Starting your Twinfire
®
is just like starting any other log burner, it just uses smaller loads! Start with two small
logs, each one to be placed on either side of the central dome, each around 250g. Next place the kindling
load in a criss cross pattern on top, around 500g in total. Kindling plus small logs, yields an easy start.
Kindling and two small logs should total around 1kg. For safety reasons fluid fuels are categorically
not allowed to be used. We recommend the use of fire lighters for the most effective start, when
used as recommended.
To start the fire the control elements have to be put in the following positions [ "
]:
%
Door handle: "Heat up" 45° angle.
%
Twinfire air control: High (push all the way to the back).
Attention! The surface of the stove could become very hot.
As soon as the kindling has turned into a stable flame, typically after 5 minutes, additional
wood can be put into the stove. This next load should be limited to two or three small pieces,
totally 1.2kg, in the upper combustion chamber. Until the necessary basic bed of fire is
reached, the Twinfire handle has to remain in the "Heat up" position and the air control knob
fully open [ "
].
Once the thermometer reads 90°C (please see image on next page) a blaze should have
ignited so you can switch the handle to the "Twinfire
®
" position [ #
] The combustion occurs
primarily downwards through the flame. Attempting to engage Twinfire
®
before the thermometer
reads the correct temperature may cause unnecessary pollution emission and slow the Heat Up
phase of the Xeoos
