Finishing
1. Put all dismantled parts back into the appliance in
their correct places.
2. Ensure that the newly built hearth is dry enough
before firing 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 appliance 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
windows and doors for a while in the area where the
appliance is located.

Fuel

The appliance is suitable for burning natural wood
(sawn, split and dry enough), brown coal briquettes
and anthracite coal.
Do not use other fuels, as they can lead to serious
damage to the appliance.
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 from oaks, beeches, birches
and fruit trees, is the ideal fuel for your stove. This
type of wood burns slowly with calm flames.
Softwood contains more resins, burns faster and
gives off more sparks.

Brown coal briquettes
Brown coal briquettes have approximately the same
burning characteristics as wood.
Anthracite coal
Anthracite coal is categorised on the basis of
characteristics, sometimes prescribed by law, such
as the percentage of volatile substances. The ash
content of anthracite coal is between 3% and 13%.
The lower the ash content, the higher the net heating
value and the less often you have to remove ash.

Lighting

You can check whether the flue has enough draught
by lighting a ball of paper above the baffle plate. A cold
flue often does not have enough draught and
consequently, some smoke may escape into the room
Use dried wood that contains no more than 20%
moisture. The wood must have dried for at least 2
years.
Saw the wood to size and split it when 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 wind free access.
Do not use damp wood. Damp logs do not produce
heat as all of the energy is used in the evaporation
of the moisture. This will result in a lot of smoke
and soot deposits on the door of the appliance and
in the chimney. The water vapour will condense in
the appliance and can leak away through chinks in
the appliance, 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 chimney fire.
Ensure there is a good charcoal bed before you
start burning brown coal briquettes.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
Preferably use category A anthracite coal with a
low ash content.
Use the recommended size 12/22 or 20/30.
For lighting the fireplace, follow the instructions in
the "Lighting" paragraph.
