Westbo Classic Preparations
Preparation
If you are installing your stove top, rst measure the
center of chimney and prepares cutout in the ceiling.
Be careful to follow the chimney supplier’s instructions.
Should you connect rear, follow the instructions bellow.
1. Measure out the center of the hole 1735 mm.
2. Use suitable tools to make the hole approximately
5,5-6 inch to t the spigot (ue pipe is 5 inch).
3. We recommend that you use a ue spigot.
4. Insert the ue pipe into the spigot then connect with
the stove seal between the spigot and ue pipe
(preferly seal rop).
The pipe should not go into the actual chimney, cut if
necessary.
Apply additional sealant for other joints.
5. Important! If your connection kit includes a rosette
collar to cover the hole in to the chimney put it on
before connecting the stove.
6. Contact the chimney sweeper for an inspection.

Assembling
1. First unpack the stove and make sure everything
is delivered and that nothing is missing or damaged.
In case of damage please report to the carrier imme-
diately.
2. Remove the bottom part of the stove (main body)
from the pallet and put it in place. Then remove the
transportation lock. pic 1.
3. Place the upper smoke deector in steel on top of
the mainbody. pic 2.
4. Remove the upper part of the stove from the
pallet. pic 3
Save the bolts and braces for later.
5. Unscrew the smoke pipe from the pallet. pic 4
Place it on the mainbody against the sealing
rope. If you ordered the stove with adjustable ring
this is the step to assemble this. pic 5

Westbo of Sweden
Westbo Classic Mounting instructions
The threaded rods should go through the two holes
on the smoke pipe. pic 6.
Now you assemble the cast iron rings and the steel
tube as shown in pic 7 and 8.
7. Assemble the crown 6 pcs (if it is to be used) then
place the ring on top of the stove.
As showed in pic 9 and fasten it. In this step it is also
possible to adjust the outer body a little bit so the
stove is straight.
If distance to ceiling is more that 500 mm the steel
shield in pic 10 is not needed.
8. Place the lower smoke deector on the cast iron
rib as in pic 11 if taken away during unpacking.
9. If the lion emblem pic 8 is to used, assemble it by
drilling 2x3,5mm holes.
10. Finally connect the stove to the chimney.

Westbo Classic Wood and re handling
Air supply
Westbo Classic is equipped with 3 air controls.
Fire up
We recommend you to use re starters or equivalent that
you nd at your dealers.
By using them, you get a quick lit up of your wood and
cleaner combustion.
Never use lighter uid.
Place some thin wood together with a couple of re starters
in the burning chamber. Open the primary air control (2) on
the lower door or in some cases you may have to keep the
lower door open to get the re going.
Be aware to also have the grate open at this stage (lever on
the left).
Keep air control 1 closed and control 3 open (3-4mm)
Now lit up
After a while when burning well you can close the air supply
from underneath by closing the lower door, air control 2 and
the grate.
From now on you don’t need any air supply from underne-
ath the re to reach the best possible efciency and perfor-
mance of the stove.
Continuous ring
Operate the re with air control 3 and 1.
You will mainly control your rate of combustion with air
control 3.
The conditions for controlling combustion vary depending
on the temperature in the burning chamber and the draught
in the chimney.
This you will understand more after using the stove a couple
of times.
When the stove is getting hot you may open the air control
1 just a little 1-2mm to have the best possible efciency and
clean burning.
A recommended amount of wood per hour is 1.5 to 3 kg.
Smell
At the rst ring, a certain smell might occur. This depends
on the coating of the stove.
The smell disappears after a few res.
Emptying the ashes
The ashtray accessed by opening the lower door.
You can shake down the ash from the burning chamber
by using the grate lever on the left (this open and closes
the grate)
Empty the ash tray in a safe place.
NOTE! The ash can contain embers several days after
the re.
Cleaning glass
There are special glass cleaners from avalible at your
dealers.
Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Chimney re
In case of chimney re, all doors and air controls shall be
closed.
If necessary contact the authorities.

Westbo Classic Wood handling
Preparation
We recommend a diameter of 6-10 centimetre and that the
wood logs are 6 centimetre shorter than the replace.
This will help the air to circulate in the best possible way. If the
diameter is bigger, the wood logs must be splitted. Wood logs
that are splitted will dry better.
Storage
The splitted wood logs should be stored for 1-2 years before
usage. If the wood is put in piles it will dry faster. Before use,
store the wood in room temperature. Please keep in mind that
the wood during Autumn and Winter absorbs moist from the
air.
Moisture
To avoid environmental problems and to get the best fuel-
ling economy, the wood logs must be dried before use. They
should contain maximum 21% moisture. Best performance
of the wood logs is achieved by a moisture level of 15-18%.
A simple test is to beat two wood logs against each other.
If a numb sound occurs, the wood contains too much moist.
By using moist wood logs, large amount of the heat will be
used to evaporate the water. The stove will therefore not be
warm. This is of course uneconomic and there will be soot on
the glass hatches, inside the stove and in the chimney. The
environment will also be contaminated.
What is correct amount of wood logs?
How much is a kilo of wood? Or how do you handle the wood
in a correct way? There are literature to buy regarding wood
knowledge. It is a good thing to acquire a little more knowled-
ge on the subject than what we communicate here.
It is absolutely forbidden to re
Painted, pressure-treated or glued wood. Neither is chipboard,
plastic, or treated paper suitable to re. The substances con-
tained in these products are harmful both to the environment
and to the stove. Even the chimney can be attacked if you
use material mentioned above.
Simply put, re only clean wood logs.
Caloric wood value
The caloric wood value varies between wood species. On
some you need to put a bit more wood into the replace to get
the same amount of heat like other wood species. In our ring
instructions, we calculate with birch wood, which has a very
good caloric value and is the type of wood we recommend.
By burning oak or beech, keep in mind that these types of
wood have a higher caloric value than birch. Wood logs
must also be reduced so the stove won’t be damaged.
Pine and spruce have higher caloric value than birch.
