Do not refuel until the flames have nearly died down.
This ensures a perfect layer of embers for refuelling
and the wood catches fire more easily.

wood Wood is a renewable, living source of heating that you can enjoy
in a forest and in the comfort of your own home. If you follow a couple of
simple recommendations on choosing and lighting firewood, you can safely
enjoy the warmth provided by your wood stove.
l Wood shrinks up to 10 % while drying.
l Only cover the top layer of your woodpile.
l Wood will only dry outdoors between April and September.
l Knock two pieces of wood together – if they sound “brittle” and “hollow”,
the wood is dry.
l Bring your firewood into the house at least 12 hours before burning.
l Never use coated wood or driftwood; never use waste

Systematic lighting and use guarantee more satisfaction
with your wood stove. Clean glass and a clean
combustion chamber are visible proof of correct fuelling
with dry wood.
Please note! Use only dry, chopped wood. Damp wood
will spit and hiss as it burns because the moisture content
has to be removed by the fire before it burns properly.
Excessive quantities of wood increase the risk of overheating.
If you keep to these 6 simple steps, you will not only
improve your wood stove’s efficiency, and keep the
glass elements clean, you will also help to protect the
environment.
