefore you should open
the door very gently, as otherwise there is a risk that the gasket will get stuck in the lacquer. Further-
more, the lacquer will give off some odours the first time you light the stove. You should therefore
make sure that the room is properly ventilated. Please be aware that the glove supplied with the stove
could rub off the paint if the lacquer has not been allowed to harden sufficiently. Therefore you should
always be careful not to touch the door itself until the stove has been lit 2-3 times.
Tips about fuel
Approved fuel types
The wood burning stove is EN approved for combustion of wood only. It is recommended to use dried
chopped wood with a water content of a maximum of 20%. Stoking a fire with wet wood results in
soot, environmental problems, and a less efficient fuel economy.
Recommended wood types
All types of wood, for instance birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers, and fruit trees can be used as fuel
in your wood burning stove. The great difference is not in the fuel value, but in the weight of the
