1.3 STARTING THE FIRE
• Open the window (pic.).
• Put a bed of tinder (paper or firelighters) with a little kindling
(small twigs or pieces of wood) in the stove and light the tinder.
• Leave the door slightly ajar (+ 3 cm) to get
a turbo stream of air that will make the kindling catch fire quicker.
•After the kindling has caught fire and burns well,
the logs may be placed on the fire. After the logs
have caught fire and giving off a good radiant heat, the window may be shut.
NOTE: When a fire is made for the first time,
the paint will harden and that give off smoke
and a smell, which starts after the fire has burned
for about 10 minutes and lasts for about 15 minutes.
See to it that there is ample ventilation in the room.
CAUTION :
It is not necessary to overload the fireplace with wood.
1 kg dry wood gives a 4 kW power.
Example : a fireplace with a 78% return gives a power for about 4kw x 78% = +/- 3
kW for 1 kg dry wood.
If you want a power of +/-12 kW , it is just enough to put 4 kg wood in the fire-
place. This is like two normal pieces of wood.
Be carefull not to use palletwood (this gives an enormous heat) for continuous
heating. This can lead to fire hazard. We are not responsible for the bad use of the
fireplaces and any consequence for not following this guideline.
