better to burn wood intensely for a few hours
instead of having a low-intensity fire for a long
period of time.
Control the air supply using the air vent in the
door.
Always open the door carefully.
Close the door immediately after adding fuel.
Topping up with a few logs regularly is better than
adding many logs in one go.
Extinguishing the fire
Do not add fuel and just let the fire go out. If a fire is
damped down by reducing the air supply, harmful
substances will be released. For this reason, the fire
should be allowed to go out naturally. Keep an eye
on the fire until it has gone out. All air inlets can be
closed once the fire has died completely.
Removing ash
After wood has been burnt, a relatively small amount
of ash remains. This ash bed is a good insulating
layer for the stove base plate and improves
combustion. It is a good idea to leave a thin layer of
ash on the stove base plate.
You can remove the excess ash with the aid of a
small shovel.
Fog and mist
Fog and mist hinder the flow of flue gases through
the flue. Smoke can blow back and cause a stench. If
it is not strictly necessary, it is better not to use the
stove in foggy and misty weather.
Resolving problems
Refer to the appendix 'Diagnostic diagram' to resolve
any problems in using the appliance.
You may hear a ticking sound while the device is
heating up and cooling down. This is completely
normal, and caused by the expansion or contraction
of the material.

Maintenance
Follow the maintenance instructions in this chapter to
keep the appliance in good condition.
Flue
In many countries, you are required by law to have
your chimney checked and maintained.
At the start of the heating season: have the
chimney swept by a recognised chimney sweep.
During the heating season and after the chimney
has not been used for a long time: have the
chimney checked for soot.
At the end of the heating season: close off the
chimney and plug with newspaper.
Cleaning and other regular
maintenance
Do not clean the appliance when it is still
warm.
Clean the exterior of the appliance with a dry lint-
free cloth.
You can clean the appliance interior thoroughly at
the end of the heating season:
First remove any vermiculite inner plates. See the
chapter "Installation" for instructions on removing
and installing the inner plates.
If necessary, clean the air supply ducts.
If the stove has a detachable baffle plate, remove
the baffle plate at the top of the appliance and
clean it.
Checking fire-resistant inner
plates
The fire-resistant inner plates are consumables that
are subject to wear and tear. Vermiculite inner plates
are fragile. Do not knock the inner plates with logs.
Check the fire-resistant inner plates frequently and
replace them when necessary.
See the chapter 'Installation' for instructions on
removing and installing the inner plates.
