Chimney

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.

Maximum ﬁring amount

Fuel Maximum amount per hour

Wood 2.5 kg

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.

Normal re-ﬁring interval for nominal ﬁring

Fuel Kg Normal ﬁring interval

Wood Ca. 1.6 50 min

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

risk of a chimney ﬁre.
