Periodically, it may be necessary to change the
gaskets on the door to ensure that the burn chamber
is air tight and working optimally. These gaskets can
be bought as a set, usually including ceramic glue.

REFRACTORY
GLASS CANNOT
BE RECYCLED
Recycling of the refractory glass
Refractory glass cannot be recycled. Old glass, bre-
akage or otherwise unusable refractory glass, must be
discarded as residual waste. Refractory glass has a
higher melting temperature, and can therefore not be
recycled together with glass. In case it would be mixed
with ordinary glass, it would damage the raw material
and could, in worst case end the recycling of glass.
It is an important contribution to the environment to
ensure that refractory glass does not end up with the
recycling of ordinary glass.
Packaging Recycle
The packaging accompanying the product should be
recycled according to national regulations.
7. Warranty

8. Advice on Lighting a Fire
The best way to light a re is with the use of lightening
briquettes and dry kindling wood. Newspapers
cause a lot of ashes and the ink is damaging for the
environment. Advertising yers, magazines, milk
cartons and similar are not suitable for lighting a re.
Good air supply is important at ignition. When the ue
is hot the draught increases and door can be closed.
Warning: NEVER use a lighting fuel such as
petrol, parafn, methylated spirits or similar for
lighting a re. This could cause injury to you as
well as damaging the product.
Use clean and dry wood with a maximum moisture
content of 20% and minimum 16%. The wood logs
should dry for a minimum of 6 months after it is cut.
Humid wood requires a lot of air for the combustion,
as extra energy/heat is required for drying the humid
wood and heat effect is therefore minimal. In addition
this creates soot in the chimney with the risk of
creosote and chimney re.
Storing of Wood
In order to ensure that the wood is dry, the tree should
be cut in winter and then stored during the summer,
under roof and in a location with adequate ventilation.
The wood pile must never be covered by a tarpaulin
which is lying against the ground as the tarpaulin will
then act as a sealed lid that will prevent the wood from
drying. Always keep a small amount of wood indoors
for a few days before use so that moisture in the
surface of the wood can evaporate.
Firing
Not enough air to the combustion may cause the glass
to soot. Hence, supply the re with air just after the
wood is added, so that the ames and gases in the
combustion chamber are properly burnt off. Open the
air vent and have the door slightly ajar in order for the
ames to establish properly on the wood.
Note that the air supply for the combustion also can
be too large and cause an uncontrollable re that
very quickly heat up the whole hearth to an extremely
high temperature (when ring with a closed or nearly
closed door). For this reason you should never ll the
combustion chamber completely with wood.
It is recommended to keep an even re with a small
amount of wood. If too many logs are put on the
hot ember, the air supply will not be sufcient for
reaching the require temperature, and the gases will
be released unburnt. For this reason it is important
to increase the air supply just after adding the logs in
order to have proper ames in the burn chamber so
that the gases are burnt.
Choice of Fuel
All types of wood, such as birch, beech, oak, elm,
ash and fruit trees, can be used as fuel in the stove.
Wood species have different degrees of hardness -
the higher the hardness of the wood, the higher the
energy value. Beech, oak and birch havest the highest
degree of hardness.
NB! We do not recommend the use of fuel briquettes /
compact wood in our combustion chambers, as these
products may develop signicantly higher temperature
than the combustion chamber can withstand. Burning
briquettes / compact wood is at your own risk and can
cause invalidity of the warranty.
