3. Fuel
3.1 Recommended Fuel
Wood burner performance depends greatly on the fuel used. Good firewood has been cut to
the correct length for the appliance, split to a range of sizes and stacked in the open until its
moisture content is down to 15% to 20%. Proper fuel makes it easier to regulate heat and keep
the wood burner and flue in better condition.
Use split pieces of wood, they will burn better than logs. Make sure to have various size of
wood.Thin firewood should be used to get higher thermal power, use it after lighting the fire for
a faster response as more heat is needed. Use thick wood for a slower combustion when less
heat is needed or for overnight fire. If necessary, when starting the fire, burn a combination of
thin and thick firewood.
Store firewood in a dry, ventilated place protected from the rain for one to two years depending
on the storage and weather conditions.
ENGLISH
DO NOT BURN GARBAGE OF ANY KIND, COAL OR CHARCOAL, TREATED, PAINTED OR
COATED WOOD, PLYWOOD OR PARTICLE BOARD, FINE PAPER, COLORED PAPER OR
CARDBOARD, SALT WATER DRIFTWOOD, MANUFACTURED LOGS CONTAINING WAX OR
CHEMICAL ADDITIVES, RAILROAD TIES AND LIQUIDS SUCH AS KEROSENE OR DIESEL
FUEL TO START A FIRE.
Do not burn manufactured logs made of wax impregnated sawdust or
logs with any chemical additives. Manufactured logs made of 100%
compressed sawdust can be burned with caution in the number of these
logs burned at one time. Start with one manufactured log and see how
the cookstove reacts. Never use more than two manufactured logs.

It is prohibited to put or store: alcohol, gasoline, liquid fuel, flammable materials,
ashes, paper and wood in the accessory compartment.
4.2 Cooking
Cooking can be done in the stainless steel oven, using the cooking grills and the trays provided
with the cookstove. It can also be done in the combustion chamber, using the cooking grils only.
Do not use the trays in the combustion chamber.
The panoramic windows allow you to see the cooking or baking without having to open the
door. The door’s integrated thermometer simplifies the reading of the oven temperature. The
temperature indicated by the thermometer is only used as a reference. During cooking, keep the
oven door closed to keep a constant temperature.
4.3 First Fires
Before ignition, make sure the chimney is clean and clear. The cookstove startup must be done
only when all the installation steps for the cookstove and the chimney have been completed.
During the first fires, the cookstove will give off an unpleasant smell along with a light smoke.
This has to do with the hardening of the paint process. The paint heats up, hardens, and
adheres to metal. The smell and the smoke will disappear when the cookstove has been heated
for several hours. Increase the fire intensity gradually. Open a window. Even though the smoke
and the smell are unpleasant, they are not toxic.
4.4 Lighting a Fire
Load a generous amount of firewood, placing a layer of wood chips or thin firewood and another
layer of thicker wood on top. You must leave the pieces crossed and with enough separation
between them to allow proper air flow.
Light the first layer of wood chips or thin wood using fire-starters or special lighting products,
if necessary.
Leave the door ajar, so that enough air can enter for the fire to light quickly.
Once the wood is well-lit, wait until the temperature is high before completely closing the door
(10 to 45 minutes, depending on factors like wood, air circulation, etc.) and adjust the air inlet.
If you find that the volume of flames decreases, or the fire tends to go out and the smoke inside
the fireplace increases, open the air intake more or repeat the previous step.
ENGLISH
When reloading, if there are not enough embers to light the new load of wood, open the door
and the air inlet.
DO NOT USE FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, NAPHTHA, FUEL OIL, MOTOR
OIL, OR AEROSOLS TO START OR REKINDLE THE FIRE.
DO NOT LEAVE THE COOKSTOVE UNATTENDED WHEN THE DOOR IS SLIGHTLY OPENED.
ALWAYS CLOSE AND LATCH THE DOOR AFTER THE FIRE IGNITES.
