The chimney is the “motor” of the stove and it is crucial for the functioning of the stove. The chimney draft provides a partial vacuum in the stove.
This vacuum removes the smoke from the stove, sucks air through the dampers for the so-called glass pane rinse which keeps the glass free of
soot, and sucks in air through both primary and secondary dampers for the combustion.
The chimney draft is created by the differences in temperature inside and outside the chimney. The higher the temperature within the chimney,
the better the draft. It is crucial, therefore, that the chimney is warmed through properly before closing the damper and limiting the combustion
in the stove (a brick chimney takes longer to warm through 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. Contact your local
chimney sweeper for the approval of your chimney.
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’s height makes cleaning from above impossible, a cleaning hatch must be installed in the chimney.
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.
Quick or strong heat
Quick or strong heat is obtained by burning many small pieces of wood.

Warning: If these limits are exceeded, the stove will no longer be covered by the factory guarantee, and it may also become damaged due to
excessive heat. The stove has been approved for intermittent use.

Prolonged burning time
The slowest combustion is achieved by pushing the air control lever to the left. If the control lever is pushed all the way to the left, no air is sup-
plied through the holes in the rear insulation plate of the combustion chamber. Upon stoking, the firewood will therefore not be able to catch fire.
When adding new firewood, always remember to check that the wood has caught fire properly. If not, the air supply must be increased by pushing
the air control lever to the right. When the air control lever is pushed approx. 30 mm to the right (when seen from the leftmost position), the
wood-burning stove can re-start without further adjustment. The longest burning time is achieved by pushing the air control lever to the leftmost
position when the flames are about to die. This will ensure the longest period with embers. A slightly longer burning time can be achieved by
adjusting the air control lever slightly to the left (approx. 8 mm) after approx. 20 minutes of burning.
Insufficient firing
If the fireproof materials in the combustion chamber are blackened after a heating session, the stove is polluting, and the automatic air flow regu-
lation system is not functioning properly. The bar must therefore be pushed to the right. Also, it may be necessary to burn more wood.
Types of fuel
We recommend using birch or beechwood, which has been split and stored for at least one year outdoors under cover. Wood stored indoors
tends to become too dry and burn too quickly.
How to achieve the best combustion
• Use clean and dry wood.
Wet wood results in inefficient combustion, plenty of smoke, and soot. Furthermore, the heat will dry the wood, not heat up the room.
• The fire should only be stoked with a little wood at a time.
You achieve the best combustion by starting up a fire often and using only a little wood. If you use too much firewood, it will take some time
before the temperature reaches a level where you achieve a good combustion.
• Make sure there is the right amount of air.
You should also make sure that there is plenty of air – especially in the beginning - so the temperature in the insert climbs quickly. In this way
the gasses and particles released during the combustion will be consumed by the fire. Otherwise they build up soot in the chimney (constitut-
ing a chimney fire risk) or will be released in a non-combusted state into the environment. The wrong amount of air supply creates inefficient
combustion and a modest effect.
• Don’t savour the fire during night time
We advise against adding fire wood to your stove and reducing the air supply at night in an attempt to still have some embers left in the morning.
If you do so, large amounts of hazardous smoke will be emitted, and your chimney will be exposed to unnecessarily large amounts of soot with the
