When you light up for the first time, you must do it carefully as all materials must be introduced to the heat gradually. The lacquer will be fully
hardened after the wood-burning stove has been light up for the first time. The door must be opened carefully; otherwise there is a risk that
the seals will stick to the lacquer. In addition the lacquer may initially give off an unpleasant odour, so make sure that the room is well ventilated.
Approved fuel types
The wood-burning stove is EU approved for firing with wood exclusively. It is recommended to use dried chopped wood with a water content of
12-18%. 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 insert. The great difference is not in the
fuel value, but in the weight of the wood types per cubic metre. Beech weighs more per m
3
of wood than common spruce, for instance. This is why
more common spruce is required, in terms of volume, to obtain an amount of heat similar to that of beech. Heavy types of wood such as ash, beech, oak
and elm are generally not that easy to light up. In addition, they burn more slowly and give off more embers. Light types of wood such as birch, maple,
spruce and pine are more easy to light up. They burn faster and give off fewer ambers. You may therefore take advantage of the light types of wood for
lighting and use the heavier types of wood to ensure a longer burning time.
Banned fuel types
It is not allowed to stoke a fire with the following:
• Printed matter
• Plywood, plastic
• Rubber
• Fluid fuels
• Rubbish such as milk cartons, lacquered wood or impregnated wood.
• Fossil fuels
The reason that you should not apply any of the above is that during combustion they develop substances that are health hazardous and harmful
to the environment. These substances could also damage your insert and chimney, rendering the product warranty void.
Storage of wood
A moisture content of 12-18% is achieved by storing recently felled wood outdoors under a lean-to for at least one year, preferably 2 years.
Wood stored indoors has a tendency to become too dry and combust too quickly. However, it might be advantageous to store fuel for lighting
a fire indoors for a few days prior to use.
We recommend that you buy a moisture meter to continuously check that the wood has the correct moisture content before it is used for firing.
Split the wood and measure the moisture content of the split surfaces.
Recommended dimensions
The dimensions of the fuel are important to good combustion. The dimensions should be as follows:
Fuel typeLength in cmDiameter in cm
Wood for kindling a fire (finely chopped)20-403-5
Chopped wood20-407-9
Regulating the stove
The integrated automatic air supply, HWAM® Autopilot
TM
, automatically regulates the air supply to the combustion chamber. The output – that is
the emission of heat - is regulated by means of the regulation lever. HWAM
®
Autopilot
TM
is set to maximum when the air control lever is in the
rightmost position and to minimum when the air control lever is in the leftmost position.
