3.
Softwood (only in a very well-burning fire in order to avoid deposits in the chimney)
4.
Dry spruce is often used as kindling because it burns quickly.
Never use:
7.
Wet or fresh wood. This makes it difficult to light the appliance, and it produces little heat.
8.
Painted or impregnated wood. The chemicals are bad for the environment and will affect the coating
of the glass panel.
9.
Coal types such as anthracite, coke or egg coal. These are only suitable for burning in a coal stove.
10.
Printed (coloured) paper from magazines. A wad of newspapers to light the appliance is of course
acceptable.
11.
Plastic and other waste. There is no such thing as an "all burner"!
12.
Never burn in foggy or windless weather, avoid creating a nuisance in your environment.
Dry wood burns best.
The firewood must be dry. Freshly cut wood is unsuitable because it contains too much moisture (about
60%). Damp wood can be identified by hitting two logs together; wet wood will sound dull. In this case,
allow the wood to dry for at least one, or even two, years. Your wood will dry well if you store it outside
under a roof (not in the garage), preferably in a sunny spot. This will allow the wind to move around it
and prevent rain getting it wet. Short, split trunks dry the fastest. After drying, they only contain 15 to
20% moisture and offer the highest yield. Dry wood will produce a short, clear sound when you hit two
logs together.
White smoke.
Your appliance is working correctly if you can see colourless or white smoke coming out of your chimney
flue. Light coloured smoke indicates good fuel with good combustion. Grey, blue or even black smoke is
produced by incomplete combustion, and this can be caused by damp wood or a low temperature.
Combustion air.
You probably won't notice it, but a wood-burning appliance uses about 35 cubic metres of air per hour.
A sufficient supply of "fresh" air must therefore always be supplied. The external air connection (which is
an added extra) can be used to ensure a sufficient fresh air supply. In a few cases, smoke backflow can be
caused by something other than poor ventilation. Perhaps the wood you are using creates strong smoke.
In this case, the duct may not be able to process the quantity of flue gases. Or maybe you are burning the
right wood, but the pipe or flue has an obstruction, or it narrows at some point. If you are unsure about
the cause, please contact your dealer immediately.
Ash.
After many hours of enjoying your fire, ash will build up. Leave the ash in the appliance for as long as
possible. Only scoop it out when the ash layer starts to block the primary air holes in the front and rear
combustion chamber. This should be done with a steel shovel and bucket because the ashes may still be
smouldering, even after a few days. Ash from clean, dry wood is a natural product. It is an excellent "soil
improver". Cooled ashes can also be placed in the GFT container.

INSTALLATION OF THE APPLIANCE
Converting the top connection to the rear flue gas duct connection:
As standard, the appliance comes with a top connection, but this can be converted easily into a rear
connection.
*
Remove the round back plate from the casing (break it out by moving it back and forth)
*
Very carefully remove the baffle plate in the appliance, (see Appendix 3).
*
Remove the efficiency plate at the top connection, (see Appendix 3).
*
Remove the cover plate from the discharge opening on the back of the appliance via the inside of
the appliance.
*
Remove the discharge support from the top of the appliance and place it on the connection opening
at the back of the appliance. Make sure there is a good gas-tight seal.
*
Fit the efficiency plate at the location of the rear connection with the opening facing upwards. Slide
the efficiency plate downwards in the most open position; you can adjust the draft in the appliance
as needed later by adjusting the plate. The latter also applies to a top connection (see Appendix 1).
*
Now fit the cover plate that was removed from the rear connection to the duct opening on top of
the appliance, making sure there is a good gas-tight seal.
*
Carefully replace the baffle plate in the reverse order it was removed, and ensure that all the
interior vermiculite panels are free of any tension.
