CHOICE OF FUEL
All sorts of logs, such as birch, beech, oak, elm, ash, conifers
and fruit trees can be used as fuel in the tiled stove.
Different types of wood have different density, the higher
the density the higher the energy value. Oak, beech and
birch have the highest density.
Fresh wood is about 50 per cent water. Some of the water
circulates freely between the fibres and some of the water
is bound in the cells. The wood must always be dried so
that the free water evaporates. The timber is ready for use
when the moisture content has fallen below 20 %. If wood
with a higher moisture content is lit, a large part of the
energy content of the wood is used boiling off the water.
If the wood is damp, the combustion is also poor, layers of
soot and tar build up in the chimney and could, at worst,
lead to a chimney fire. In addition, it causes the glass of
the tiled stove to soot and may cause discomfort to those
living nearby.
To ensure thoroughly dry wood, the wood should be cut in
the winter and stored, well aired, under a roof. Never cover
the wood pile with a tarpaulin to the ground. The tarpaulin
will then act as a sealed cover and the wood will be prevented
from drying.
Always store a small amount of wood indoors for several
days before use, so that the surface moisture has time to
evaporate.
The moisture content can be easily checked by weighing a
small test piece of wood before and after it has been dried
at an oven temperature of 80° C for 24 hours. Calculate
the moisture content by dividing the weight of evaporated
water by the total weight of wood including water.

Warning! Under no circumstances may pressure impregnated
wood, painted or glued wood, chipboard, plastic or
colour brochures be used as fuel in a tiled stove. All these
materials can create hydrochloric acid and heavy metals
that are damaging both to the environment and the tiled
stove. Hydrochloric acid can also attack the steel in the
chimney or the mortar in a stone built chimney.
The correct size of wood is also important for combustion.
The size of the wood should be:
Kindling wood: Finely chopped wood
Length: 25 -35 cm
Diameter: 2 - 5 cm
Weight per lighting: 2.5 kg (approx. 10 - 12 finely chopped
pieces)
Wood: Chopped wood
Length: 25 - 35 cm
Diameter: 7 - 9 cm
Normal weight: 2.0 kg (2-3 logs per load)
Max weight: 3.0 kg (3-4 logs per load)
12 kg per lighting
(followed by at least 9 hours cooling)
24 kg per 24 hours

LIGHT THE FIRE AS FOLLOWS:
It is important that the correct amount of wood is used, especially
when lighting. If you are lighting the fire for the first time
you should use a set of scales to see how much 2.5 kg kindling
is. Also check what the normal and maximum weights
look like.
The tiled stove is only intended for use with the door closed.
Always open the door carefully and slowly to prevent blow
back because of the changing pressure in the stove.
The function of tiled stoves differs depending on the draft
conditions in the chimney. Achieving the correct setting for
the combustion air damper and start damper and the appropriate
amount and size of wood usually takes a few attempts.
Lighting
Important!
Note that if too little kindling is used when lighting, or if
the wood is too thickly cut, the fire box will not reach the
correct operating temperature. Incorrect lighting can lead
to poor combustion with heavy sooting and may result in
the fire going out when the door is shut.
If your house has mechanical exhaust air ventilation you will
need to open a window near the tiled stove before lighting the
fire. Leave the window open for a few minutes until the fire
has caught.
In order to obtain a good bed of embers, there should always
be a thin layer of ash and charred pieces in the tiled stove.
1. Open the combustion air damper, flue damper and start
damper to the fully open position.
2. Place some newspaper or a fire lighter block, and approximately
2.5 kg kindling in the middle of the tiled stove.
The wood should be piled alternately across and lengthways.
3. Light the fire. Leave the door ajar with an opening of
about 10 mm to the holder.
4. When the fire has caught fully after approx 10-15 minutes,
close the doors completely. With good draft in the
chimney the start damper is moved to approx 1⁄4 of the
fully open position.
5. When the first wood refill is made and has caught, the
start damper can be closed.
How early the start damper can be closed varies. This depends
on how hot the tiled stove is regarding lighting and on the
draft conditions in the chimney.
Wood loading
Just before the fire has burnt down and the flames have gone
out it is time to add more wood.
1. Open the door handle slightly and let the vacuum in the
firebox equalise for a few seconds before opening the
door completely.
2. Add 2-3 logs of a combined weight of approx 2-2.5 kg.
Lay the logs so that there is space between them. This is
to achieve the correct air mixture. Then close the door.
3. The combustion damper must be completely open for 2-
3 minutes until the logs turn black and catch fire. If you
wish for slower combustion, the supply of combustion air
can now be reduced. The conditions for controlling combustion
vary depending on the temperature in the tiled

stove and the draft in the chimney. Remember that the
fire must always burn with bright clear flames.
4. Add two more loads of wood of 2-2.5 kg each. Then
allow the tiled stove to give off the accumulated heat
for 9-12 hours before repeating the lighting procedure.
Do not exceed the permitted amount of wood of 12 kg
per lighting instance with a following cooling period of
at least 9 hours. Maximum permitted weight of wood
is 24kg over 24 hours.
5. When the glow has gone out the combustion damper
and the flue damper can be shut. This is to prevent
heat leakage through the chimney during the cooling
period.
Important!
It is important that the wood catches fire quickly. Quick
lighting is achieved by opening the combustion air damper
fully or by leaving the door ajar for a moment. Pyre
lighting causes thick smoke and can cause quick gas
ignition with the risk of damage to property and personal
injury.
It is important that the flue damper is not closed until
the glow in the tiled stove has gone out.
DAMPER
Below the door of the tiled stove there is a control for the
combustion damper. The control is open when it is pulled
out. The combustion air damper must be fully out during
lighting and at the start of the first loading. The supply air
can first be controlled when the tiled stove and chimney are
hot. How much the supply air can be controlled depends
on how hot the stove is and the strength of the draft in the
chimney. When the glow has gone out, the combustion
damper can be shut completely.
There are two damper controls on the side of the upper
section of the tiled stove. The damper control that moves
in and out controls the start damper. The start control is
open when it is pulled out. The twist control controls the
flue damper. When the control is vertical the flue damper is
open, when it is horizontal it is closed.
A label with three positions of
the flue damper and the start
damper is supplied with the
tiled stove. The label is static
adhesive and is applied to the
side of the tiled stove next to
the flue damper by moistening
the surfaces with water.
• START. When starting, the start control must be open and
pulled out. The flue damper must be vertical and open.
• NORMAL FIRE. For normal burning the start damper
must be closed and pushed in. The flue damper must be
vertical and open.
• CLOSED. After completed burning, the start damper
must be closed and pushed in. The flue damper must be
horizontal and closed.

GENERAL
A correctly lit tiled stove gives good heating economy and
warmth for a long period of time. The tiled stove should be
lit regularly with cooling down periods of 9-12 hours. It is
therefore recommended that fires are lit twice a day, which
gives even heating for a long time. The fire should not be
too big. Normal fires require about 2 kg of wood per load.
The recommended amounts are 2.5 kg of kindling followed
by three loads of wood, which totals approximately 9
kg per fire. Externally, the tiled stove should never be hotter
than one can touch without getting burnt, which is about
65°C. The largest permitted weight of wood is 3 kg per
wood load and maximum 12 kg per lighting followed by a
cooling period of at least 9 hours. The maximum weight of
wood per 24 hours is 24 kg and refers to cut birch or other
broadleaf wood with 18 % moisture content. When lighting
the same weight of conifer wood, significantly higher
stove temperatures are reached. Exceeding the largest permitted
weight of wood can cause the tiled stove and nearby
building parts to overheat. The service life is shortened and
parts of the tiled stove may be damaged and the warranty
will no longer apply
WHEN THE TILED STOVE IS NEW
Allow the tiled stove to rest for a week or so before lighting
for the first time to give the adhesive time to harden. Only
light the stove for a max 2 hours the first few times. When
the tiled stove is lit for the first time a particular smell may
be detected, which indicates an oil coating and excess paint
on the panels. After a number of fires the smell will disappear.
MAINTENANCE OF TILED STOVE
During burning the glass can become sooty, even when burning
dry wood with a moisture content of 15 - 20%. Wiping
with dry paper is often sufficient when cleaning regularly. If
the soot has been on the glass for longer it can be removed
using cleaning agent or a specific soot removal agent. These
cleaning agents can be purchased at your local supermarket
or your local tiled stove dealer.
● Never use cleaning agents that contain any abrasives,
these can damage the glass.
● Ensure that the no embers remain when removing ash
from the stove. The ash must be stored in a fireproof container
with a lid for at least least a week before being disposed of.
● The tiling is cleaned using soapy water, dry using dry
cloths.
● Checking the gaskets is important from a combustion
point of view, because worn gaskets reduce combustion
efficiency when the tiled stove burns leaked air.
● Painted parts of the tiled stove can be cleaned with a damp
cloth and, if necessary, a little washing-up liquid. Brass
components must be polished regularly to retain their shine.
Damage, such as scratches, to painted parts can be repaired
using Cronspisen touch up paint. Contact your dealer.

GB
● Because there is a constant flow of air though the tiled
stove, cold room air is drawn in and hot air released, dust
can gather inside the grille under the tiled stove. Therefore,
one should regularly clean under the tile stove.
● Components close to the centre of the fire may need to
be replaced. An example of such a component is the stove
cladding. The life of these components depends on how
much and in what way the tiled stove has been used.
SWEEPING
Sweeping the tiled stove, chimney ducts and chimney
connections should be carried out by a chimney sweep.
In order to access the flue damper and rear connection
the start damper is opened and the soot hatch is removed.
Remove the smoke baffle and remove the vermiculite
panels from the sides of the stove. There are guide baffles
hanging from the edges of the insert in the smoke channels
on both sides of the stove. Unhook the guide baffles
from the insert and remove them. All the ducts inside the
stove can now be accessed. A soot vacuum cleaner is the
best way to remove soot from the bottom of the tiled stove.
Reinstalling the parts is described in the next section.
If a chimney fire occurs or is suspected, the combustion
damper and the door must be closed. If necessary, contact
the fire brigade to extinguish it. The chimney must always
be inspected by a chimney sweep after a chimney fire.
Components in the firebox

The baffles have the task of guiding the smoke gases down
at the sides. Insert the baffle in the front left side flue.
When the baffle is inserted it is angled slightly and pressed
against the front flue wall so that the spring bends. Insert
the baffle so that the notch is level with the edge of the
hole in the side of the insert. Angle the baffle back so that
it is parallel with the front side and hook it into place on
the edge of the insert.
The baffle must hang from the edge of the insert and lie
against the intermediate wall between the front and rear
flues. The same procedure is used to install the right hand
baffle.
20
Insert the rear smoke baffle and position it on the upper
side of the insert. Move it backwards so that it is against
the intermediate wall between the front and rear flues.
Insert the front smoke baffle in the same way and move it
against the front intermediate wall.
Fix the holders to the vermiculite sheets and install the
sheets on the sides. Slid the sheets as far forward as possible
to the front side of the insert so that the air intake at
the rear is not blocked. Insert the rear vermiculite sheet in
the U profile furthest in. Then stand it vertically on the cast
iron bottom.

When the baffle is inserted it is angled slightly to the right
so that the curved part is parallel to the insert. Insert the
baffle so that the notch is level with the edge of the hole
in the side of the insert. Hook it into place on the edge of
the insert. Insert a hand into the middle and feel on the
upper side of the insert that both hooks on the curved part
are on the edge. Move the guide baffle backwards until it is
against the curved intermediate wall.
The baffle must hang from the edge of the insert and lie
against the intermediate wall between the front and rear

Insert the smoke baffle and position it on the upper side
of the insert. Move it backwards against the rear wall of
the insert. If it is tight between the upper side of the insert
and the intermediate wall in the body, compress the smoke
baffle a little so that it is lower.
Fix the holders to the vermiculite sheets and install the
sheets on the sides. Slid the sheets as far forward as possible
to the front side of the insert so that the air intake at
the rear is not blocked. Insert the rear vermiculite sheet in
the U profile furthest in. Then stand it vertically on the cast
iron bottom.

POSSIBLE CAUSES OF OPERATIONAL INTERFERENCE AND HOW TO RECTIFY THEM
Poor draft in the tiled stove after new installation.
● Check the length of the chimney so that it meets the
requirements, that is, one metre above the ridge, and a
total length of at least 3.5 metres.
● Check that there is nothing in the chimney to restrict
the smoke and that no nearby buildings or trees affect
the winds around the chimney.
● Check the area of the chimney (applies to existing
stone built chimneys), which should be 150-200 cm².
It is difficult to light the fire and the fire dies after a
short time.
● The wood may not be dry enough, check the wood.
● Another reason is that there may be negative pressure
in the house, for example when using a kitchen
extractor fan or other mechanical ventilation. Open a
window near the tiled stove before lighting the fire.
Also try lighting some newspaper and holding it up
inside the tiled stove to get the draft going.
● The air supply duct from the outside may be completely
or partially blocked. Disconnect the hose and try
lighting the fire with combustion air from the room.
● Perhaps the combustion air damper is not open.
● The smoke outlet of the tiled stove may be blocked
with soot, which can occur after sweeping. Check by
removing the soot hatch, firebox cladding and smoke
baffle.
Warning!
22
● Finally go through the lighting instructions again.
Perhaps the amount of kindling was too small and therefore
the base embers were too weak and cold to light
the next load of wood.
Abnormal amounts of soot form on the glass
There is always a certain amount of soot on the glass and
this is added to with each lighting. Soot on the glass is caused
by three things:
● The wood is damp, which causes poor combustion
resulting in smoke.
● Too low temperature in the firebox, which causes
incomplete combustion and poor draft in the chimney.
● Incorrect procedure, the door was not in the lighting
position for approximately 15 minutes.
Check the moisture content of the wood, ensure that you
have good base embers and go through the lighting instructions
once again.
Smoke odour around the tiled stoves for periods.
This can occur when wind blows down the chimney and
most often occurs when the wind is from a particular
direction. Another cause is the door was opened when it
is burning hard. If a problem occurs that you cannot rectify
yourself, contact the dealer or a chimney sweep.
We hope that these words of advice will help you to enjoy
pleasant, economic and problem free use of your tiled stove.
During operation, certain surfaces of the tiled stove become very hot and can cause burn injury if touched.
Be aware of the strong heat radiated through the hatch glass.
Placing flammable material closer than the safe distance indicated may cause a fire.
Pyre lighting can cause quick gas ignition with the risk of damage to property and personal injury.
